Maybe it's just me, but just acknowledging the existence of these firearm patterns thrills me in a way I cannot fully describe. The idea of some inventor coming up with ideas such as these in an era where most firearms were only capable of firing a single shot and required a lengthy and complex reload process just makes me happy. It's not about "how fast you can kill things", it's about the complex engineering and the brilliance of creative problem solving! These have to be the most interesting firearms I have ever seen, and trust me when I say I have seen a lot, especially from the 1600s and 1700s, which is where the most fascinating designs come from (in my opinion at least). Thank you for showing us these designs, silly old me thought the Lorenzoni was the only "practical" repeating flintlock and I was very wrong. This video actually made my day a lot better!

ikr. But then, once you've created a complex design, it's a matter of durability testing it for combat afterward.

@@CHRF-55457 And that's where most people would loose interest, but not me. As stated, I don't really care if a weapon is considered inappropriate for combat, the only thing I care about is how brilliant and original the design is. What fascinates me about these designs is not their capability to reliably kill, but rather the brilliantly thought of designs and the inventive behind them :)

Not strange that a NY militia had those at all! The war of 1812 was fresh and NY was frontline in any war with British Canada. After all, the US had invasion plans into the very late 19th century for Canada. Ottawa is where it is, in part, to help defend it from an invasion.

Ok… now I have to add a repeating flintlock to my dream list. Also shatters my understanding that the founders didn’t have access to fast action type guns. Single shot would likely have been most common to the Everyman, but obviously some wealthy and well connected like them knew they existed when writing second amendment. While I am open to some gun control measures (and marketing) the argument revolving around being able to shoot in rapid succession or imagine even greater engineering seem to be destroyed.

These were made before factories existed, meaning these things were expensive

Both of these weapons were made in the 19th Century, not before the Bill of Rights. And both of these are still FAR slower than a standard semi auto we have these days - let alone full auto.

@isaiahayers1550 the belton flintlock was invented in 1777. The argument is that the founders knew gun tech would advance. They also let people own cannons. Which are at least equivalent to an AR 15 if not more. The inventor even tried to sell them to congress. Trust, they knew about guns and still said ya go ahead.

@isaiahayers1550 2 ай бұрын

@@crisco362 there is no evidence that it ever existed except written correspondence. If it did exist, there's no way to prove it shot as many rounds as the inventor claims. An AR-15 is far more capable of fast, efficient, mass casualties than a cannon. Yes, they knew guns existed but had zero idea of anything like what exists today. Actually what they said was "yeah, we don't want to support a professional, standing army, so form militias to defend the free State (against other States) with a well regulated militia.

@@isaiahayers1550 the dude literally said they were made in the 1780’s, which means the designing was happening years before. Also, you mean to tell me that military leaders and private citizens weren’t thinking about arms advancements? Makes zero sense.

When someone claims they had no "repeaters" when the 2nd amendment was written" you can show them this.

@@isaiahayers1550 Sorry kid, but the Pukkle gun was well known to the fouding fathers. In fact they said "these weapons will only get more efficient over time" they knew full well that invention and innovation would leave far more powerful weapons in the hands of the citizens. Nothing you anti-freedom traitors can say, will erase historical fact.

@@isaiahayers1550 not even close. First one made in 1781…Constitution was signed when? 1789. The second rifle is only 30ish yrs after. Designing takes years, and to think military leaders and private citizens weren’t wanting or thinking about developing weapons is ridiculous. Go read a basic military arms book.

That is a great repeat rifle, however not technically a "firearm" the Ghiradoni air had the ability and capacity of 22 .50 caliber lead balls over 100 PSI SO 22 shots in less than 22 seconds zero recoil 😊because air pressure shoots the bullet because air pressure not a rapport shoots the ammunition easily up to 500 yards!! And zero sound!!! After pumping the stock full you can easily reload 3 times without losing distance before pressure drops!!
