Sharpe teaches how to shoot 3 bullets a minute. __ In the Peninsular War, a British sergeant is field promoted to a lieutenant in charge of a disrespectful rifle company.

In the book Sharpe has them pile up their stocks and shoot them to pieces. The stocks were hated by one and all as they were a leather stiffened with lacquer to force the men to hold their heads up. As a result, they chaffed the man around the neck and chin area in some cases enough to blister and bleed. By destroying the stocks Sharpe gained the loyalty of his men just as exposing his flogging scars to them to show that he too came from the ranks.

For anyone complaining about this scene, there are videos out there that show the technique works. Search "tap loading musket" or something similar. It's not ideal, there are better ways to load, but it works. And the point of this scene is that Sharpe has one afternoon to get this light company to fire three rounds in a minute, when they've barely been trained, and half of their officers are incompetent. He can't get them to do it using the proper technique, not with so little time, but he can teach them an easier way to manage it for the purposes of the challenge. Maybe later he can teach them proper loading drills.

@@michaelsteinrok3002 A better way to load? Well trained, a soldier should use the paper cartridge as wadding for the bullet, and use his ramrod to ensure the ball and wadding are well packed against the powder charge. And indeed, a rifled barrel requires some sort of patch around the ball to make it grip the rifling and be properly stabilised; that makes it very hard to get the ball down the barrel. But of course these are regular line infantry, not riflemen, so that doesn't really matter so much.

People who are complaining about this scene are simply right and know at least something about guns. Its not nitpicking to point that this scene is complete nonsense even if we will take into consideration that tv series like this have quite some freedom when it comes to historic accuracy. We understand that they are trying to build up Sharpe and his man to be these clever guys that are easily coming with solutions that would make fighting more efficient, while military procedures and other officers are outdated and stubborn, but they are doing it in false. What's more what they showed here is simply very dangerous, I don't think you will complain about warning people from doing something that could injure or even kill them. This practice is very unsafe, you need to remember that its a firearms, gunpowder burns in the chamber, barrel gets very hot after few shots, it was not uncommon for people to get serious burns just from handling a rifle during a battle, it still happens to reenactors today even though they are taking more safety precautions and usually don't shoot them as much as it would be done in any regular historical battle. When you pour new black powder into the barrel it can ignite, if not from its heat then from then from smouldering piece of paper or powder residue. I don't think I need to explain to you how its very stupid to point rifle in such condition in direction of your face, not to mention putting it in your mouth, even without bullet it can end up fatal. Tapping also can work for shot or two but not in any substantial period, for the very same reason that musket bullets were smaller than the barrel calibre black powder leaves a lot of residue that build-ups after each shot, that's why you need to use ramrod because you wouldn't be able to sit the ball down inside the barrel without it, you need to push it through all that stuff. Also tapping can cause rifle to fire even if you have it on half-cock, its not uncommon for lock to get worn out or even just dirty, you have no idea how much of blackpowder residue gets into it as well, and they were not meant to fieldstrip, that wouldn't be done during the battle and even in camp regular footmen wouldn't be allowed to even attempt it since it would be very punishable, so you can imagine that lock was collecting dirt from multiple battles, stopping the sear from locking properly.

I have seen the method demonstrated successfully but that is besides the point. It is the British Army's ability to adapt in the field that is relevant here. Lessons that were unfortunately lost in the ensuing years before Crimea. Something similar occurred in the US after Vietnam. (I know they lost. My point is still valid).

The original reason the leather stock was issued to armies was to give soldiers some neck protection in close fighting (similar to the gorget for officers), but like many things with the military, the original intent is quickly forgotten, and an almost fanatical obsession to tradition and "good order and discipline" takes over. By the Peninsular Champaign, sword and bayonet use was beginning a rapid decline, and by the 1840's the rifle became the standard military arm and pretty much eliminated them.

loading a musket like that is quite dangerous, especially after many shots. If the ball is not all the way down, the barrels can explode. after many shots residue will build up in the barrels increasing the risk of a ball getting stuck. Also if the powder preemtpively ignites (as it sometimes can do - the barrels are hot) then the soldier could blow his face off
@xaviert.123
Жыл бұрын
Ball won't cause it to explode unless it's jammed, premature fire was a risk of using the military-style cartridges but it (i assume) it was an accepted risk given the faster fire rate than having to measure the powder with a flask for each shot

The French manual points out the danger of putting any body part in the face of the muzzle, which is why the musket is angled away from the face and only the thumb and index handle the ball end of the cartridge. Remaining embers have been known to set the next round off during prolongued firing. Also a ball that goes down without wadding is likely to roll out of the barrel...thats a bit of an issue when shooting downhill.

It is obvious that the writer has never been anywhere near an actual Brown Bess. The barrels are very thin and only about half the powder burns with any cartridge. After seven or so rounds the unburnt powder severely constricts the diameter of the bore. A ball that is not rammed smartly home might well jam halfway down the barrel. Firing a piece so loaded is a splendid way to kill the man firing the weapon and give victory to the French.
