As one (montenegrin - herzegovinian) i confirm that the culture of bearing arms persists to this day. The single shot rifles, pistols, swords, turkish flags and other memorabilia are still passed from father to son. Those are the most prized possesions one owns. The christian Sparta surrounded by Turks for 500 years, surviving through guns, culture and belief in God - Montenegro!

In the royal palace in Cetinje, the old Montenegrin royal capital, Nikolla's personal arms are on display. They include a number of Gassers as you might expect, some of which have quite enormous grips decorated with silver and gems. That sort of embellishment is also found amongst some guns of the northern Albanians, who used both styles of Gassed. These huge handled revolvers seem to have had a ceremonial or parade use, the largest would require a double handed grip. There are a number of normal 'everyday' guns too, and interestingly a fine C96.

The 1880's version of the Khyber Pass was ........ The Khyber Pass . There isn't a direct historical translation for 1880's Belgian arms industry, but a hypothetical did occur to me. Imagine the arms industries of Brasil and Argentina circa 1980 . ( Or circa 2000 Turkey). If they paid zero attention to international patent law , and felt the same way about unabashedly making knockoffs as modern day China . Variable workmanship and materials , but well over 50% were at least reasonably serviceable . But very affordable . The other example just hit me . Think Phillipines arms industry 10 years ago .

I spent a short time in Montenegro 20 years ago. I can say that they are a proud people, and not to be trifled with. When it was discovered that I was an American, I was often invited to inspect the sidearm that the person I was speaking to was carrying, because, I assume, they believed that Americans had a keener appreciation of firearms that the average European. It was a country that I would very much like to return to and visit in greater depth.

I shot an actual Gasser made "Montenegrin" top-break while visiting a friend in Bulgaria, where they are quite common - he made his own handloads from 7.62X54R cases with unjacketed lead bullets, and, let me tell, you it's as close I ever got to an actual hand-cannon. That thing packs a wallop. The action however, worked pretty well for it's age and it was steel, not iron. Also, is that a Remington model 8C I spy behind you? (I'm guessing "C", because of the semi-pistol grip buttstock)

One of the biggest Montenegrin victories of the Great War was the Battle of Mojkovac (6500 Montenegrin vs 30.000 Austrians), after the battle Austrian general Reinöhl had this to say: _The courage of the Montenegrin soldier has no equal in the history of wars. Here you could see the Montenegrin soldier attacking the bayonets of the enemy with his bare hands. That numerically small army, armed with primitive weapons, on the terrain of Mojkovac for days stopped the much more numerous Austro- Hungarian Army, equipped with modern arms._ You can check a short clip about it on The Great War channel -> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atFpjMWkzNHXpac.html

@Doom I'd like to know where you saw that video, because I can't find it. There's plenty of videos of people blowing them up on purpose, but none of them just exploding. I found a video of a Glock exploding when I searched, though. Guns can explode from double-charged or overcharged ammo. It happens. But I've yet to find a single person claiming a Hi-Point exploded or fell apart who could provide evidence of it. Considering all the evidence you can find of Glocks, 1911s, etc. failing, it would seem that Hi-Points are actually more reliable than those guns. @z Mars Same thing. The slides are made using the same die-cast equipment used to make virtually every part of your car's engine. This makes them heavy, but they need to be heavy to be simple blow-back guns. Die-cast parts don't "fall apart." They can bend, they can crack, but I've seen Hi-Points tortured in ways no one would ever do to another gun, up to and including being shot, and they have never fallen apart. I would love to see your source on this phenomenon. I don't own a Hi-Point, so I don't have a dog in this race, but I'm not a fan of lies, and virtually every comment I've seen of someone bad-mouthing a Hi-Point seems to be either a lie or confirmation bias.

Othais please hear me out on pronouncing surnames in Serbo - Croatian (Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina). When you have an -ic at the end of a surname it is in 99% cases originally written as -ić (Petrovic - Petrović). The "i" is pronounced as the first letter of the word "integrity" while the "ć" is pronounced like the first sound of the word "chuckle" in English. More often than not, the endings of these surnames would have been changed at Ellis Island to -ch (Petrovich) in the case of their barers immigrating to the States which makes it more phonetically correct to the original sound. Great episode, love your work!

The part of montenegrin army. Montenegro got its standing army pretty late. They were all volunteers. Those who didnt volunteer/participate in war were bringing great shame to their family and clan and thats why it didnt need standing army. The philosophy behind eit was "you can die fighting for your family or you can wait at home for the enemy to kill you". Basically if you dont go to war its lost lol. Also during the war it was more of a competition between the rivaling clans on who would perform the best. Even in peace time this was present. One of the most famous folk songs is about a war-priest who was mocked by Nikola I so he went alone to the gates of the fortified city to chlange the mayor for a duel. Mayor of the city was scared and ordered guards to shoot him from the walls and thats how he died. Glory and pride was everything to montenegrins.

I have spent some time about 25 years ago, working in this region together with our in Country Distributor and loved the Culture. Very straightforward people, no BS and very hospitable. The Distributor guy I got on so well with, visited our company in England to make a complaint to our MD and at their meeting, Zoran was still not happy, so he thumped the Desk and threatened to shoot the first company person he saw, on his next visit! Please keep this sort of obscure content going, your History detail is so great and I learn so much. PS, your pictorial Primer Index is Brilliant and must be the best for any Firearm Channel.

