Ian is a casual kind of guy. You won't see him get to animated or giddy over things. Just another day on the job so to speak.

I think you might want to watch a few more of his videos there.

@@williamcattr267 except over a full auto makarov

Should have seen him fire an M14 in full auto: "Wow!". 😁

He could get a spitfire for that

On it. Please let me know if you'd be interested in what's currently pre-order due to the speed at which I'm moving this along. I've almost got some builders lined up to make these weapons, just hammering out the details and agreements, dotting the Is and crossing the Ts, so it won't be long now in any case. My goal is to get things up and running smoothly before Feb. 2019, so I can compete with this new-fangled semi-auto "assault weapon" ban that's coming, and give people great and legit ways through it so people aren't mostly defenseless in 2019, plus I'd make a little money for myself in the process. As the government buys up everyone's modern semi-autos, people will be able to turn around and use that money for some legit options that'd do about as well but without all the red tape. Spread the word, too. This is happening, even if that ban doesn't happen. This still looks like a great pistol and a decent opportunity.

I'm interested.

@@kennynoble1223 Do you have an estimated MSRP?

@@beelz5932 I'm not a business, so no. I build and sell on a private basis only, at least for now. In the future, if I get the resources to take on the overhead and liability of business, that might change. For now, this is more of a private hobby and activism sort of thing than anything else.

Remember Schwarzlose's MG was successful. So it's not all bad for him.

@@physixger yes

@@physixger yep, but its basically just a Maxim chambered for 8x50R Mannlicher if I am not mistaken

roteroktober420 the Schwarzlose MG is a delayed blowback machine gun. Not anyway related to the Maxim gun.

@@jackandersen1262 oh sorry my bad, so doesnt this technically make the Schwarzlose more reliable than a Maxim? I mean the Maxim has a lot more moving parts

@@kennynoble1223 Updates?

@@jamesletendre6456 Looks like I'm going to be doing this on my own, so I did redesign the replica to be something I could build with my skill level and available tools at this time. No longer to be chambered For Bordchardt, after much research and tweaking of my design for an antique replica, of this pistol, for legal and practical reasons, some changes were made: -The chamber would be for .41RF (.41 Short), in a smooth bore barrel made of brass to increase velocity* and to prevent it from safely firing modern ammo. -Black powder only, but I suppose .410 hulls (no shell), 15 grains FFFG black powder, 209 percussion caps and lead slugs would do in a pinch. Without the shell, it technically wouldn't be modern ammo. Chamber's not long enough to hold even the shortest .410 shell -magazine capacity 6 rounds internal or 5 round removable -4" barrel length for the 6 round "compact" and 6" barrel length for the "full size" variant. This would ensure an ideal balance between pistol size and the round's velocity. -Also, the action is a bit different than the original. DAO, but still would retain a very similar look and feel to the original weapon from the outside just picking up and looking at it. Even the firing pin would function about the same. No rotating bolt or movable barrel, though. Straight recoil and fixed barrel, for simplicity, keeping cost and potential risk for issues low, for the relatively low energy of the round (think the original .36 cal. brass framed 1851 Navy and it'd be a good approx.), and to make it even further prohibitive to try modifying this weapon to use modern ammo. A rotating bolt would likely result in failures to eject or to fully recoil the slide/bolt unit, anyway. -I've also been able to set a specific price to build this replica antique firearm on demand, and have decided private sale, up to 2 transactions yearly, would be the most I can handle at this time. -$750 per unbranded, privately crafted replica of Schwarzlose 1898 antique firearm/pistol, built and shipped. -$5.50 + shipping cost per package of 5 spent/unprimed and clean brass hulls/cases, and 5 .41" di. lead slugs/bullets, about 96 grains each. Contact me kys1@rocketmail.com for questions, payment instructions, process or other information. I do not make ammunition, sell or ship primers, caps, powders or other explosive/hazardous materials. *EST up to 672 FPS or 96 ft-lbs with suggested load, 6" barrel and black powder substitute.

​@Heatalatur Think what you want. In my opinion people shouldn't just level baseless accusations out of the blue like you just did. If you must know, 1 reason I don't do videos is because the last time I made a detailed, specific public post about any of my work about as neat as this, somebody bigger and richer than I am copied it and screwed me out of 1 of my best inventions. I try not to make the same mistakes twice. Your reply seems ironic, because I don't want to get ripped off! However, if you shoot me an Email, and if you sign an NDA and non-compete agreement, I might share.

@Heatalatur No. To me, you look like somebody randomly slandering/defaming others. I don't know why some people troll ambitious people over the internet. Could it be that you're jealous? Maybe you should channel that energy into something more positive, for yourself. Just my 2 cents or so. Good luck and good bye.

nice meme face

REMOVE MUGABE :^))))))

+REMOVE MUGABE Emoticon*

that meme face when you love a gun that might shoot the bolt back into your face.

Not available for less than 2,000 is my guess.

I think to most Europeans it's wild how late cowboys were a thing.

@@tamlandipper29 As an American, I usually think of 1890 being the end of the "Wild West" era.

Hey now, cowboys are still roaming around. Six-shooters maybe.

