This lecture by N.R. Jenzen-Jones, Editor of Armax: The Journal of Contemporary Arms, explores the significant but often overlooked industrialization in Afghanistan during the late 19th century under Abdur Rahman Khan, the 'Iron Emir'. The focus is on the mass production of the Martini-Henry rifle at the Kabul Arsenal, an achievement made possible by British and British Indian expertise. Beyond firearms, the arsenal also produced machine-minted coinage, cartridges, and introduced technologies like steam engines, electricity, and railways to Afghanistan. The lecture delves into the broad range of outputs and the individuals behind these advancements.

This video features ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) sounds associated with shooting a BSA Martini rifle. The focus appears to be on the auditory experience of the firearm being discharged, rather than a technical review, demonstration of shooting techniques, or discussion of specific firearm features. The title explicitly mentions the BSA Martini, highlighting it as the subject.

This video analyzes the British Money-Walker 1868 Trials Rifle, a notable contender in the 1868 British breechloading rifle trials. Patented by Colonel G.H. Money and Mr. M. Walker, the rifle features a simple falling block mechanism with an internal hammer. While it demonstrated moderate rapidity of fire (20 shots per minute and 14 seconds) during testing, it performed poorly in exposure trials. Ultimately, the Martini rifle won the trials, and the Money-Walker system saw limited commercial use in rifles and shotguns.

This updated video explores the Gahendra rifle, a unique Nepalese firearm developed to circumvent British arms restrictions. Contrary to its name, the Gahendra is not a Martini rifle but shares mechanical similarities with earlier Peabody falling block rifles. The video details its development by General Gahendra, its chambering for the .577/.450 Martini cartridge, and the significant variations in bore diameter requiring careful ammunition loading. It also highlights the rifle's individually handmade construction from the 1880s, emphasizing the craftsmanship despite non-interchangeable parts and the use of historically variable steel quality. The video advises caution when shooting these antique firearms due to their age and construction.

This video explores Britain's first standard military training rifle, the No. 2 Mk IV*, a .22 rimfire conversion of the No. 1 Mk III SMLE. Initially developed in 1883 with the Morris cartridge, Britain transitioned to .22 rimfire trainers after the Boer War. Standardization arrived in 1921 with the 'Rifle, short, .22 inch, RF, Mk IV', later designated Rifle, No2 Mk IV* in 1926. This simple conversion utilized a modified standard bolt and retained the original sights, with conversion charts provided for aiming. These rifles served until the 1950s, particularly in India and Australia.

This video showcases a modification to a Martini-Henry rifle chambered in .577/450 Martini caliber. The modification involves fitting a Ross Mk 3 peep sight, inspired by a suggestion from YouTube user Ginsboy2003. The demonstration highlights the potential improvements in accuracy, though initial testing reveals minor issues with the sight's stability. The creators express intent to revisit the modification in future videos, emphasizing that all shooting is conducted on approved ranges under professional supervision.
