how do you do a video about Gatling guns and not include the A10

5 Things you didn't know about boots! 1) Boots go on your feet. 2) Boots have more aggressive tread than ballerina shoes. 3) Boots have long laces. 4) Boot are usually made from leather. 5) Boots are not ideal for playing a basketball game.

One of the first multi firing cannons was the Ribault (Ribauldequin). It was practically a bunch of hand cannons on a rack. The operator would light a fuse which was made so that it can fire multiple barrels simultaneously.

About Custer "likely surviving the battle" had he taken Gatling guns, whose historical consensus is that? Gatling guns wee mounted on artillery carriages. They would have slowed Custer down. If anything, the battle might not have been fought, because Custer wouldn't have been moving quickly enough to catch the Sioux and Cheyenne before they moved to another location. When I was at the Combat Studies Institute, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, OUR historical consensus was that Custer did not err by refusing Gatling guns. He erred by not realizing that he was moving to attack the largest village ever assembled on the Great Plains, and by not understanding that the enemy warriors were in no mood to run away, but were determined to stand and fight, unlike their normal behavior when being attacked by the U.S. Army.

4:27 dang the thought of that thing is quite spooky.

Love these videos. Great work.

I think I remember one of the planes was dubbed "Puff The Magic Dragon" because of the smoke created by all of the guns firing off at once

3:43 naughty language!

the first multi barrel gun were side by side rifles

97 million rounds for 5300 kills? Not very efficient!

Wheel lock pistol Duck foot pistol Volley gun

America! Fuck Yeah! Gatling guns! Fuck Yeah! Bacon! Fuck Yeah! Gatling Guns! Fuck Yeah! Pickup Trucks! Fuck Yeah! Gatling Guns! Fuck Yeah! Vegas! Fuck Yeah! Gatling Guns! Fuck Yeah! Apple Pie! Fuck Yeah! Gatling Guns! Fuck Yeah! The Grand Canyon! Fuck Yeah! Gatling Guns! Fuck Yeah! Six Barrel Machineguns! Six Fuck Yeahs!

5300 killed from over 97 million rounds fired, Jeez that is a bad ratio Thats about 18302 rounds for each target, Not great accuracy thats fer sure but If I was a gunner I would be emptying all the stock pile if I had the chance.

There were cannons that fired multiple projectiles out of multiple barrels. "Volley guns"

Dam...I love that sound when those gatlings are wrapping off....

The pepperbox pistol dates in concept to the 15th century and were being produced by 1790. But it was the Ribauldequin, a volley gun, which may have been the first multiple barrel gun. It's first known use was 1339, the early 14th century.

I love these videos.

97 MILLION rounds fired, killed an estimated 5300 enemy combatants, that's 18,302 fired for each enemy killed, that's some good shooting Tex, bulls eye every time, give or take 20,000 rounds.

M2: I'm old The Gatling gun: *Hi grandson!*

volley guns, side by side barrels with a continuous primer powder line going from the 1st barrel to the last

Actually a Gatling gun had been tried with a electric motor before the jet age, as a experiment to increase the rate of fire over the limitation of manual cranking. The result were astonishing but deemed wasteful and too expensive in costs of ammunition for the military in the late 1800 s which was obsessed with what we might call the golden bb doctrine of fire. The US military had adopted the ideology of a one shot one kill and purposefully adopted single shot rifles like that used at the Little Bighorn to instill economy as well as fire discipline. It wasnt until the Spanish Amer. War when troops encountered the legendary Mauser rifle that the doctrine was radically though reluctantly changed into the late 1930 thru WW2 when semi/full automatic fire put an end to the bolt action rifle as a standard infantry weapon.

The duckfoot was the first 1 with four barrels (or sometimes 3) and it fired all 4 (or 3) barrels at the same time

If you have a gatling gun grafted into your arm, you must fight your childhood friend in a desert for freedom.

First multiple barrel 'firearm' was the Chinese tri-shot. It was basically a stick with three barrels that fired three small projectiles when each barrel was lit with a match. It was used in like 800 AD or something like that.

5things you dont know about the colt single action army

I'm going to say Leonardo DaVinci's multi barrel rifle.

The hwacha was a multi barrel arrow launcher that was capable of firing 200 arrows at a time. Have a look at it, I'm pretty sure it fits the criteria

the biggest benefit of having aircraft armed with rotary cannon. that was not even mentioned: any dud's will not jam the weapon but rather eject like spent cartridge . This is very important since pilots have no access to wing mounted weapons during the flight.

Video about gatling gun - thumbnail of modern LMG. Genius.

The first multi barreled weapon would be those crowd control cannons with 12 barrels or more from the 1400s to early 1600s. I think they were called volley guns, used by many different empires and kingdoms.

Pepper box pistols and Puckle guns, one barrel, more of an early revolver, could rapidly fire shots, duckfoot's and volley guns were meant to fire all barrels at once.

Amazing weapon

Actually, Custer's later stupid decisions about deployments and approaches would've ensured the Gatlings were made useless. Thus they would've made no help at all, because the terrain would've made them useless due to the combat being so fluid and the Gatling is designed for static emplacement to be effective. Glad you mention the Spooky, again, another well known public fact.

When is there gonna be a Coast Guard or Air Force one??

