Those are those new fangled breech loaders, they'll never catch on ;)

Having both magazines outside the armoured citadel would have made being under fire 'rather exciting' :-SS X_X

A little dubious about the fellow managing to catch his ramrod on a premature fire if using a full charge.

There is something about the over-enthusiastic aficionado which I find just a bit creepy.

What percentage of this forum do you think might be considered to fall into that category ;)

Having said that I found I couldn't watch the video, the tone of the speaker was so off putting

Truthfully he could have said it all in 27 seconds. I watched the whole thing so you don't have to (I am one of those of which Paul speaks.  :))
BTW he made at least one error and I already expressed my skeptiz schept doubt on another point.

I should add that several people who know me consider me an over-enthusiastic aficionado, they are however not wargamers so their calibration is probably off ;) ;D

OK, I give up. Which one of you lot is Victor Meldrew?   ;D

I guess being a verbose professor helped me last longer. To the 2:39 mark. I my opinion it is fine to be enthusiastic about something. It is not fine to be sanctimoniously enthusiastic about something. Remember boys and girls, you are not just your hobby :p (or perhaps we are...hmm....must sit down and think!)

I had noticed. At one point I thought, "My God, it's like Spartacus."

... "I am Meldrew!" ..... "No, I am Meldrew!" ....

Another one is "route." The word "route" is French for road and pronounced "root." However, nowadays, I've noticed that Americans say "rowt."  They didn't used to say "rowt" - they said "root" like the rest of us (e.g., see Chuck Berry below). "Rowt" is when your men run away (rout). What's going on, America?
