@dougc2004 the effective range of the british lee-enfield .303 rifle was 3 miles, so i am sorry to tell you that your facts are wrong
-
@fifeandforfar several years ago, a british civil war reenactor was seriously wounded by a ramrod which had inadvertantly been left in the barrel by another reenactor.after that, the ramrods weren't used, to avoid injury

hahaha i laughed my butt off when all i heard was GET IT RIGHT, SOUND OFF!!!! gotta love the non-coms/officers, nice job 40th!

The 40th Alabama didn't serve at Shiloh did it? I have an ancestor who was in the 40th and it's nit listed as having been there.
-
You know what is really authentic about these soldiers? How nice and clean their uniforms are. Did their wives put them thru the laundry before this re-enactment?

Please explain why the ramrods are not used in the Enfield rifle loading process. It would seem an important ingredient of authenticity in this reenactment has been ignored.

Its a safety precaution, if the musket accidentally goes off while the ramrod is in the barrel it becomes a dangerous projectile. No bullets are used so there isnt really any need for ramrods in a reenactment.

do you seriously do this as like a game or do you just do it as like a play like a show
coflo1616 3 years ago
It's more like an outdoor play, recreating the sights, sound, and smell of the 19th century battlefield.

sdrain61 do you remember firing by army?
aboschert412 4 years ago
No I don't. It's near impossible to fire by army and to my knowledge there isn't even a command to "fire by army."