I liked every fact, but number 5. Almost everybody who knows anything about military styled weapons knows that, and even if you don't, the first four stats made the 5th quite obvious.

pretty sure I've heard of a type of cannon called an organ gun I may be wrong but that was a multi barrelled mounted gun (for the question at the end)

just wondering but wouldn't the 3 Barrel pole cannon be the first considering it was introduced during the ming dynasty. 1368-1644

the portegeues made the "organ gun" which is multiple guns side by side

There are several contenders for the first rapid fire gun. If you want a mechanical version then the "puckle gun" is a possible contender. However centuries earlier in the days of matchlock weapons there was a "bridge gun" that has up to 120 barrels each spaced a little with a slow burning charge between flash holes. They fired between 3 second and 12 second bursts with reloading taking up to 1 hour. As for the 6000 rounds per minute, the hughes corporation in about 1972 demonstrated a chain gun type gattling that fired 17,000+ rounds per minute. Even the ?US military decided they didn't need that much firepower.

I believe it to be the volly gun.

Duck foot pistol had three barrels that was used for close range targets

the quad barrel hand cannon

The first multi barrel continuous fire fire arm may have been the ribouldadore that was used in the French 100 year war.

An earlier multibarrel was the Puckett gun, used by the British navy I think?

And Vulcan tanks in Vietnam, you guys should do a "five missions we cant show or tell you about but will anyways."

I would like to see a .50 cal Gatling gun...mounted on the new JLTV!

5 facts about British military please

Good talk, now sweep your brass soldier

The French Mitrailleuse was invented in 1851 and preceded the Gatling gun as the first multi-barrel gun firing rifle type ammunition.

roman candle had multiple barrels, rather old, potentially the first. Guess it depends on how technical one wants to get.

Leonardo Da Vinci's multi barrell gun that had three sets of barrels that were loaded as another set was firing

I think I know why this channel has so few subs despite of high production quality...because they have no idea what they are talking about. Its like watching a wiki made by kids that once watched a history channel special.

Leonardo De'Vinci Designed and demonstrated a 2 tiered multi barrel cannon 500 or so years ago.

Either the Mitrailleuse (I dont have a clue how to spell it) or the Nordenfeldt gun.

Puckel gun I have only heard of one occasion where it was used against the ottoman empire

The gun in question is a mitrailleuse (yes, i had to look up the spelling), which is a cannon with several rifle-caliber barrels that can be fired in quick succession or groups, with the earliest true mitrailleuse developed in 1851by the belgian army chief captain Fafschamps. There were earlier examples of the same principle, such as ancient chinese rocket batteries, but the idea of putting more of the same rifles onto a cannon firing more or less at once didnt last since the barrels all still had to be reloaded manually, which took time.

WOOOH SHOTGUN

the volley gun

Spooky!

Knocks volley gun for use on navel ships back when they were still wood. Very heavy (about 20 lbs if my memory serves).

i wanna say the nordenfelt... or maybe the pucket gun? hard to remember.

Knew 1 - 3. Knew about Spooky on 4 but didn't know the total number of rounds fired or kills achieved. 5 I didn't honestly know but wasn't surprised by, figured it was the multiple barrels that would be the reason.

the Hotchkiss 37mm rotary cannon was used in world War 1

Was it a duck foot? A multi barreled flintlock type pistol from the 16th century? It was really bad since none of the barrels faced directly in front of the target

One thousand rounds per/min. Beyond incredible..

the pepper box pistol

How do I get one?

Wow,i never knew that AC47 is a grandpa to the modern AC130.Damn those spookies

Volley guns. Give me a challenge.

The puckle gun

will the metal storm weapons system replace the Gatling Gun in the future?

I knew number 2!

97 million bullets fired and 5300 people killed is still like 1830 bullets per person killed

Was it the Hwacha ? The ancient chinese artillery piece that fired barrages of up to 200 rocket arrows? Not a gun I suppose, but it was a multi-barrel design.

The Piano from WWII?

97 million rounds, 5300 kills. 18301 rounds per KIA. Where do I buy stock in the ammo company?

I thought he meant the duck's foot, it was a multibarrel pistol and the barrels made it looks like a duck's foot

#4. That's about 18300 rounds per successful enemy kill. You gotta love America :)

5:25 he looked down the barrels!

Double barreled shotgun?

I love the fake sound effects. The GAU 2/A and related gatling-type guns don't sound anything like a conventional machine gun. They sound more like a very angry, very large wasp buzzing around.

2 things I want to know please. In SE Asia how many civilians and how many soldiers were killed by "friendly fire"?

Previous multi barrel firearms...I assume you mean a volley gun? Like the French Mitrailleuse?

Custer the Cunthole is one of my ancestors -.- gg history, gg.

puckle gun

Pepper box muskets?

duck foot pistol?

Is it the duck foot pistol?

5 facts about the g36

Volley gun, not sure of its origins but several were fielded during the war of Northern aggresion. One vould say the rocket launching platforms of ancient China would be considered the first multi bareled weapon

Another five things we already knew.

Melvin Maynard Johnson, Jr kinda looks like Saul Goodman.

Amazing how we re-invent stuff... do a search on Volley guns

The mitrailleuse. And Mausers revolver cannon is even better for jet aircraft. It surely can´t keep up with the gatlings over time but within the first second or so the gun delivers more rounds per minute because no speed up is needed. The first second is usually what matters in jet airplanes.

I'm is it the X-Bow? XD

Puckle gun

The Volley Gun, right?

It was the volly gun

Higest RoF weapon: metal storm.

i think it was the pepperbox pistol
