Interesting military firearms videos on youtube
Each video usually covers the history of one firearm, including development, production, implementation, evaluation, firing, and opinions.

Search C&Rsenal and you will find many videos covering military guns mostly from the late 1800's to WWI.

I'm watching a video on the 1903 Springfield now:

C&Rsenal has good in-depth info, but their videos are way too long-winded for most folks. (And the host kinda grates on me, to be perfectly honest.)

I prefer Forgotten Weapons. Nearly as much good info, in a more concise presentation. And Ian is a better presenter, especially in his more recent videos, where his presentation and videography have become more polished. Forgotten Weapons is generally lighter on the history/development than C&Rsenal, focusing more on the mechanics of the firearm.

If you like C&Rsenal, you might also like BritishMuzzleLoaders. He does in-depth looks at the weaponry and tactics of the British military from roughly the mid-1800s through WW1 (Victorian/Edwardian eras). Like C&Rsenal, it's good in-depth info, but long-winded, with a less than optimal presenter.
