Springfield 1861 rifle drill

Dueling M1855s with @bigredinthewild. This clip is part of a longer video, where we race to complete 3 aimed shots per minute using Burton Minié cartridges, firing at humanoid targets at 100yd. You can distinctly hear the sound of the impact in this clip. If the longer video would get any views, I’d post the whole thing. lol Both rifles are reproduction Springfield Model 1855s, his a type 2 rifled musket, mine a type 1 rifle. FIREARMS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. CONDUCTED ON A PRIVATE RANGE. #muz

Andrew has a discussion on the evolution of the Springfield musket with historian Phil Spaugy. They take a look at how the Springfield evolved from the model 1855 to the 1863 model. The fun does not stop with the history because they take an original and a reproduction Springfield out on the range!
