Not only delicate, but flexible too: a switch-hitter, I just noticed in this vid! You were firing the RuG revolver righty, but went lefty for the Mannlicher 1905. Is there a backstory, or did you cross it up because the relief target switched sides? [I always like to bat righty vs. a right-handed pitcher, and lefty for left, but that's baso-barru [ie: time to goof-off] not shootin' [ie, time to get down to some serious *FUN*!] ;-) Love C&Rsenal: you & Othias make a great team, bringing these old guns back to life!

I sprayed my familly Hahn 1912 as well a couple of times already , it just happens when you are used to modern pistols. I absolutely love the 1912 its a really nice shooter and passed on from father to son since it was issued to my great grandfather in WW1 and saw action on the eastern as well as on the italian front. It still works perfectly . Once a year i take it out to the range and shoot about 10 rounds through it, people on the range are amazed everytime they see it .

Mae, you're my hero...I could never look that cool firing weapons that old...I'd be too afraid they'd blow up, misfire, etc. since you guys have to hand load most (if not all) of your ammo. Keep up the great work gang! Maybe another live episode in the future? Pretty please?

Yes, there will be another live stream, depends a bit which country collection Othais can complete and when we have our new studio.

@Crimethoughtfull 4 жыл бұрын

WOW, I'm learning so much from these collaborative videos. I'm a history fan with a minor interest in the weapons (most of recorded history is about conflict, so a history fan becomes a "military history" fan kind of by accident b/c that's what historians talk about) and I had no idea about stripper-fed pistols! I now have a new appreciation for the 1911 being box-magazine semi-auto .45...instead of some lame 8mm gate-fed revolver. Just, all these little details that get totally glossed-over, but for a soldier, makes all the difference. Even just playing the Far Cry series of games different guns make a big difference--now thinking about real-world WWI and it is a bit terrifying. "How do our guns stack up against theirs??"

@charlesinglin 8 жыл бұрын

It seems to me that there's some advantages to using stripper clips instead of magazines in a pistol, particularly for cavalry. The stripper clip might be a little slower, depending on how much force it takes to shove the cartridges down, but with magazines you either have to carry a large number of preloaded magazines or stop to reload the empties. And you have to save the empty magazines, which takes time. The empty stripper clip you just toss. There's a practical limit to how many rounds a stripper clip can hold, but at the time there were no high capacity magazines. And the Mannlicher and Roth Steyr really look cool (to me at least).

Hey Indy and team. I have a question, perhaps you can talk about it on out of the trenches? You've touched on Pals before; battalions made up of men from the same village, town or industry. The mention of industry reminded me of a something I heard about Pals and artillery shells. I heard a disproportionate number of artillery shell factory workers signed up for the Pals Battalions and when they took heavy losses that lead to a shortage of qualified shell manufacturers. I understood this to mean unqualified worker replaced them in the factories and produced shells of a lower quality. Is this one of the contributing factors in the large amount of unexploded munitions along the western front today? Vielen Dank für eure tolle Arbeit für die Show!

Enjoyed the video, and find the small arms shows interesting. I was wondering however if you are going to do anything to show the artillery that had such a huge effect on the battlefield. I'm a field artillery officer, and Fort Sill has a ton of WWI artillery.The most interesting thing is that unlike small arms, the basics of artillery have changed little since WWI. We still use cordite to launch high explosive rounds with predicted fire tables for targeting.

Hey Indy and Co. I love the show! I have a question for “Out of the Trenches.” In WW2 in Britain due to rationing there was a black-market for goods and luxury items for sale. How was crime affected during WW1? Was there a black market for civilians and /or soldiers (at the fronts) during the Great War for goods, stealing, corrupt officers selling weapons, ammunition, bribes, etc? This channel is truly interesting and engaging. Looking forward to more episodes in the future from you guys, keep up the good work.

The amazing thing is that a lot of these weapons were chosen for Cavillry useage, whereas as we know that the Tank was taking over, so a lot of these pistols just disappear, as not many people know about them . Hense why by WW2 there are more nationalised weaponry as we all know about WW2 weapons because we recognise them with the nation they served with.

@Candrsenal 8 жыл бұрын

The better handguns over the era were usually built for cavalry. The private purchase market focused on concealment and lots were sold on various "features" like you would see in products today. Many over hyped and unreliable. Soldiers weren't expected to have handguns as rifles were inherently better. Officers weren't meant to fight directly but to lead troops. Cavalry, however, might need to fight from the saddle and their single-handed pistols needed to be powerful. Cavalry concerns drove most of the better designs of the day.

Thank you for this video. Although I subscribe to a couple of gun channels I am a novice and do not really understand term like single action, double action, blowback etc... Anyone knows of a gun 101 video.channel ? You do specials on uniforms and firearms, I would very much like to see similar special about other world war 1 equipment, particularly field telephones and radios.

Amongst his other stuff, I do believe Hickock45 has some firearms basics, along with plenty of safety talk. You should check him out if you're interested in starting with firearms. I'd also recommend Nutnfancy, although he does more talk about the philosophy and purpose behind guns and how you should generally think about what you want out of a gun before getting it, he's a great channel nonetheless.

Thanks, I'll check them out. And my interest is purely intellectual, I don't plan to get a firearm at the moment.

Try Forgotten Weapons, I follow that channel and after watching a few of their videos these terms start to become clear.

I had a Steyr M1912 that someone nickle plated. It was a blast to shoot with that hot 9mm round. I wish I still had it!

I too love the Steyr M.12. I don't know why, either.

When he described how he sprayed the magazine of the Steyr 1912 into his face, was I the only one who thought in Izmas voice, "Why do we even have that lever?"

I know this is pretty cheeky, but is there any chance of the sound files being made available of these antique guns?

Ask Othais, he does a lot of recording.

Styer-hann is my favorite battlefield 1 pistol...just because of its uniqueness.

I can't wait until you do American pistols. I have a ton of questions about the SW 1917 and Colt 1911.

Haaaa the epilogue was filmed during the German rifle episode - you can tell by the emphasis Indy puts on "German HANDguns" - indicates that "German" is assumed. Just thought it was kinda funny.
