This video features shooting the French Mle 1866 Chassepot rifle. The creator, Forgotten Weapons, collaborated with Canadian Gun Lover, highlighting the Chassepot's rapid-fire capabilities compared to muzzleloaders of its era. The description notes that the ammunition used was slightly longer than military specification, causing the bolt to become tight faster. The video also mentions the microphone clipping, resulting in a quieter than expected sound, and the limited range available for filming. The description also promotes the creator's book, "Chassepot to FAMAS: French Military Rifles."
