Holy shit ! Do t get me wrong, I’m sure I could get talked into wax projectile duelling,,BUT.. I’ve seen so many stupid things happen with firearms, there is no way I would trust anybody to point a firearm at me. Furthermore the thought of pointing a firearm at someone and pulling the trigger makes me cringe. I’ve shot so many things over the years, that once the trigger get pulled, that’s it. A wax bullet filled with dye or paint, inside a greasy heavy hardened cleaning patch, at 1200fps will make a hole in a body. I’m going to go an watch the Forgotten weapons video on duelling with wax, sounds hilarious.

@@peterparsons7141 ahh actually most rounds fired aren't that high velocity

@@miguelcastaneda7257 yes I understand. But some people don’t know that even small projects can be very dangerous at high velocity.

when I was a kid my dad let us shot them inside the shop if it was cold or wet outside

Garden gun was to shoot critters and birds getting into the garden. My great grandpa used bird shot in his .22.

In UK a 9.mm shotgun was called a garden gun, single shot bolt action, the shells were full length steel cases approximately one and a half inches long, and rim fire if remember correctly

@@jerryhablitzel3333 Is that the same as rat shot for .22?

@@fudgetone .22 crimped on the end that had really small shot in it. Grandpa shot his in town at birds or whatever. Probably use cap or a short on rabbits. It was a really small town a long time ago.

Years ago I knew an older gent that would stuff bb caps into an old Stevens single shot and headshoot rabbits. Worked well out to 7- 10 yards.

I still have half a pack of 4 mm S&B rounds and a Czech made Alpha revolver. I haven’t used it for a long time, but before I often add not only gunpowder to the cartridge and also changed the ball for a bullet for air gun weighing 0.78 grams. It turned out to be a pretty strong and accurate shot.

@@NikNePrydumav Great. You mean Alfaproj, or Alfa-proj or just Alfa, most likely a series Holek revolver, model 640, 440, or 240 (depending on the barrel length). Do you have a power uncapped version or does the frame say 7.5J? If so, adding powder to the cartridge won't change much, especially since the S&B 4mm randz ammo already contains gunpowder. 7.5J Flobert revolvers are massively degassed with power lost through an over-calibre forcing cone, over-calibre bore in the chambers and a massive cylinder gap. I chronoed most Czech Flobert guns, 7.5J 4mm Alfaproj won't make it over 7.5J, rather 4-5J. Still more than enough for fun plinking at max 15 yards.

@@diazemap Alfa-Proj, Brno - 440. I throw out the gunpowder completely, change it to a fast one from construction cartridges like Hilti. it is important not to overfill so that there is a normal extraction from the drum. bullet speed and accuracy increase significantly and, of course, many times exceed the allowed 7.5J)).

Tohle bych neměl říkat, ale taky jsem upravil 22 Long BLANK poplašné a osadil je střelou 5.5mm do vzduchovky, ještě jsem to ale netestoval. 😂

@@martinsohajek6111Moc bych od toho nečekal. Zkoušel jsem hybridní střelivo, kdy jsem naládoval do Chiappy LB 5.5mm diabolku a náboj do poplašňáku. Skončilo to roztrženou diabolkou, kdy zůstal v komoře olověný prstenec, jak se ten projektil roztrhl a bylo potřeba použít vytěrák. Takže jestli můžu něco doporučit, tak střílet jenom broky. Taky se hodně zanášela hlaveň povýstřelovými zplodinami a otěrem měkkého olova. Na hradlech taky nic moc, jak je to vzduchovkové střelivo podkaliberní, 6mm flobert má dle CIP 5.73mm a dvě desetiny milimetru jsou poměrně slušný odfuk. Tuším, že jsem z toho vyždímal jenom něco okolo 20J. Z klasické komunistické předělávky Slavie ZVP potom jenom asi 4J při použití S&B 6mm náboje. I z malorajdy jsou flobert výkony horší, kvůli jiné ráži a stoupání vývrtu. Vzhledem k tomu, co se dá do Flobertky nakomorovat (.22 Long Blank určitě nikoli), není nic silnějšího než po okraj podsypaná špička. Akorát je potřeba se připravit na roztržené nábojnice a případné poškození zbraně, hlavně kolem zápalníku či úderníku.

Right, there is also a 4mm version. They were free untill about 1980...now nearly everything is forbidden by the gunlaw in Germany

@@JWKirK-fr5cn Such a shame. You can buy literally anything Flobert here in the Czech Republic. Unlimited energy, any number of guns, any design, even 9 mm Flobert and all you have to do is pass a background check, have the gun registered by the police and be over 18 years of age. So no gun permit whatsoever, just your ID. Just like in the US. Everything used to be max 7.5J prior to 2021, but now since the legislation was relaxed It has been a blast. I have quite a collection of Flobert guns. Series, customized, hand made pieces, various experimental prototypes, like Chiappa 1873 Colt rebored for 9 mm Flobert. We gave the EU quite the middle finger. Also, our constitution was amended to include the right to bear firearms despite complaints from the Brussels. You're right that there's also a 4mm version, but actually there are two different 4mm cartridges (or rather three). 4mm randz (curte or long) and also M20 centrefire 4mm flobert. M20 used to be very popular in Germany, so I guess you probably mean this one?

