This video explores a hypothetical scenario where the U.S. Army adopted lever-action rifles in the 1870s, contrasting them with the then-standard single-shot Trapdoor rifle. It highlights the historical impact of lever guns like the 1860 Henry and 1866 Winchester on the "old west," emphasizing their advantage in capacity, controllability, and rate of fire over raw cartridge power. The discussion delves into the potential military implications of such a strategic choice.
