The Romanian Revolver 1915: For when you ask the French to supply you with a wartime side arm, you get sent fewer then you asked for of a Spanish made copy of a Belgian knock-off pistol, cunningly crafted out of iron-fortefied butter. I suppose the plan was to use it long enough to get one of your opponents pistols, then disregard your issued sidearm.

In cycling, the equivalent is the Bicycle Shaped Object. BSOs are typically sub £200 products sold by supermarkets, toy shops, car parts stores and mail-order-type catalogue retailers. They are often "full-bounce BSOs", which look like they have suspension at both ends, but have no damping and inadequate pivots, so give a rougher ride that if the bike were rigid. Conveniently close to "BSA" who made plenty of good-enough-but-heavy bikes half a century ago.

"product-shaped object" is my term for describing modern products which have had all utility and functional merit painstakingly cost-engineered out of them and replaced with swoosh marks, heavy marketing, and extravagant packaging. I regard the term as the generalized form, though in many of these other forms that people mention, the failings of the item in question were never so deliberate.

Yup, we were THAT desperate for firearms. And then, in 1916, it got worse. Of course, this thing was only ever used by 2nd line troops, artillery, etc. We were desperate, not idiots. That being said, as a long time Romanian Reenactor, I would carry one as a holster filler.

@@richardsveum8452to be fair the Spanish revolvers I've seen didn't seem to be concerned with such advanced things as lead shaving from an inconsistent cylinder. As to the RG's, there was a guy, a fairly advanced shooter with more than an extensive firearm collection who occasionally came to the range with some interesting and expensive guns (he was a very successful businessman), produced an RG revolver, a large frame model chambered in 44 magnum. It was shot in a Ransom rest with special adapters, using a long lanyard. Still, bystanders (including me) went and hung out on the backside of the concrete block range office or kinda congregated behind cars. Wonder of wonders, it didn' blow up. BTW, this gut was not shy about large handguns, he had the first Automag I eve saw, he bought and show a Coonan .357 mag and had a bolt-actioned handgun, I think a Wichita, in.308. (And I thought my XP-100 in .35 Remington was hot.)

I have seen these guns and in fact own one of them, although I doubt is a Romanian one. Most of the people who have one think they are in .32-20. Mine actually has that stamped on it, although I don't know who stamped it, or when. A lot of people who have 8mm French revolvers seem to have bought them thinking they were in .32-20. The only other thing i can say is that the name "Crucero" is associated with quite a few of these guns; I believe mine is stamped with it. Oh yes - I suppose someone else has mentioned it, but there is a modern Romanian postage stamp showing a DAMASCENED revolver of this type. Apparently it was a gift from a Spanish gunmaker to the Romanian king.

St George is a knight (a man on a horse) killing a dragon. Bayard is a smart horse with riders. Similar images just kinda makes sense, and it's just a sorta common image across Europe, and NA to an extent? Just saying the similarity of the images don't necessarily imply much.

The barrel screw is a threaded key and a perfectly sound engineering practice, the barrel doesn't need to be torque loaded. As for the steel used it may be that they cut back on case hardening and left it soft. You can see the hammer is case hardened.

Barrels are never case hardened. That’s a terrible idea. A barrel has to flex.

I don't want to be mean, but my highlight in any gun episode is the last scene of the short "War were declared" clip. Allways something different :) (BTW, the Episodes are great !!! )

"... made in somebody's shed ..." Probably was or might as well have been. How does the fit & finish compare to typical Eibar "Ruby" or a Kyber Pass .303 SMLE copy?

Does a revolver with a 39 pound da trigger really need a safety? Also, how do you tell the difference between the safety and the da trigger pull? Also, it looks like they did those offset sites so that you could use them even with the scope mounted.

This was an interesting episode, and kind of a letdown. NOT the sho, as you guys always have great content. The letdown was the fact that a "modern" revolver (single/double action, swing out cylinder) was such a horrible gun. But, as you pointed out, if I was a Romanian soldier, I would likely take it, and care for it as much as possible, because the next option was a sharp stick! Keep up the great work!

This thing is strange. I mean back in engineering school at the age of 14 we had to make a paperweight out of steel. It was just to learn sawing, filing and messuring with hand tools ("metal working unplugged"). And all the measurements, every surface, angle and line was checked on beeing flat and straight for your grade on that workpiece. (filing a flat surface so the paperweight doesn't rock on a flat surface but also doesn't get concave isn't that easy. Or free hand filing a 45° angled phase) None of our workpieces looked as crude as this thing (and i would bet we had less experience and not more time to do it). And yet, it was made by professionals not by tennage students and it was made to fire live rounds, not just to keep paper from beeing blown abway by a breeze... Having to fire one with real ammo would kinf od scare the sh... out of me.

If only a cunning plan had been implemented to let the German army capture the entire shipment with no ammunition. A little special documentation with a 18% high pressure loading for the cartridge. German's would manufacturer 40,000 rounds, and about 20,000 battlefield accidents.

Gotta say that it looks sorta kinda modern on the outside, apart from the grips. Looks can certainly be deceiving. Would've loved to get my mitts on one of those Mexican 1893s, though.
