Few weapons, if any have
Few weapons, if any have had a greater impact on history in a shorter space of time than the Minié rifle. Introduced in a limited capacity in British service during the Crimean War (1853-56). The Minié with its revolutionary ammunition had a devastating impact against Russian troops during the conflict.
Join Jonathan Ferguson as he examines the system's development and adoption with the British Army, and how its new ammunition would change the shape of weapons development moving forward.
