It makes one realise just how clever, and revolutionary the gun was.

Fascinating video. Thank you for that.

Kinda earlier than that, but part of the DNA of firearms, a great prog on BBC4, where they make fireworks for an elizabethan display, using the technology and process of the day.

 The Gun That Won The West - Kevin
The old Afrikaaner who coached me in rifle shooting was an elder in the Dutch Reform Church and a senior member of the Oranjemund Rifle Club when we lived there. He had a Winchester 1873 as a "fun" gun. It had a bit of a kick to it.
