Idk about recoil but if I had to guess the gunpowder is inside that little back part they took out.

Breach loading was known since the 14th century, the problem was making it with consistent quality steel and advanced steel work. Let's say most of those early cannons tended to shatter and transform their crews into grown brief with relative frequency... To ensure that this happened less they would try to make them thicker, it would be impractical to make a handgun that would be reasonably safe with a breach loading system at that time That's why muzzleloaders were favored until the the arrival of the industrial revolution

You can have faster reload with breach-loader or higher pressure and heavier loads for much more firepower. When the target is a stone wall 2-3 meters thick - the choice is obvious

Your brain will explode when you find out the first car was actually electric. This happens with tech through out history: we start at where we'd like to be, but can't so we work around it until we can.

Nothing changes. Similiary with farming equipment. You can buy the most fancy and expensive plow for your tractor, but one day you *WILL* put a big rock or a slab of concrete on it, to weight it up.

A fat wife is even better, because she will get on the machine herself

And some voice over. I plan on making a video some day about medieval weapons. With voice over and music :). Stay tuned.

@@mediumaevum I mean the wild west meme music

The breech at the end was loaded with powder as the shot was loaded. It basically works like a primative howitzer.

They would break do to unsuitable materials.

Tak - og i lige måde :)

Ja, det er AI. Personligt synes jeg den engelske virker bedst.

Breech loaded guns were invented as early as the 14th century, according to Wikipedia and other sources.

@@mediumaevumand semi automatic muskets by the 17th!

Yeah, but they did have a tendency to explode

@@CoolKid-qk7tl well there was a gun that forgotten weapons showed off several years ago that was a wheel lock hunting musket wich had a breach AND proto cartridges.

@@CoolKid-qk7tl If I remember correctly, soldiers who were operating mortars and cannons had pretty high salaries. Maybe becuse they were often killed or mutilated by failing equipment.

Bricks made of clay have been used since ancient times in Mesopotamia, Roman Empire etc. But they were not known in Northern Europe, like Scandinavian countries, until the mid-12th century.

@@mediumaevum In ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt were used raw bricks. It's not the same. Roman plinth is much closer to modern brick than an ancient raw brick. And every barbarian who came to conquer the Rome considered himself a Roman after that. Including Germans. They saw Roman architecture. And it was well known to everyone. But no one else used a bricks? Nonsense! The Germans and Franks should have known the brick for a very long time! Same story with Byzantium. The same goes for the Russ, Bulgarians and Serbs, who came under the influence of the Byzantine Church.

@@EykisCorporation You cannot compare the Franks, Germans or Byzantines with Scandinavians. They (Scandinavians) were not under Roman occupation, and there is plenty of evidence the Danes did not know of brick making earlier than the 12th century. If the Danes knew of brick making earlier than the 12th century, archaeologists would know about this. But quite the contrary. The first mentioning of brick making is an inscription on a lead plate over the tomb of Valdemar the Great in Ringsted Church, saying "Ex Lateribus Coctis" - with baked stones. I haven't heard of any historian or archaeologists who dispute the fact that bricks were unknown in Denmark before the 12th century.

@@mediumaevum Forget about Scandinavians! Oh, btw varangians definitely knew about Roman bricks. But I'm talking about the whole medieval and early medieval Europe! I believe that the Gauls and Gotts did not know about the plinth. But the Franks and Germans should know about it. However, there are no images of brick buildings in the paintings of French and English artists before the 12th century. They appear later. Why?

@@EykisCorporation Well, the script I wrote for the voice-over in the video specifically says "12th century northern Europe", and by that I mean northern Germany, northern parts of Poland, Baltic Countries and Scandinavia. Later it is specified that Ringsted Church is Denmark's first brick church, so it's becoming even more specified. As for the Franks and Germans, I agree with you that they would certainly have known about brick making. But I read somewhere that brick making, along with much other knowledge, they were lost after the decline of the Roman Empire. As for bricks, the English and French have lots of other materials at hand like ashlar, so they probably didn't bother baking clay.

Me ;) It's made with virtual instruments on a computer.

​@@mediumaevum Wow! That is so awesome! Congratulatikns! It's beautiful! Thank you for your response! 💕 I hope you won't mind adding a few of your videos to my medieval collection! If you do, please let me know, so I remove them! I've gather a lot of medieval stuff, music, history, etc., just to inspire myself writing a novel around King John's time!

Yes, that's correct. Though, this video is more of an overview, and very generalized. Its also more directed towards telling the story of Ringsted Church rather than the history of the civil war(s).

Mols Bjerge - literally Mols Mountains. But I felt it would be wrong to translate it directly, as there are no mountains, but hills. Danes would know we're talking about hills and not mountains, but foreigners/tourists from abroad won't, necessarily. The English Wikipedia article also translates the name to Mols Hills. In addition, the speak does not say the name of the national park, which btw. is known as Nationalpark Mols Bjerge, internationally as well, it only speaks about the national park IN the mols hills.
