I've played airsoft with and against York's great-grandson about 15 years ago, he's really quite good and lives out here in California near Monterrey. At the time I didn't know much about military history but the retired green beret who was teaching us how to play tactical airsoft introduced the young man to all of us and said, yes his great-grandfather is quite famous and then proceeded to tell us the story. What was great about the young great-grandson was he was quite humble about the whole thing.

My Grandfather was a Sgt. in the British Army in WWI. My Great Uncle was killed while fighting beside my Grandfather at Verdun. I was privileged to have known him when we stayed at his house in Blackburn, England, in 1962, while our father went on to his duty station at Karlsruhe, Germany in order to find us proper housing. Grandad was a quiet, peace-loving man of few words, but he told me of what he went through during "The War to End All Wars," as he referred to WWI. He never referred to any specific weapons used on either side, except for "Gerry's" machine guns and what he considered even worse; the Gas. He was in the Home Guard during WWII and he prayed there would never be another world war, for he had lost too many friends and family to both wars. RIP, Grandpapa, and may your prayers be answered!

A lot of veterans brought their weapons back from the Civil War and then jumped West at the prospect of Free land in Wild territories, where they had many uses for a firearm.

This is an EXCELLENT series, and I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in small firearm guns. I am writing a book on the history of the US, and with each war I document it major differences, which includes key weapons, so this series is immensely productive for me. It also explains many gun facts I was missing, such as the American Infield rifle, the 30-06 versus the much weaker British .303. I contend that today our soldiers are firing 'pea shooter' ammo and that the 30-06 in all of it forms was so much more powerful and scary than just about anything our military on the ground uses today. Our soldiers should have a much more powerful handgun because the 9mm is even more of a pea shooter. They should have a 911 .45 either, +P ammo, or 45 Super ammo. They should have automatic rifles that shoot powerful rounds, instead of the extremely weak M-16 ammo. My .45 Colt revolver is almost as powerful as the M-16 round, although the rifle rounds go and are effective a lot further. It seems that our military thinks quantity is better than quality, but I contend that this is one of the main factors why we lost in Vietnam, and also in Afghanistan. They are simply not afraid of our soldier on the ground. If you are into shooting, and would like to learn about ammo ballistics (their power, speed, bullet type, etc.) of many handguns and rifle calibers, click on my name here, and then click on 'About'. Then click on my email address, or go to my website, and look under 'Miscellaneous Information'. I have a ballistics file there, or I can email you one. This covers 35 handgun and 25 rifle calibers, and has over 3,000 links to ammo online that you can link to and buy (if they have it in stock of course).

Originally it was chambered in 30-03. the 03 round was larger at 220 grains (vs 150 grain to 180 grain of the 06) and suffered from poor performance and wear. it also was a more flat nosed round compared to the spitzer pointed rounds of other nations and the 06. it was also a hair (1.2 mm) longer than the 06. overall the 03 is a severe question mark in how that was even accepted but the 06 was a great improvement, one that wouldnt be topped until it was modernized to the modern .308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO).

I have to say that it's pretty obvious these actors have never handled a LEE/SMLE in their lives! They made every possible error that, had they been British troops in training or in action, they would have been verbally horse-whipped. the totally uncontrolled way these actors operated the bolt and the way they fired wildly would have had the Germans pissing themselves laughing! The narrator too, seemed to side-slip the fact that, a licence was given to the US Springfield Company to produce the Lee Enfield, but broached to accept the American standard ammunition. It was interesting to note a brief clip where the soldier was using a Lee with a bayonet attacked. That bayonet was again, a Lee pattern, butit had two notches cut into the handle. This was in fact an American bayonet that only fitted the Springfield Lee. Those notches were a later refinement, and purely for identification purposes. On the battlefield, a soldier who may have needed to pick up a rifle or bayonet, whether it was British or American, and the only way he could tell the proper bayonet in either day or night, was whether or not it had the two notches. So the actor in the video was carrying the US version of both rifle and bayonet.

