Imagine in the future, where there's a Automatic rifle based RPG and it has a huge mag that hold 30 warheads.

@@shi_no_one oh you mean bolters from wh40k

Pretty much yeah. And they literally stood in lines and shot eachother, because that was f**king smart of them. Lmao. Yeah because people were fine with just going to stand right in the front and get shot immediately after firing.

@@EzekiesAcheron they have no choice that time, flintlocks are like inaccurate af.

@@justsomepotato6160 Fair XD you'd think they'd spread out though, so the enemy couldn't hit them.

xD

But I mean even if you carry six - you still have to load them 😆😆😂

@@-_Nuke_-if you’re a good shot six can do much to clear the deck of a ship. I’m not disagreeing with you I’m just saying six guns still stack the odds way more in your favor

Mostly because some anonymous writer using the name Charles Johnson claimed that he did, decades after his death. But sure yeah it's easier than reloading a single pistol after each shot

Anything’s a club.

@@pipebombpete.6861 anything made of wood weighing a certain amount could be qualified as a club.

@@marvinthemaniac7698 you qualified as a virgin

@@MAACH02 how?

Are you rich AF

Unless it's fired from medium range

Also a really pointy socket bayonet from the musket too.

@@kazu9343 yah, but Once a sword, always a sword

Unles, you have a flintlock pepper box, or a double barrel, or more than one gun.

@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 *Saltzpyre intensifies*

Pretty sure that was Lincoln

​@@non-blogger No, Abraham Lincoln said, "you're getting a roundhouse to the face" Melee is fast, but unarmed is faster

@@davidhong1934 you are correct. I mixed up Lincoln with Sun Tzu

fixing bayonets is the same time as taking a sword out.

@@davidhong1934 its a jokey oversimplified quote that abraham lincoln never actually said.

Thanks for your great feedback!

Really?

There was delay.

@@mysteriousman4966 I'm guessing the delay he's referring to is MUCH longer.

@@non-blogger yeah i read it again, he said minimal delay. My bad.

Thanks for the advice!

I was about to type exactly what you just said. Then i decided to see if anyone els said it and i was not surprised when i read you comment. 100 percent bang on

It's hardly a perfect mechanism (part of its modern charm), and the delay is inherent.

Another mr. know it all who never held a gun in his life.

@@DaveDexterMusic Yes, but the slight delay can be mitigated with the proper loading technique. Too much priming powder, too close to the touch hole, or the touch hole being full of powder, causes a bigger delay. Properly loaded, fire should be nearly immediate after pulling the trigger.

It's pretty fun to shoot

It only goes that slow when there's too much powder in the priming pan. It's supposed to flash, not work like a fuse like it does here

@@TomsThriftyLife طع يارا

@@spectre8919 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure having a flash in the pan is a bad thing, and it's pretty blinding.

@@EzekiesAcheron he wasnt Talking about flash powder

Everyone keeps an AR-15 incase the apocalypse happens and we're living in a Mad Max world, but it wouldn't do much good without a way to get ammo. Even reloading spent cartrages would be difficult because that would need smokeless powder which requires specific chemical compounds to make. Those chemicals might not be available in a world where industrial capabilities are crippled or non existent.

@@twistedyogert and how would you craft saltpetre

@@MythSpeed urine and manure.

@Matthew Carpenter you can reload primers with match heads, caps, and homemade priming compounds

@@MythSpeed Back in the days they dug out the floor in old stables.

uh ho

There quite literally was a small pause between the primer powder igniting and the gun discharging

@@zello8722 loader prep error. If I have a slow ignition it is almost always my fault not the gun.

@@ltdc426 I don't know much about guns. Can you explain how the delay goes away and how ignition is the shooter's fault?

@@abhay4147 sure, the delay going away when you own one is being a bit facetious, in other words if at first, or watching others, you perceive a delay you'll get used to it and not really notice it. However with proper lock geometry, flash-hole placement, good frizzen, sharp rock and proper loading, my guns go off every bit as fast as a percussion or even a cartridge. Rocks are simply a piece of nature, they're good 'till they're not. A failure to spark is usually a rock getting dull. On the range I will go three 'clicks' then deem it is time to sharpen. When it becomes a marble, I change it. I've gotten one shot from a single rock (it broke in two) to over 90 shots from a rock. I average 60-70. But while a failure to spark is usually a rock issue, flashes in the pan and slow ignition are almost always my fault in preparation.