@@diazemap Right but the 4mm long was also used in Germany.

Yes, and they were of different caliber due to the lead balls produced in a shot tower. In a shot tower, one would pour molten lead through a sift and it would fall down a tube into a water basin. Due to surface tension, the lead forms small balls which cool down on their way and are further cooled when they hit said water basin. The diameter of such balls would be between 4,3 mm to 4,65 mm and each barrel of a Zimmerstutzen would be engraved with a number matching the caliber. A ball number 7, would be 4,30 mm, and so forth up till ball number 14 which was 4,65 mm. A cute little thing to shoot. :)

They are still available and in production. I use them on new years eve to shoot up flares and other fireworks.

There are still competitions with "Zimmerstutzen" (running Flobert ammo) in Germany.

Every so often someone dies from being shot by an air rifle (not even from a high-powered PCP either). 15-20 ft-lbs can be deadly if you get unlucky.

Have seen many people modify pretty much any caliber you can think of to shoot wax bullets in the home (if you're worried about lead). Have heard though that it's not the lead from bullets that's bad, but lead and mercury from primers that causes the toxicity (and pollution).

@@flat-earther it’s interesting that you can take scientific facts, and come to conclusions that are incorrect. For example, Gleason’s World map, is accurate and correct for the purposes that it was intended. It’s is a longitudinal and time calculating map, and is accurate for that use. It is not evidence that the earth is flat. However I will use it to calculate the effects on the flight of a BB cap, at indoor shooting ranges.

I imagine that 100 pellets of shot law lead to some outrageous shells 😂

@@OkieDokieSmokie "damn that's a big but ugly cannon" "What do you mean rifle? That's just a buckshot shell compliant to the law" "Wtf?"

@@OkieDokieSmokie Basically limits us to really tiny birdshot. A 1988 shooting in my hometown is said to be one of the reasons for the 100 pellet law, as the killed used buckshot and slugs. It also changed the rules for first responders. Since two paramedics were also killed, it made it so that crime scenes could not be entered by other first responders before it has been secured by police. After the 2011 Oslo terrorist attack, this rule was changed again as ambulance personell were forced to stand idly by before police had captured the terrorist. Still though, we're no different than the States when it comes to passing legislation in the name of tragedies and crimes. We think that passing more laws will make it harder to break the other laws. It's quite silly, really.

I found his video on the wax dueling pistols to be highly compelling. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to see those make a comeback some day. Or to have these guys get their hands on some.

That makes sense to me, Dad, uncle and myself used to shoot something like this from CCI. They had both CB and BB sizes. The BB were smaller then the CB. Shot them in a basement into a trap from about 20 ft away. The rounds did fit in the magazine. The rifle was a bolt action 74ish glenfield

I used to set up a trap in my bedroom for my pellet guns. Might be why my marksmanship is pretty good.

Our school was using .22 shorts for rifle team into the late 90s. I think almost everyone had a pocket knife and dirty tricks like pulling a sweater over someone's head in a fight was considered poor form.

I was Captain of my college rifle team class of 79. I had the keys to the range, ammunition, and rifles. Just like you many of the kids had a shotgun in their truck in the student parking lot, just another tool.

We used long rifle and sometimes shorts for practice. The floberts were only ever used for the “intro class” for new shooters. Especially ones that never fired a gun before.

this was was especially good, the expression was too funny

most likely a more powerful primer though

.22 should never be recommended for self defense

@@roarkkaufman9339 I am a firm believer that 5 or 6 rapidly fired rounds from a rifle length barrel velocity, to the upper chest / face region within home defense distance would be absolutely devastating and carnage inducing. Would it be as good as a round of 12 gauge buckshot or a double tap of 5.56? Or course not, however in some cases, I think a 22 can be a very effective weapon.

@@Isaac_5.56x45 Carnage? Hardly, more like pencil wounds. Now would it be fatal? Potentially but if you don't hit a CNS shot with a 22 you can go quite a long time and have a lot of fight in you before your batteries run out.

.22 as a selfdefense round has been discouraged by most 'authorities' in favor of bigger, heavier, and usually faster rounds. However, there was a time when the humble 22 was responsible for more dead humans than all other calibers combined! It will work all else being equal.

@@rileyneufeld7001 That is why I put an emphasis on upper chest / head region. Any 22 will penetrate the skull and enter the brain at close range, that is lights out. A mere gut shot or flesh wound won't stop someone with a 22 like it could with a more powerful round.

I’ve used these for killing rats in the back yard. My pistol is a Ruger 22/45, but it’s not ideal for these. I think a tip-up barrel Taurus PT-22 would be my first choice, followed by a .22 revolver.