Right before Othais says "...while this might not seem like an impressive way to run an army...", I'm sitting here thinking to myself "...holy shit, that's one hell of an impressively organized, disciplined, and dedicated large mass of humanity!" I mean, I really couldn't imagine a group of people from today's developed societies actually having such mental fortitude and dedication to the big picture end goal(literally building an independent nation - it doesn't get much more overwhelming than that!) without devolving into violent, constantly fighting tribes & groups(who likely believe that you deserve to be their slaves because they're entitled to a certain minimum level of luxury in their lives - someone still has to pick up the trash even if no one raises their hand...). It's difficult to wrap one's mind around a body of people big enough, claiming a chunk of land large enough, with a fighting... (ability...?) ...that is trained & organized enough to legitimately defend it to some degree - and having to establish this in such a short amount of time as you certainly can't last long with essentially no organized defense. What an amazing group of people

Yeah, possibly, but Israel's not much more than a low-lying Coastal Strip....; I don't think they had any Hills there at all until 1967, when they captured the Golan Heights ? For a while there, they were taking so much of Egypt in 1973 that Tel-Aviv Travel-Agents were printing posters advertising, "Come To Israel, And See The Pyramids...!" But they gave back everything except Gaza, which they kept for their ongoing Holocaust Reinactment, apparently they're trying to replicate conditions in the Warsaw Ghetto ; so that new Generations of Zionists will know what the German Nazis were on about..., or something - perhaps, "German Nazi Concentration-Camps were allways all purely Evil..., but the new improved Israeli Zionazi Concentration Camp of Gaza is totally pure & holy, because the Jewish Tradition teaches that Jews are the Universal Creator-Godtheory's very favorite and personally 'Chosen' Race..." ? Something like that, anyway ; they like to say that they're very sure of themselves, about it all, but from what I underconstumble regarding Theology there are huge apparent holes in their assertion (primarily the fact that the Creator Godtheory of the entire Universe is not a CitiZen, nor a Patriot, of any Nation, Party, Religion, Cult, Tribe, Clan or Family, anywhere on Earth..., hmmmn ?). So, that might make "Armageddon" a bit of an interesting surprise, for whichever hubristic apostatic blasphemous Egomaniac decides to launch the First Strike ; unless I miss my guess.

That revolver looks like it was made by the village blacksmith, who had a box of 44-40 and only heard of revolvers by vague description. A blacksmith with biceps the size of Bournemouth, hands like shovels, a beard you could legitimately lose a badger in, and calls Paul Bunyon "Shorty".

I was hoping for Mae's estimate if what an actual 9 1/4" Montenegrin would have been like, the revolvers that their army carried.

Im sorry, was this carried by Montenegrins or Mandalorians? Because the more you talk about it and its culture behind it, the line gets ever more blurred. Were they ever allowed to remove their hats?

I knew an old Greek man mountain, who fought the Germans in his younger days. It was one of those rubbish highly decorated Albanian models. He said it wasn't reliable, but an angry beast when it did work. He was proud at blowing up heads with it. Those Greek partisans were fairly hardy people.

It is fiction but W E B Griffin did a rather incredible series of books. The Lieutenants is Vol 1 and includes a vignette with some tough Greeks. Good reading.

Throughout the whole Gasser episode, I kept thinking how surprising it was that there was no mention of cavalry or special troops issued Gassers as carbines, a role they seem able to fill pretty well. Guess the Montenegrins thought the same, but were too macho to use a stock like a sissy.

Was the Colt Single Action Army ever used in WW1. If so, any change of a video. It is a sexy beast of a gun.

That is is actually complicated. If you ever watch some of these videos they post a good portion of the revolvers follow the peace maker action. This means I think it was viable for some folks. The problem is I don't really see many people using them. By this time most countries and places were using their own version of a revolver and double actions were popular. They also had improved safer designs I think. Your old revolver would be severely outdated by this time. It doesn't meant you would not see one person using it though. France was pressed for guns and so did Russia. Russia would use literally anything they could get their hands on. So it is possible. The problem is colt was not successful branching off into Europe. Colt tried a long time ago and failed. The market in the 1800s was hard to get into and honestly,... I think it was the mainly the Colt guy (the actual person with the name) had some ignorant hubris to cause his company to flop in Europe. He could have made it successful but did not put that much effort and thought it would be easy jumping into the Eu. market for revolvers. There were however places making colt bootlegs or permitted to make a copy of a colt. It's a long story. What you have know is this. You are not going to see peace makers used often in the war (Noticed I didn't say no? It is like this for a reason. It is because not everything people used or grabbed in desperation was documented.). Europe by the the time of the 1800s after the first revolver was popular already jumped on board and starting having their own market. It became very competitive and robust. Everyone was gravitating towards double action revolvers in Europe during the late years of the 1800s and early 1900 and semi-auto by the time of ww1. The ones that would use such a thing were folks really in big desperation and had to make due with what they had. Some might have used bootlegs that were double actions. Others might have just been legal copy but modified version. It is very tumultuous to keep up with. The peace maker the way I can put it is just something more suited to the Americans and what we would be traversing into in the various environments of the 1800s. The first revolver was a great idea others took noticed and started creating more improved designs of a revolver throughout 1800s. America colt revolvers are literally the eve and adam. They aren't however going to be around often after years of people using their more improved descendants. Heck, I think by this time the U.S. dropped them by that point. It is not impossible for them to be used though. It's just Europe did not had a large market for colt revolvers by this time. They had their own. The ones that you can say are colts or basically a colt despite being made by another guy fall in a strange category of would you still consider it a S.A.A.? It's like declaring a Ruby pistol ruby pistol featured on this show as a 1911. It depends on your definition. Also you had some guns that basically operated the same way or superficially the same as a colt soooo... you can still argue in a way in spirit they were... but not really. If you do find anything it is going to fall in a line of, "That special one case." It's nothing you want to sensationalize or tell people they were used. It's because again.... the gun and the situation of what was around during this period was tumultuous. You are going to have frustration understanding and keeping up with it all.
