When you decide to fully upgrade the starting pistol

You just can’t have any accuracy issues, when your barrel phisically reaches the opponent.

It means pocket as in 'corner pocket'. It doubles as a pool cue.

"Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just- hooooooly moses!"

Girl's pockets: can't even fit a cellphone Boy's pockets:

When you absolutely positively have to shoot down the batwing.

"It acts as an eye shield, and I think that's actually remarkably foresighted of them".

All the stopping power of a revolver combined with the inconvenience of a rifle. With added bonus of burning gas straight in your face.

imagine dual wielding those without the stock

I like how the stock is the detachable part, as if people would need to cut down a tiny bit of length but keep the goofytown barrel

Ian and his French addiction. Now he's being sassy about the British and the Queens English. The bloody cheek of the chap! 😉

Only Paul Harrell's pockets would actually be able to conceal this.

"Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

Also calling this a "Pocket Shotgun" sounds like some kind of ATF legal tomfoolery.

"This is going to be a gun of pretty limited utility."

Didn't the Joker have a similar gun without the stock? Chichester is a lovely place in the UK.

The GIGN is extremely interested

Imagine just being in a standoff duel and the dude awkwardly pulls this from his pant leg.

Finally, a legitimate option to change up my current everyday carry. Edit - After reflection, I suspect it probably isn't well suited for appendix carry.

When someone takes Looney Tunes cartoon physics seriously.

how does Ian not stop from bursting into laughter throughout this entire video

Probably the biggest iron I’ve ever seen

I subb'd for historical firearm development commentaries. I stay for non-sense like this.

It appears that Ian is self-isolating at Rock Island again... I suspect he has a small apartment hidden in the basement.

>>>>"rimfire pistol shotgun cartridges" You say that phrase as if it doesn't warrant SO much explanation

Or, as they call it in Massachusetts, "Chistah".

Thank God the stock is detachable, I would hate to have that big ol chunk of wood jabbing me in the side while I appendix carry this thing

Behold the power of the pistol whip taken to the next level!!!

Imagine someone slowly coming around a corner with this thing🤣

This makes me think of the Pocket RPG 7 and the Pocket Barret . 50 cal and of course the Pocket A-10 WARTHOG. Have a lovely day you lovely people!

This guy makes great quality videos and whether you're interested in firearms, a hobbyist or neither, you HAVE to admit ian puts together great videos.

“Excuse me while I whip this thing out“.

As to overbore I have some old paper rimfire shotshells in my collection. Some of the " old timers" at gum shows of my youth claimed that in England small shotguns were used to collect butterflys.I remember being told that the guns were comely overboard to reduce velocity and increase pattern spread. I have no written info on this so it is worth what you pay for it. Just wanted to pass along lore from my past.

.......if thats a pocket shotgun, then imagine the size of the creators pants XD

Without the stock it looks like the Gun used by The Joker in Batman 1989 XD

I love when he said it in British

I'm just here to see Ian before he becomes the super deluxe sommelier in the John Wick movie that went into hiding because he refused to serve under the table, being ever the rebel and doing business to obtain a vast collection of historical guns... perhaps he should live on an island that is little more than a rock ;) a ROCK ISLAND if you will!

This looks like the sort of weapon some Mob Boss would have under his desk, preferably with a gold coat.

Wow! Your mention of the 9mm Flobert guns brought back some memories! My Dad used to have a Webley No 3 bore bolt-action garden gun (9mm) - a very handy little gun for short-range pest control. Tiny little cardboard cartridges - never seen or heard of them for the last 45 years!

“Is that a pocket shotgun in your pocket, or are you REALLY happy to see me?”

I wanna see Ian pronounce Chili as Chai-li now.

Remind me of Helsing with the Nazi werewolf wielding a broom handle pistol with a ridiculously long barrel for some reason

This is really neat. Thank you for showing us this bit of firearms history Ian.

When I see something like this, always think they started out designing a gun and just couldn't stop, very much like those cars with overly excessive swoops, rocket imagery and wings etc. from years ago. But at least in this case the flamboyance has it's practical uses.

I'm a bit surprised that it doesn't have a 1-7/8" barrel with a 26" thread-on extension. That way "pocket" would make sense.

You sir, are the Bob Ross of firearms! Love this channel! Got me interested in the world of historic firearms, so much so I 'm working on restoring a Swiss 1889/11 rifle!

I'm from Chichester, and your pronunciation was spot on. I never knew there was a Chichester Rifle Company.

The joker had one of those, without the stock, used to conceal-carry it his pants, cool guy

Looks like something the Joker would use... Still a cool and interesting gun. Also that intro made me laugh :-)

This channel has always calmed me down, my son who was born last month won't sleep without it on.

Watching from just down the road from Chichester UK and loved intro.

