Makes me wanna see a raypunk gothic sci-fi film where the hero carries an old revolver to outwit the laws and regulations.

Some of these states consider even pellet guns firearms that require an FID card so actually, you may have still been busted under state law. Doubt that would have been enough to make it to a prosecutor’s desk but something to keep in mind.

Actually Curios and Relics are still firearms, just ones that were produced at least 50 years before the current date (which is why you still have to go through a licensed dealer or possess a license yourself in order to purchase C&R guns). You are correct about cap and ball guns technically not being firearms though, but in a lot of states they will be counted as a weapon if used in a crime.

Ahhh my man knows his laws

@@ethan9582 An “antique firearm” in the USA is defined as any firearm that is made on or before December 31, 1898. Such guns, even if they fire modern ammunition, are not legally firearms and can be purchased without permit, background check and mailed to your door unless regulated by the state you reside in. Any muzzleloading gun, regardless of bore size and which uses black powder or substitute, is likewise classified as “not a firearm” under the law.

Nah that's just wealthy people talk

@@victorceniceros8308 People of any class can talk that way

I like that kind of interaction. In our range, is very common that if you show interested, you will have your questions answered and very probably you' ll be invited to shoot a couple of times .

It made the video in my opinion....

​@@victorceniceros8308 in the U.S. guns are an everyman hobby. From the poorest, to the wealthiest. Its a massive cultural difference from the UK.

Paper cartridges for percussion revolvers: Ight who called?

Kkkkk This coment was the best one

They had metalic cartridges in 1854 with the Lefaucheaux and a few other revovlers. The Civil War was for the most part the end of the percussion cap era with many metallic cartridges popping up. The Cattleman revovler is a 1873 Colt Single Action Army which is the beginning revolver in both RDRs. They could set it in the 1870s - 1880s which is the height of the Wild West and featured both single action and double actions

Alot of people also used paper cartridges that came pre made which load just like metallic cartridges

This gun's predecessor is in Red Dead 2 Online. It's the 1851 Navy. But in the game, they use paper cartridges, which was the most common way to load them in the Wild West. Loading them with loose powder is more of a modern day thing.

@@TexasHellcat1836 The gun shown is the Army the Navy has a hexangular barrel shape but otherwise your all correct.

Nahh, these types of guns would be bad ass. The slower reloads would allow for more tactical combat and weapon switches. Switching to a separate firearm/sidearm would be for more than just fun. Plus in reality it doesn't take nearly this long.

LOL, you think its like a video game, you could see your enemy just as well as you can today, which means unless he is 50 metres or closer, you aint seeing piss. You fired for effect thats why volley fire was utilised, and rapid fire in which forward would fire first, then second line would fire after in a loose formation.

@@SMGJohn It would be amazing if any of what you said actually countered his argument. He said, “You had to make every shot count even more than today, because you couldn’t just rapid fire ion the individual level.” Do you seriously think that militaries would rely on suppressive fire techniques and tactics the way they do now with single fire weaponry. Seriously?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 seems this one was is for peace signal

I can't believe it people really was doing here, while war goes🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Shree Krish tum hoti toh war nai pyar hojaata

I've read some books about that era and you'd be surprised how fast some of these guys could reload. They wouldn't measure out their powder like this guy is, they've done it so many times they could just pour the powder straight in and get it close enough, then ram the rod, then drop the next bullet and ram the rod again. Point being, an experienced shooter could fully reload his weapon at a surprisingly rapid pace.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 No matter how rapidly they could do it, reloading a musket for just one shot would still take half a minute, & in case of revolvers like this with 6 chambers, definitely at least 2 minutes. No matter how fast a gunman can reload back then, they simply cannot afford to use them as personal weapons in a war.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 they would just swap out the cylinders with new ones. It would take 20 seconds for an average guy, 10 for experienced.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 It is a process. I’m working on it myself. But the loading will and can be repetition. It’s the cap jams that will hang you. You fire and it doesn’t go off? In self defense case, someone would rush you so quick after they hear that dry click or little snap and the ball doesn’t eject.

@@dan2178 Once your colt is lubed and broken in? Yea you can knock the pin out, take the barrel off, remove cylinder and replace. Then put barrel on and slap the pin back in that holds the barrel to the chambers and you’re good. You can do it fairly fast with little practice.

Ooooooohyyhhnaaaghhh

Maybe you need to learn to read next time kiddo

I'd probably shoot myself at least after trying to reload that beautiful little time vampire.

Right you are! Even more interesting, there are reports of some Confederate cavalrymen actually strapping up to 8 cap and ball revolvers to their chest and bandoliers when riding into battle during the civil war! Edit: Two more things that people who laugh and snicker at these old revolvers often forget is that 1) Most soldiers were issued pre-made paper cartridges that drastically sped up the reloading process. 2) These are the days that regular field infantry were often only armed with a single-shot muzzleloader and a bayonet. Imagine you roll up to battle being able to fire even just 6 shots in rapid succession before charging, sabre first at them on horseback. It was a tactical advantage and a big psychological tool!

I learn somethin today

the extra cylinder thing is not very practical, how you gonna tap out the wedge mid battle? even for the remington it probably wasn't that widespread

This is so wrong... soldiers didn’t carry extra cylinders. Pistols were personal defense weapons at close range and not intended to be used in protracted combat. They were also issued with cartridges and not loose ball and powder. Don’t spread misinformation.

Spencer C do you have any idea how heavy a Colt Army is? Nobody was strapping 8 pistols to their chest....

Eagle Eye ok but when you're done give me a chance to reload as well. 😂

They're not being curious-- they're trying to determine if they should step back if he answers with "No, I'm reloading this with the smokeless powder I just picked up from the store..."

How awfull. Did you die?

@@Mr_Fancypants lol

How does the wad stop a chain fire? The wad was behind powder? Wouldn't it have to be on the barrel side of ball to prevent a chain fire?

@@greedyfrog505 No, the wad goes on top of the powder, just next to the ball. Applying grease to the front of the cylinder, or Crisco is not a bad idea. Forcing the lead ball into the cylinder WILL NOT prevent chain firing.

yes, fuk you man

😂😂😂

+Sarim Shah same.самый первый револьвер,дикого запада.

Even in the 1880s and 1890 and well into the 20th century out west most people were still packing these bad boys because many people already had them and they were military surplus costing only a few dollars and the spare parts were pennies compared to the cartridge guns. If I remember correctly during the 1870s 80s and 90s the colt single action army cost around 25-30 dollars and for the time that was at or a above a months wages for the average man or women at the time. The ammunition was much cheaper for the cap and balls as while as a box of fifty .45 colt cartridges set you back some where around a $1.50 - $2.50 per box and when resupply happened as fast as the slowest ox drawn cart as not all towns were anywhere near a rail road and getting an order took several months you bet people were stingy with the ammo.

@@strelnecov مدفع

the 1860 army doesn't take cylinders, you are thinking of the 1858 remington revolver which has a base pin that holds the cylinder. The colt requires a full disassembly to take out the cylinder

Stripped by wrapping in warmed up vinegar soaked paper towels. Then brushed with salt saturated water. Allowed to dry and let set for a week, with several sessions of bathroom shower steam. Then lightly go over with cold blue (I think I did the cold blue after this video).
