In this episode I look at the weapons that helped make the Prussian Army the powerful forces it was. The Needle Gun, a breach loaded rifle which gave the Prussian Infantry such a heavy rate of fire compared to the muzzle loaded smoothbore muskets of the Danish and Austrian Army. The Prussian artillery also the new breach loaded steel cannons.