@@tamlandipper29 cowboys are still a thing. We're still out there wrangling cattle. And yep, we still mostly dress the same. You should see my hat, you can set up camp under it.

Cowboys are still around. Maybe you’re thinking of outlaws/gunslingers.

"Marky Mark" Markus Gaming something somethin germany something engineering something something

"Marky Mark" Markus Gaming Yes, and also manual repeating pistols. Germans and Austrians were definitely on the bleeding edge at the time.

Forgotten Weapons Could the Mars be considered one of the first automatic pistols? I mean, it's from 1897.

leonardo tavares dardenne Early, but not quite one of the first.

"Marky Mark" Markus Gaming germany was very early into everything,so much so it makes ppl believe in aliens :) UFO "experts" use the tech explosion in 1950's USA as proof of alien contact, totally ignoring the tech grab of ww2 by russia and usa from germany,that fueled the space race and cold war between usa and russia/ussr.

BeyondTagusLynx

BeyondTagusLynx Just remember to pronounce "W" as though it were a "V" and you nailed it.

Yes, if Ian will pronounce the second 's' like English 'z' sound, and 'e' like in word 'end', it will be perfect!

You are actually all wrong. It’s pronounced “Shh-warzt-los”

I saw it in a roblox game

I once owned a High Standard Duramatic .22LR Semi-auto that looked a lot like this pistol, the same time I also owned a Ruger Standard model .22, I much prefered the High Standard, it shot better, was more accurate and, just a better made pistol even with the large screw under the frame that held the barrel on the Duramatic. I miss that pistol almost as much as I miss my Luger and Model 25-5 Smith in .45 Long Colt, and Llama .380 mini M1911.

and just imagine what it would look like with a red dot or a laser.

I'd love to get one!

I'm amazed also. I didn't think modern machining required to make such a weapon even existed at that point.

No crossover episode

So...a glock?

Tuton25 No. The Glock uses a tilting barrel locking system whereas this uses a rotating bolt. I would keep the rotating bolt.

the most natural caliber for this pistol would be Tok, if you shortened the action, you could perhaps lengthen the barrel too, that would also be a plus.

skeleton Yeah, but if you're buying his revised version you're probably getting it because it's unique and reliable, not because it's a perfect replica of a really cool 19th. century pistol.

Jesse Sisolack So, like Pietta/Uberti? Because that's what they do. And if you can get your cost/safety ratio right, it can be a pretty profitable venture.

DFX2KX Yes, but they have a specific nitch they fill, mostly late 1800s designs.

Me to bro I'd love to get one!

***** Thanks, but the History Channel doesn't actually do history anymore. There is much better history on KZfaq, compared to Ancient Aliens, Hunting Bigfoot, and whatever else they have on cable anymore. Television is a dying medium.

Forgotten Weapons agreed.

That wasnt dig at you by the way!

Forgotten Weapons they still have a reasonable amount of of actual history on History, but most of the good stuff is on the more expensive H2... I'll put my vote in for PBS, because at least they still have plenty of documentaries.

nah a pro show would stop him from rambling and going off on tangents,,,which is the best part

9mm might be too much for this design. Maybe with modifications. I would love to see a reproduction also.

I think the design could actually handle 9 mm fairly easily; the internal ballistics of 7.63 Mauser and 9 Parabellum aren't all that different (as long as you don't insist on feeding it 9 mm +P+); the main problem would be that obvious weak point at the back of the frame.

@@nindger4270 Too much of the 9MM ammo out there is NATO or +P to depend on people "knowing better." .380 or .38 Super would be the best option -- available but not in really hot loads. Really a .32 would work, given that its already a 7.63 design. (or even just keep 7.63 -- the ammo IS out there)

Please don't spoil the concept by raising the bore to 9mm, she is fantastic in 7.63, what a wonderful cartridge, I have had both a broom handle, and a Tokarev not the cheap crap from recent China manufacturer, but a bring home from a GI, who captured it in Vietnam. After the GI found that I had ammo for it, he begged for it back, so I sold it back for what I had given, and sold him the 300 round of surplus mauser ammo I had picked up in Shotgun News. He had been trying to feed it on 30 Luger and having some funny shaped cases after firing them. Ah well, he is gone now, as many of my friends. Wonder what happened to his pistol, he also had a capture SKS still in the paper that he dug out of a pile of rice in a village in Nam, it never made it into combat, and he would not part with it. Nice SKS as well with the blade bayonet and Russian markings, like the pistol.

Cameron Jenkins I hypothesize that that rifle like sight mounting helps with sight aquisition

Shane K Not so. If you simply search "beretta m9 slide failure" you'll find plenty of evidence to the contrary including government-produced reports on the failures. The problem doesn't exist anymore now that some manufacturing problems have been eliminated.

Oh ok, I understand. I personally think it's a quite nice handgun.

Cameron Jenkins I was in the Army when the Army switched to M9s. I can support the fact that the m9s did have that problem. the simple solution was to put a half moon piece of steel (stopper) in the frame. Problem fixed. I wish the Army (Military) had chosen the Para Ordinance 15 (.45) f15 shot .45 variant. but they did not and the M9 is now it.
