This video showcases the rare Lindner Breech-Loading Carbine, a Civil War-era firearm. Brownells Gun Tech Caleb Savant examines the carbine's unique breechloading mechanism, which utilized a paper cartridge. Despite being an improvement over muzzleloaders, the Lindner was quickly made obsolete by the advent of metallic cartridges and repeater rifles like the Henry and Spencer. Approximately 900 were delivered to the U.S. War Department, but a dispute led to the contract being largely voided, with remaining units sold in Europe. The video details the loading process and the historical context of its limited production and adoption.
This video compares the 1860 Henry rifle with the 1865 Spencer rifle, focusing on their performance characteristics. The 1860 Henry is highlighted for its speed and low recoil, firing a 200-grain bullet at approximately 1150fps. In contrast, the 1865 Spencer, while slower, fires a heavier 350-grain bullet at about 1250fps, delivering nearly double the foot-pounds of energy per round. The comparison aims to determine which rifle offers superior performance in a head-to-head matchup.
