The tube lock system was a dead end in firearms development, but surely is an interesting concept developed by Giuseppe Console and Vincenz Augustin frorrm 1835 to 1845. This video not only presents the Jägerszutzen or military rifle for the light troops, but also tells a lot about light infantry and light infantry tactics of the Hapsburg and Hungarian Army during the 1848-49 freedom fights. And of course a lot of range time! ;) Please support us at https://www.patreon.com/capandball
