Spencer & Henry - Vol. V, Episode 18

In this episode we take a look at the two more technologically advanced small arms of the Civil War, the Spencer Rifle and Henry Rifle. We look as several originals, discuss how to best employ them in living history, see supporting pieces like ammunition packaging boxes, and view comparisons of them versus the rifled-musket!