@@ltdc426 Thanks for explaining

ya barely any recoil either

No its not

You can order one

May I ask why this patch (0:28) is used when loading the pistol?

@@jaremymallister9004 The patch is lubricated and then wrapped around the ball during loading. This removes pockets of air in the load and serves other purposes: Increases accuracy and rotation Improves safety due to firm seating on the powder charge Helps to scour fouling from the bore

@@TomsThriftyLife I see, thanks for pointing that out. Was this patch used often during European warfare or is it used for modern representations?

@@jaremymallister9004 that I'm not sure of

@@TomsThriftyLife ok, thank you for responding anyway

Ikr 🤣, the eternal Date a Live mystery or just typical pop culture misunderstanding

Well, Kurumi can mess with time right? Wouldn’t be surprising if the guns sort of do an “auto-reload” that skips the time it takes for a reload.

Because anime. X3

Zaphkiel!!!

Yes! Kurumi fans! I found them!

Thank you! Cheers!

lol

You can find this gun in Call Of Duty WW2 (in multiplayer only) an in Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare (in multiplayer only)

@@quentinbrunet6486 There was a blunderbuss in one of the modern CoD games and oh my god it was cringe.

​@@EzekiesAcheronWhy? Innacurate reload?

@@tammid8423 Pretty much, thing loaded at lightspeed and in a really weird way

Woah you are pro

Bull Hippo is also correct, delay can be caused by too much primer in the pan. Best thing to do when you’ve never fired a certain weapon… read and learn, find a mentor to show you how to use it

@@nonbeliever5027 hey, don’t go calling me names!😱

@@davidwiser1113 that was compliment dude

You are correct. Priming the pan with the hammer at full cock is not prudent, and should NOT have been shown here! If people don’t know such a basic safety/operation principle… they shouldn’t be posting videos like this. No need to load with a metallic rod and a hammer, either. SMH!

I believe there was a tool for that, something like a small drill or corkscrew almost to basically dig the ball out. Could be wrong though

There is indeed a tool call a "ball puller" which is a coarse screw you can run into the ball and then yank it out. Only do this when you're damn sure the charge is not going off. Otherwise, the best way to do it is to pick out the touch hole and some of the main charge inside, then trickle some fresh powder in through the touch hole, re-prime, then shoot. The idea is that with a bit of fresh powder, you may yet be able to ignite the main charge. I'll always try this a couple times before using the ball puller but it doesn't happen very often if ever once you know what you're doing.

@@billmelater6470 interesting

🤣

I'm no expert but the powder is packed pretty tight behind the ball. So I think it would hold up.

@@TomsThriftyLife Yeah I looked in how flintlock guns are working, now Im sure it would work (unless gun falls in water)

Probably not a good idea hah. The ball sits firm in the barrel so it probably would jam and be dangerous

You add more and more until it is done.

Couldn't you also wrap up the powder with thin cloth or something and use a wad of it instead?

@@thatoneguyfromhs4944 idk this shit is so confusing

For the pan, you'd cover it with your hand prolly. For the barrel the neck of the Powderhorn goes into the barrel so wind isn't a problem.

@@thatoneguyfromhs4944 Not in the pan, the spark wouldn't ignite the cloth.

I don't think I recorded that part

It gets shot out and is sometimes reusable

@@TomsThriftyLife wdym it get shot out?

@@DuongNguyen-dx2vq it burns up and shoots out of the barrel when you fire the gun. It doesn't typically get stuck in there from my understanding

@@TomsThriftyLife oh thanks

Smooth

both miss, nothing happen, they have to reload

We could do that know if there was a point to it

Cabelas has them, if I'm not mistaken.

Cabela's, Dixie Gun Works, and such.

You meant John Wick?

Traditions Trapper Pistol.

Slightly more accurate fire due to making the pull weight less

Hard to say If you keep your flint sharp and your in a dry environment and your experienced in loading and using these I’d say it fires 98 out of 100 times or better but in slightly damp conditions or if you don’t keep a sharp edge on your flint your reliability will be a lot lower

They were more reliable than people realize when properly loaded, maintained, and in a dry environment. In a wet environment though, they were pretty atrocious. Borderline unusable.