The shotgun is pocket sized if your pocket is shotgun sized.

Last time I was this early, i got shot with a flintlock

Thank you Ian!

Love your videos Gun Jesus you pack history and entertainment at the same time please stay safe and keep the content flowing

Ian (correctly) anticipated all the Brits correcting his pronunciation in the comment section lol

We also know how to pronaunce "carbine" properly too 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Jolly good show, Ian!

Thank you , Ian

I believe this type of gun was called a bicycle gun,carried under the top frame rail of a bicycle,around the Victorian era,the idea being you could “pot” a rabbit while cycling to or from work or on a ride out,courting,going to church or a meeting of the patriarchy.

I literally live in chichester, england.

I have a revolver similar to that, obviously a Hopkins & Allen XL frame, stamped "Hinsdale" on the topstrap along with "38 Cal Rim Fire" and "Pat Mch 28 71 May27 79" as well. It has the holes in the bottom of the grip, rearmost one threaded, etc. But, some long-ago gunsmith replaced the barrel with about a 4 1/2" hexagonal rifled .22 barrel with a heavy, dove-tailed and set-screwed rifle-style front site, sleeved the chambers to .22 LR, reduced the firing pin to where it would only hit the smaller .22 rims, and they cut off the outside of the cylinder pin, making it a little shorter than the hole, then fit a purely decorative underlug which has a little nib that fits into the recess in the cylinder pin hole and is then secured by a screw that goes into a tapped hold just back from the muzzle of the barrel. Someone obviously went to a lot of work and made a pretty darn cool .22LR revolver. The sleeves in the cylinder are permanent and line up perfectly. There is no spitting of lead and the lockup is great. They made custom wooden grips with little .. brass? .. plate on one side for the grip screw to mount to. I got it for next to nothing because it's obviously not original except the frame and action, and there's no telling when the thing was modified. Could have been early 20th Century, could have been a decade ago when I got it. The work just looks old so I'm thinking mid-to-late 20th C. In any case it's fun to shoot and looks great on a book case. It was nice seeing the origins of my little gun. Thanks!

Every morning i truly look forward to waking up to see a new video from you. Bravo good sir bravo

"Go ahead, make my day"

Sounded a little more like a South Africa accent. Or as they say, Seth Efrika.

Thank you for starting off the video with the proper pronunciation. I'll be honest, part of the reason i watched it was to see if you got it wrong. Bravo sir!

Another good cold open from Forgotten Weapons.

Ah, yes, I suppose I need extended mags for my pockets.

I think it might be too long to be a "pocket" anything

I love these oddities

He Ian. Another interesting lesson in fire arms from the past. 🇳🇱👍🏻🇺🇸

that's a weird line to open on. do you think "Chicken" should be pronounced differently?

The bigger iron

cool and unusual , thanks ian!

I like it. Cool looking plinker.

Every girl: "Please, please tell me that isn't a gun barrel in your trousers."

Haha, I grew up in Chichester in the UK. Ian’s pronunciation is absolutely correct, but his accent... needs work :)

Another great video!

This is among the most RIDICULOUS guns I have ever seen. How can you look at that with a straight face? ;w;

Uhh The person who had this made definetly was overcompensating for something.

It definitely looks like something someone hacked together, but why

Great opening.

This is extremely my jam, I have a Circuit Judge already but would love to make a collection of such guns

Don't worry, even us brits get confused by place names, like liecestershire and Worcestershire

It is spelled "Eye-Anne", but it's pronounced "Ee-yun".

Now THIS is why I follow this channel

Revolving long guns look really cool.

Who tf had pockets for that

A phrase you’re looking for is “white-label goods”. That’s products produced with the intent to put your own branding on them.

I did enjoy it. Thx!

Bob Special made me think one thing and one thing only, the Bob Semple Revolver.

You do not want to hear how we pronounce Belvoir or Beauchamp.

I can only imagine what the scene with the Joker's gun in Tim Burton's Batman would look like if they had this bad boy

Would be interesting to see a selection of the entire "range" of a type of gun at a certain point in history. E.G. Bottom end to high end revolvers or similar in the 1860's

I would love to see a series of FW videos about the Norwich, Conn revolver manufacturing industry between 1860-90

You think Chichester is bad, try pronouncing "Featherstonhaugh"... ;)

I'm sorry, I need a moment to get over "Chy-chest-er" while I'm at it why don't I watch a game of Basketball, oh look, it's the "Chy-ka-go Red bulls" playing against the "Bows-ton Celtics"

I love shotguns! I have an Nikko shadow shotgun, full 12 gauge. Made in Japan. In Ireland Belfast we need our FAC i have had my FAC for years now, Fire Arm Certificate.

That's wild. Looks like what this channel exists to show off.

Actchxhtually.. it’s pronounced: schghighester
