"He was elderly, indecisive, weak, and unwell, and proved himself utterly incompetent for the post. His entire command was massacred during the ... retreat from Kabul ...."very interesting. so british empire took parts of afghanistan and made it part of the Indian territory.

the jezail is an interesting weapon, heavy custom made musket that fired .50 to .75 caliber rounds.

Wasn't that the year John Bryan established Dallas as a permanent settlement.....or was that 1841 ?
Anyway, the year doesn't really matter. He built a nice log cabin.

You reference 1842 as a point in history. It is relevant in history that Dallas did not even exist them.
It demonstrates how long ago that was. Perhaps both are not relevant to today.
Note for your records, I am not a liberal.

the jezail is an interesting weapon, heavy custom made musket that fired .50 to .75 caliber rounds.
They were often rifled as well.
Shot from high ground, they often out ranged the British weapons who could not return fire.

it made a good sniper rifle. read that it has more in common with the american musket rifle.
some were rifled, most were smooth bore. theres a few of them being used, not for war.
