Qing era jingal crew, 1850s.

The jingal was in essence a big ass gun that needed a stand (a role often played by an unfortunate soldier) to aim and shoot. If loaded with pebbles and nails, it could be turned into a massive shotgun. They could take up to four minutes to reload!

Mexican presidial lancer, 1836.
The presidial (from "presidio," not "presidential") cavalry was formed originally by the Spanish to basically provide a flying squad to colonial settlements. During the time of Santa Anna, the presidials were invaluable as scouts and light cavalry.

Mexican fusilier in summer dress, 1836.
With poor or nonexistent training, many of the Mexican troops present at the Alamo were prone to friendly-firing their own people. Fearful of the recoil of their muskets, many fired from the hip, resulting in poor accuracy.

Irish volunteer, circa 1916.
The Easter Rising of 1916 was a major but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to establish an Irish independent of the Br*tish. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Irish nonetheless put up quite a doozy of a fight.

Say what you want about the late Qing army's effectiveness (or severe lack of), but they had the DRIP!