I would say it's the Vertical Smear effect from a CCD sensor. The wikipedia tries to explain this: "The normal functioning of a CCD, astronomical or otherwise, can be divided into two phases: exposure and readout. During the first phase, the CCD passively collects incoming photons, storing electrons in its cells. After the exposure time is passed, the cells are read out one line at a time. During the readout phase, cells are shifted down the entire area of the CCD. While they are shifted, they continue to collect light. Thus, if the shifting is not fast enough, errors can result from light that falls on a cell holding charge during the transfer. These errors are referred to as "vertical smear" and cause a strong light source to create a vertical line above and below its exact location. In addition, the CCD cannot be used to collect light while it is being read out. Unfortunately, a faster shifting requires a faster readout, and a faster readout can introduce errors in the cell charge measurement, leading to a higher noise level. A frame transfer CCD solves both problems: it has a shielded, not light sensitive, area containing as many cells as the area exposed to light. Typically, this area is covered by a reflective material such as aluminium. When the exposure time is up, the cells are transferred very rapidly to the hidden area. Here, safe from any incoming light, cells can be read out at any speed one deems necessary to correctly measure the cells' charge. At the same time, the exposed part of the CCD is collecting light again, so no delay occurs between successive exposures." So the flash appears when the image is being transported and therefore it appears at the wrong location. there's another one a few seconds earlier and that one is at the right location I guess that one is during the exposure phase it's also somewhat bigger which means alot more light/exposure. But I still have some questions here like there should be more vertical smear with the 'hand' one. unless that flash is one microsecond. I also have some problems with that wiki explanation, a video cam, say a cheap 80/90's handycam can't do a fast readout because it has to feed that video signal all the time so that one would need a 'safe space' too. questions. And why does the smear go in both directions? I've checked some old Canon EX-1 footage and the smear is only very little during a night scene with one very bright light and yes it goes in both directions. I also had a JVC 3CCD digital camcorder (consumer grade) and the smearing on that one was much worse. I guess they thought they could do away with the safe space and do a fast readout digitally (which means it's a bit slower). Maybe there's the same thing going on here. A bit of a long story the short version would be 'CCD readout effects' but that wouldn't say much. I could try to explain it but that would be too much guesswork on my part. I could quote the wiki but I don't fully trust that one either. So we end up with this.

Who the hell did you film to get your Maxim/Mg08 footage??? Every damn round was a jam and they were slewing the thing around like they were the gunner in the back of an early biplane! What the actual hell? That's a damn insult to historical use of the weapon. I mean if that's how they were in war, soldiers could go against them with sling stones and come out on top! So awful I had to stop watching!

Who is the hippie at the Army Reserve Museum?? Did anyone notice that he REALLY needs to be totally versed on nomenclature?? He was using a 1903 with the Pederson device cutout in the receiver...could have been a little more clear on the adoption of the '03, and why there was the change for the type of spitzer round and formal adoption of smokeless powder in 1906. He really needs to be precise on the weapon details and history, plus give the reasons behind the lack of the capability of the US armories to produce the Springfield, and the actual better US issued battle rifle, the US 1917 Enfield story. He would be more believable if he GOT A HAIRCUT!! And not act like the rifle was a snake that could bite him.

I mean, the Gatling used pretty much the same principle as the Puckle gun. With a hand crank mechanism. I guess it's fair to say the Maxim was the first ever gas operated machine gun (modern machine gun), but it certainly wasn't the first machine gun.

@@sshep86 aye, I assumed someone would bring that up. But considering the Puckle gun doesn’t use a self contained cartridge, and couldn’t be used in the same roles as machine guns don’t think it meets the criteria to be one. Repeating weapon? Sure. Agreed though on neither Gatling or Puckle being technically at least, machine guns. Maxim for first MG I can live with.
