Hi everyone! Today we'll talk about the firearms of the Wild West. Yeah! A cowboy and his trusty Colt 45... Although, Colt 45 - that's kind of boring. How about a cowboy and his lead-spewing pepperbox! Add to that a killing harmonica, a revolver-shotgun combo, and a pullstring revolver. Them old gunsmiths were truly inventive, weren't they? So let us tell you about the most curious and remarkable guns of the Wild West.

    Hunt: Showdown wait, he didn't talk about the chain revovler in the pic I feel cheated.
  • @PyreRecords
    My favorite is when you didn't talk about the chain gun revolver
  • @sumvs5992
    I feel like this guy just watched a few Forgotten Weapons videos, took down a few notes while watching, and just repeated the notes while recording.
  • @Mike0405H
    “The volcanics main issue had to do with the caseless round it used” Proceeds to show footage of rdr2 where shells are ejecting
  • @davewilson7092
    The pistol described as a Colt .45 at about 10 seconds in is actually a Remington 1875 model. Remington isn't Colt.
  • @OriginalAceXD
    Next time, dont cut and paste an empty M249 ammo chain to a 19th centuries revolver
  • @rossbrumby1957
    My favourite was when he was talking about the revolving rifle and used clips from the Quigley film showing a Sharp's rifle being used.
  • “Nooo you cant just make a revolver a machine gun” “Haha pistol go brrrrrr”
  • Just a quick FYI. No one I have ever readmeasures powder or bullet weight in ounces. It's always in Grains or Grams.
  • @andrewb1986
    No belt fed revolver like in the image? Going back to tell YouTube NEVER to recommend you to me again.
  • @max-gras
    Dont do click bait Pls just put a gun on the phumbnail that you actually show. Sorry for bad English im German
  • Talks about the Colt revolver rifle, shows the Shiloh Sharps Long Rifle, a breechloader rifle.

    Pepper Boxes were made hundreds of years before then. I try and educate people on the firearms made previous to the Constitution so they get an idea of what the Founders meant by the Second Amendment. The Constitution and our Founding Fathers wanted us to be AS armed as the State, that we should have any bearable arms we could want, as a deterrent to tyranny. Civilians owned Warships fitted with explosives and multiple cannons, the Founders contracted to build the first automatic rifle but could not afford it, it was something they were doing for the people. There were a slew of "advanced" firearms during the time: Puckle gun, Belton Flintlock, Ferguson Rifle, Kalthoff Repeater, Chinese rocket arrows, Hwacha, Hand cannons, Chinese lever crossbow, Duckfoot pistol, German wheel-lock rifles, Rampart guns, Volley guns, Death battery, German axe pistols. They had rifles that carried a handful of rounds also like the Girandoni Rifle that held 22-25 shots. (Mag limit argument). To suggest that civilians couldn't own any and all arms today and that the Constitution didn't cover them is preposterous. Do you believe that they couldn't envision that technology would advance? If you don't agree with these claims then Free Speech is also limited to goose-quill pen and an iron gall or carbon-based ink if that argument is consistent.

    6:30 They added shields to alleviate this exact problem. The main issue was that revolvers back then could set of their entire cylinder of rounds simultaneously in something called a chain fire. Rare event, even back then (and impossible now with modern bullets), but certainly something that happened now and then. You did NOT want to have your hand in front of the cylinder when that happened. The next one on the list had the exact same problem, albeit in a different way. A chain fire would set off rounds into your face instead of into your hands
  • @someGUYwithADHD
    AWW MAN. I thought you were gonna do what your title said...😭
  • @SomeGunNerd
    4:48 Actually, the Lemat was a cap-and-ball revolver. Each chamber in the cylinder was loaded like a muzzle-loader, as was the under-barrel shotgun. It did not use cartridges. 12:53 Oliver Winchester wasn't a gun maker. He ran the business side of things while gunsmiths like Benjamin Tyler Henry and John Browning designed the guns.
  • @waddney4121
    please don't use this as educational, its entertainment only the information is way off in most instances
  • @jdisdetermined
    I was done as soon as I heard him say the pepperbox was reliable..
  • @ShotgunDart
    The 1873 Colt had a muzzle velocity dependent on the cartridge, but the original 45 Colt load was something like 850 FPS with a 250 grain slug, not 650. The 44 Colt belted out a slug at around ~650 fps. Although, without bullet weight, I can't tell you if the 44 Colt is punching harder or softer than the 41 rimfire.
