Guns of the Old West

Here is an excellent Youtube video about guns of the Old West.  There is a brief portion that talks about the Gatling gun and The Little Big Horn, and the role that well armed Indians played in the defeat of Custer.

Most of the guns of the Old West were used and in constant state of needed repair. The dust and the rugged conditions was hard on weapons, especially the soldiers’ weapons. You’ll like this brief interlude.
