So coming from a culinary background, that means its essentially an emulsion right? Like a ballistol aioli lol

That was the first thing that popped into my mind.

​@@sergeantbigmac Just say Mayonnaise like a normal human.

​@@smartacus88aioli isn't mayo, but both are examples of emulsion

@@smartacus88 haha I knew id rile at least one person up with the word choice... Also yes like someone else said an aioli is technically different, not all aioli is mayo. Most arent actually.

Agree 100%

Aah, that wonderful short period in history where every cartridge revolver was a gate loader... (This may be sarcasm. There is a smaller possibility that it might be right.)

A permanent break-open revolver.

Hahaha!

Lol!

How much do you like obscure webleys!?

@@Candrsenal more of a general contribution rather than for this specific episode :-)

Unless your enemy is a bird 🐦

Which is a good thing.

But it has weight. "Weight is a sign of reliability. If it doesn't work, you can always smack them in the head with it" - Boris.

Nothing a bad nail won’t break

on purpose i should think. however you can always turn it sideways.

The .476 variant could chamber .45 LC so should handle .45 Schofield just fine.

@@tomalong99 thank you, so very nice to know. ^~^ and yes, if one has a .45 Colt it will chamber the shorter .45 Schofield ammunition.

As mentioned in the video the Army Express does chamber .45 Long Colt, as well the British service cartridges. And it was also made in 38 WCF, 44 WCF, and .44 S&W Russian. And the

@@kevinoliver3083 Yep! it only took me two viewings to see it. though the thought still stands. had Webley prominently marked and marketed it to the west with a rebounding hammer, they would have sold a ton.

It's useful stuff. It's not magic, but it's cheap enough (don't get the aerosol) and you can use it on literally everything.

Well, the advantage is that it isn't a DA gun from Colt. Kind of a shitty reputation.

​@@chaimafaghet7343 to be fair, the colts are 100 years old.

the Old Model had major improvements. the New Model walked them back.

At first, I somehow misread this as "Birmingham is a city made from all sorts of metal things," and it didn't really seem all that wrong.

The #3 is a single action, kills it right there.

@@tenofprime Oh, right. :/

No, because the gun would always function 😅. Regards from Canada 🇨🇦

Old terminology for a double action because cocking the hammer back for single action is the third. Term holds its place somewhat for the arc of revolver development up to its plateau in the early 20th century.

It is capable of being fired as a single action or a double action. 1 + 2 = 3

It's the sear. It holds the hammer back and releases it when pressed by the trigger. Having it exposed like that seems common on Tranter-style revolvers

@@jamespalmer7629 Thank you, I could not for the life of me figure out what it could possibly be for as it makes no sense for, say, a weird manual safety or something like that.

They do not exist in the USA

Or British homage to the Colt 1878?

Well we certainly can own these, but we'd most likely also need to own a section 7.1 or 7.3 firearms certificate unless we were lucky enough to find one only chambered for an officially obsolete cartridge.

​​​​​@@derekp2674 What cartridges are considered obsolete anyway? I've done a brief overview of the laws in the UK but it would be nice to have a definitive up to date list. I assume 450 Adams and 455 Enfield would be alright, but 476 Enfield would not? We still have a bit to deal with when it comes to antiques here in Canada too. At first glance an antique requires no license to own and applies to any firearm manufacturered before 1898. But on further investigation it's not that simple. For example any repeating firearm (other than a revolver or semi auto pistol), or any firearm using a cartridge with a bullet of 8mm or less, is always a modern firearm. Requiring a license to own. Furthermore any 12GA/Bore cartridge gun is considered modern. When in comes to handguns it becomes even more difficult. As any handgun 45LC and pretty much the entire .38 family of American centerfire cartridges will always be considered modern, even if they only shoot black powder. Even all reproduction match, wheel, flint and percussion lock reproduction handguns are considered modern (whereas reproduction match, wheel, and flint reproduction longarms are not). As it stands now, the current "modern" (any handgun manufacturered after 1898) handgun market has been frozen by the government. So you couldn't get an Uberti 1851 even if you tried. I think we may have fewer options than you guys, now that I contemplate it.

@@dwi2921 In the UK a list of obsolete calibres forms par of the Antique Firearms Regulations 2021. I think there is also a cut off date of manufacture, which must be before 1939, and anything held as an antique must not be ever fired. So modern replicas do not qualify. None of the British service revolver cartridges are on the list. I suspect this is because batches of brand new .450 are available from time to time and will chamber in all of the later .455 and .476 chambers. S&W .44 Russian was recently added to the list because some criminals were acquiring revolvers in that calibre and then getting ammunition made using modified .44 Special cases.

@@derekp2674 Damn, that sucks. I had heard about the changes in 2021, but didn't know about 450, 455 or 476. Also what the deal with criminals using antiques over there, it's not like there is a shortage of illegal modern handguns in Europe/UK? So you would be able to obtain a No5 Express in 38-40 or 44-40 then?

@@dwi2921 I'm sure both 44 40 and 38 40 are not on the obsolete list. Also, despite what some press reports might suggest, illegal firearms are relatively hard to obtain in the UK. I've seen other press reports that show some of the firearms used in crime are converted blank firers or reactivated deactivated firearms. So whilst some criminals can get hold of decent quality black market firearms, the prices paid are high enough to stimulate the offer of lower cost but poorer quality options.

Hey, 54 times the fun.

Now we know who the richshrevoler was made for!

It makes me wonder what they would have thought of a Ruger Super Blackhawk. Still too delicate? 🤣

Colt's DAs don't exactly have a great reputation.

@@derekp2674 No, Colt had a London branch and they were well known to be crap.

@@derekp2674 The SA ones were fine, but Colt really fucked up DA and since SA only persisted in the US, it kind of shafted them on British contracts.

Anguirus!
