This video delves into Major George Fosbery's breechloading prototype rifle, a contender in British trials during the late 1860s for a new cartridge-firing rifle. While ultimately unsuccessful against the Martini-Henry, Fosbery's design was noted for its ability to be loaded with minimal movement, a key requirement for formations. The video highlights that only a small number of these rifles were produced and sold on the civilian market, offering a glimpse into a lesser-known but significant piece of firearm history. The description also references Fosbery's more famous invention, the Webley-Fosbery self-cocking revolver.
