Enfield MkII: Better Than the MkI, I Guess
This video provides an in-depth analysis of the Enfield MkII revolver, a successor to the MkI. Adopted in 1882, the MkII aimed to address issues and reduce costs of its predecessor. Key improvements included a new MkIII cartridge with a heeled .477” bullet for better accuracy and to prevent live rounds from shifting during ejection, a more simplified design to lower production costs, and several mechanical changes for enhanced safety and functionality, such as a hammer block safety. Despite its improvements, the MkII was eventually replaced by the Webley MkI in 1887. The video highlights the historical context and technical specifications of this British service revolver.
