Durs Egg Flintlock Breech Loading Carbine
At the Institute of Military Technology, Museum Curator Corey Wardrop discusses the Durs Egg Flintlock Breech Loading Carbine.
We begin by comparing the Durs Egg with the Jenks Breech Loading Musketoon. We discuss the history of development from the Crespi system, other firearms by Durs Egg, use and adoption, and interesting facets of the design itself.

We have Forgotten Weapons.
Great video! Somehow I missed the first vid so I'll check that out too. Never heard about this "carbine" before. I love the breech loading action, but that "bayonet" is more like a harpoon.
