the specific tech was likely unthinkable but to share an image internationally is not a new thing and the old gun shows used to tour with famous names and personalities as company props to help sales across a number of countries. To have your fame shared across a world stage has been enough to get many to go to war.

what a beutiful guns

General Beauregard may have been somewhat surprised that his revolver would sell for $224k

On a so called "computer"

They had their hopes on MySpace... Prolly a little off... 😓

It's basically free advertising. Everybody wins.

If you've got about 1000 dollars you can buy a replica

@@maxcolt4124 or £100

Does it fire though

@@coreytrevor1920 Does a $1000 replica fire? Yes. They're made by Pietta in Italy. If you're in the US, you can order one online and have it shipped straight to your home, in most states. US federal law does not consider muzzleloading black powder guns to be "firearms" so they're exempt from most gun control laws. Does a $100 replica fire? No, they're just cheap junk.

They had balloon troops :)

They were too busy training the Kansas Coast Guard... (-_-);

HAHA, that may be the cutest thing I've ever heard

That's a very good question! ;-)

Nate Nixon I hope you told him the truth - that the Air Force chose a different sidearm.

The inspiration for Rango

I'm your huckleberry (yes I know it's a different movie instead of the show I just figured the reference fit)

The modern Westworld TV show has The Man In Black using a Lemat as well.

The DEADLIEST pistolero 'ere since wild bill, they say.

Johnny Ringo: Hero or villain? Stone cold killer or "too high-strung"? To quote FMJ/Joker Matthew Modine: "The duality of man, the Jungian thing, sir!"

ChriZ GaGuRo This weapon ain’t designed for metallic cartridges. And percussion replicas exist, if you’re willing to lay down a grand for one.

Would be an NFA item because shotguns are not permitted to be pistols. you would have to register it as a SBS and all the money, waiting and paper work that entails. The market isn't large enough, especially for how large and heavy the final product would be and the cost I'm sure would be well into the 4 digits. Prolly easier to make one yourself, or drop the cash on a black powder one.

@@DescendantSaga what about the Taurus Judge though? Is it considered as a shotgun or just a regular revolver?

@@steinnbjorn7627 it's a revolver because it has a rifled barrel. If it was smooth bore, then it would be a problem

@@DescendantSaga oh, thank you for the info, well, the laws are kind of weird

Edutainment :D

I like that label for GunJesus! ;-) He IS the Sir David A. of the gun world!

I think you mean "a fount of knowledge". Otherwise, I'm in exact agreement, especially with the Attenborough comparison.

That is probably the best compliment anyone in firearms is ever likely to get. "The David Attenborough of firearms." Just, damn.

@@michaelharding6264 no, font is correct

that would be a heavy and bulky firearm.

Who needs wrists anyways?

Press F for wrists.

Pietta make a modernized reproduction

@Alex Eidenier My brother would buy that so fast

also my birthday you forgot that

@@davidfarmer2049 happy birthday david

In what movies did you they use these? If you dont me asking.

That would be awful to aim, goddamn

It was used by Kiefer Sutherland's character in the 2015 movie "Forsaken".

@@elkmeatenjoyer3409 Bruce Willis' character in 12 Monkeys had one

xD right that's what I thought everytime

The xzibit of revolvers

So you can shoot fools WHILE you're shooting fools! Yea ik its an old comment but just HAD to do ita

OMG, OMG, OMG, now i can go out and shoot up where ever i want, i can rob a bank AND a liquar store at the same time and look at the finish. And what this button for? . OMG its so shine. Did you take the old finish off and put on that new one from PPG? And the handle, is that ivory ? I love ivory OMG!! Thank you so much. hey, Donte, look at this , yo, yo yo this di bomb (its the 90 give me a break). Mary Jo bring yer ass over hare and lookit

The ramrod has a ramrod.

Same.

Ahahar! :D

I find that Ian has an incredibly soothing voice actually. Like I could listen to him reading bedtime stories too.

I think if Ian could swing it, all his videos would be mainly in French. Oui?

@@Mr_T_Badgerlol I regularly use Ian’s videos to fall asleep to. I just find a super long one or a playlist and stick a 40 minute phone timer. Never fails to work!

On the mat is a very very heavy revolver and the shotgun part of it is only good very very close unless you're using a slug cause the shot disperses so fast it's everywhere instantly so you have to be like at the most 10 ft from somebody as the owner of a Desperado you can look that up I paid $750 for it's a 12 gauge 8 inch barrel shotgun pistol double barrel just Google the Diablo and it will show you it's an American company 12 gauge shotgun pistol you can order no paperwork or anything it will come in the mail I use triple 7 in it and 209 shotgun primers very fun to shoot again just Google Diablo shotgun pistols and you'll see a list of all the shotgun pistols their new more modern but they are black powder no paperwork and I do not recommend using the pellets for the powder use regular powder in it 777 or stuff like that but not the compressed pellets it sucks in the short pistols 70 grains of black powder works great or the propellant triple seven triple FG

+Liam Talty Pietta made them.

I use it in rdr1 a lot. But the Mauser is better for groups and the high power for normal use.

It exists I heard.

In .357 I think

+krmould Agreed... But ive seen some people complain that he doesnt do as many shooting videos anymore. But I dont mind because im in it for the history and close up videos. His website and youtube channel was always more of an information hub anyway.

Nice

Myra Madd Mud test

No. Now days any museum displaying it would post a disclaimer that he was a terrible racist. Look what the Civil War museum did when it took over the Museum of the Confederacy.

@@alswann2702 We should be careful about idolizing the Confederates. They _were_ ,in fact, terrible racists. I know the Civil War was fought over a variety of issues but they were fighting to keep black people as property.

@@michaeldriggers7681 is that what you believe? The war wasn't over slavery. Real history is hard to come by and that's no accident. Also Victor's write history so.... They can say whatever and people have to take it as truth. Abe destroyed much. Federal gov was born with him. That's when rights started getting taken away. States had the right to succeed Abe was by force trying to keep them in the union. Now we have the federal gov who's power exceeds what for Father's intended and guarded against. Now laws are passed without representation. Many laws exclude government. We the people no longer exist. It's now we the slaves.

Can't really judge people from 150 years ago using our own morals, there wouldn't be a single statue or university building left if we did.

It seems like the ramrod is much nicer on the first series than the later ones. The later one doesn't have the cleaning patch slot. The later ramrod design seems outright trashy, actually...

thanks sonofthem2

Malcolm Reynolds used a sorta LeMatt in Firefly

@@philgiglio9656 Pretty sure that was actually Jayne's gun. Mal had one based on the Colt 1851, if I recall correctly.

Hmm, no, I don't think so. Looks like a Colt, no shotgun barrel.

Too bad them there yankees won

@@williamhill638 really why do you like slavery or something

@@freedomenjoyer1686 probably wishes his ancestors plantation was still in operation.

@@Sneakyboson it was probably a joke. Why are people like this?

@@BigWheel. I agree with you, but I have met a few unsavoury people who advocate for slavery. You never know!

SNOUPS4 merci. Have a brandy on us.

+J. Martinni Generals usually don't get close enough to actually use their sidearms...which is as it should be. They should be giving orders...hopefully good orders. Their personal arms should be in excellent condition.

Yes, but Beauregard had the coolest name.

grayfoxx3 idk "Stonewall" Jackson is pretty damn cool

Not if you are from New Orleans as was Beauregard. The idea was from a New Orleans Doctor, who probably presented the weapon directly to PGTB.What is it with MD's and guns..LeMatt and Gatling???.

Maybe R.E.L. didn't have a LeMat?

@@jimbo97 Does anyone know if Lee even carried a pistol?

I heard the grip was for shooting the shotgun without hurting yourself

+piRaufasertapete I am still looking for one...

+piRaufasertapete That would be great!

+Forgotten Weapons I would like to see a plethora of Lee Enfield's models if you ever get the chance.

RDR2 has a wonderful rendition of it. I run a pair of them.

Hmmm hmmm hmmm… Hmmm hmm HMMMMM.

@@Forbiddensirenz Oh Marsyboissss

Also, it would seem that she was a descendant of the Marquis de Vauban (born "Le Prestre"), engineer/hydraulic engineer, military architect, especially known in France for his military fortifications by the sea, under the reign of Louis XIV (the Sun King). A family definitively connected with military history!

Paging you now. Unlike in Redemtion 1 the shotgun is very functional.

​@@actuallySHRIKEI'm replaying undead nightmare next. Then rdr2 I can't wait.

well, they did

Red dead 2 has the shotgun ability on the LeMat revolver

I have been Yeeted by a Lemat shotgun barrel more times than I've been wrecked by a mw2 noob tube 😂😂

Was just gonna content about it. Lol

Too bad Crackstar doesn't care enough about Red Dead to get Showdowns to work properly.

@@gagemead27 It's a good revolver tho 😁

You realize that it is pretty pathetic to announce that right?

Did you just start looking up rdr/rdr2 vids, or did you just re-install it?.

+Tactical Tightwad Yup.
