i hit a squirrel with a 308 once..... it sounded like rain falling back threw the trees.....blew the poor guy off his branch about 20 feet into the air it actually was really funny....(preps for hate)
***** Ever tried "barking" a squirrel with a larger caliber weapon? It's where you hit the branch they're standing on instead of hitting the animal itself. They use to do it back in the days of .50 flintlocks and stuff so that there was actually something left to eat afterwards.
@@williambodin5359 It's not the safest thing in the world, but neither is shooting guns in the first place. If I was standing at the range and had a chance to shoot that thing, I know I would. I'd just be sure to fall with the recoil instead of planting my feet and "taking it like a man." That way I won't break my shoulder.

Thats ok the now but when she's sitting in her rocking chair 50yr from now, trying to knit a scarf for the greatgrand kid and her shoulder is giving her a bit of a problem. She'll say, "hell with that kids. Lets go and see if this here Ol'wall gun still shoots".
"... as we've mentioned earlier the French were extremely desperate for guns at this stage in the war, so when Pvt. Pierre LaCroix showed up to the armory an hour late he was issued a wall gun. Upon firing it he promptly lost both his hearing and the ability to rotate his shoulder."
And his baguette which landed across the english channel where it was promptly tossed back into the sea by a random British gentleman insulted by such a poor culinary taste landing on his front door step.
That's the girl for me. In England they call them punt guns. Fill with loads of shot. And fasten to a flat boat called a punt. I think the record is about 150 ducks with one shot.
@@slimsterslim6531 a punt gun is a large shotgun usually mounted on a punt for duck hunting. Punt guns generally have a much bigger bore than this wall gun does. Unlike a punt gun that fires an awful lot of bird shot a wall gun usually fired a single solid shot and was used as a defensive fortification weapon, think of it as the anti-materiel rifle of its day. While both are big guns they are really nothing alike at all.
@@slimsterslim6531 you're welcome. If you find this muzzle loading wall gun fascinating you might be interested in seeing this much later model of breech loading wall gun ua-cam.com/video/LkW1Fsaxj-Y/v-deo.html.
There is nothing that inspires more pride in me than my Belgian heritage, specifically because at some point in the largest war in human history my great grandfather pointed a .75 cal wall gun at an enemy formation and wound up in a field hospital with a dislocated shoulder.
Mae Guns Whenever someone is next to one of these big guns, like a wall gun or Tankgewehr, I like to imagine that the gun is normal-sized, but the person is tiny.
Reminds me of the old "Goose Guns" they used to hunt the geese in the Chesapeake Bay back in the 17 &1800's. Kills of scores of ducks, sometimes over one hundred with one shot were recorded.
That would be the old punt guns, they made these things look like toys they were that big. Two inch bore minimum and a pound (or more) of shot. That's a bad day for anything those sights are laid on.
@@loumorningstar7709 Yup, and those punt guns were mounted artillery, not an oversized shotgun, as we can see from your figures. Firmly mounted in the boat at both ends and aimed by aiming the boat, IIRC. An attempt to fire one from the shoulder with one mount under the barrel would result in several broken bones, spinal cord injury, severe concussion, and very possibly death. Afaik the stock present on some of them was there for the hunter to align himself to aim it.
While not taking anything away from Mae, war used to be very brutal. To resist an attacker and lose the ensueing siege meant VERY bad news for the citizens of a city. So everyone does their best to help, like, everyone. Wall guns are usually found, funnily enough, on walls. I'm willing to bet during the last few centuries at least one stallwart defender firing down from the walls was a woman, guns are the great equaliser and any willing help is accepted in a desperate fight.
The Fort Ticonderoga museum has a Prussian Wall gun very much like this. To say it's impressive to look at is an understatement. The gun is an absolute beast.
"You see that there?" "Yeah." "And the thing behind it?" "Mhm." "And the thing behind that?" "Yep." "Well see this?" "Okay? What are you going to do?" "We are going to put a hole in all those things, out there and more.... Ears on?" "Ye..." *FUCKING CANNON FIRE*
"And there they had a swamping gun as big as a log of maple, on a mighty little cart, a load for father's kettle. And everytime they fired it up it took a horn of powder, it made a noise like father's gun only a nation louder"
Your new call-sign is "Hamfist". I mean, yhea, I get it, she's quite attractive, but I'm pretty sure she's with the pirate with the plaid shirt. I mean, uh, Othias.
To add my 2 pennies Folks, a Punt Gun is Bigger. Yes, they used a yoke, but they were loaded with shot, then mounted on a boat (called a punt, get it?), then you snuck up on a flock of waterfowl, got as many as possible in your sights and pulled the trigger. Also, every Punt Gun I have seen had no butt on the stock.The yoke transfered the recoil to the Punt.
Yeah, this kind of reminded me of a Punt Gun. I recently read an interesting book about Punt Guns and how they decimated the waterfowl populations in the mid-to-late 1800's. It had pictures of different guns/boat rigs. Interesting bit of history.
My grandfather used to use one with his dad on the river when he was a boy he said the most they ever got in one shot was 27ducks and they used to use Thier old bits of horseshoe and horseshoe nails when they were out of shot
Zombie Apocalypse happens , Young Zebadiah ,whilst still wearing His football uniform ( Zombies sure like to interrupt a nice football practice session ) ,runs home grabs this comically oversized flintlock along with powder ,shot , and wadding from His Great ,Great Grand Papa's Attic ,and mows down Zombies like bowling pins , Zebadiah is now most popular Senior at His High School EVER in that High School's 110 year history .

Drill sergeant: "So today we will see this small girl shooting basically a cannon. From this point on, i don't want to hear the world "recoil" from any one of you."
In Poole Harbour Dorset United Kingdom. They used to use "Punt Guns" to shoot wildfowl. These guns were loaded with grape shot and mounted in a small boat. A person would careful row the boat out in range of a flock of Wildfowl. Then pull the trigger. The bore of the Punt gun is 3 to 4 inches.
Mae, I laugh when you shoot the BIG guns: the harder they kick, the bigger you smile! If you two are ever in Montana, it would be an honor for my wife and I to share a range bay with you and Othias!
my great-granpa had one of those, in Italy those were called "spingarda" They were mounted on riverine/lake punt boats, and used when the migratory flocks of acquatic birds (geese, ducks, mallards etc.) would return to their ponds in the fall, you basically filled these with birdshots, pointed in the general direction of the flock, fired, and then had a pleasant boat trip to grab the fruits of your toil that would justify almost capsizing your cousin's raft and shattering your shoulder and eardrums
This is not for hunting fowl. It's for defending fortified structures. They used single large projectiles, not shot. Google is your friend, do a little research.

Alexander Sears if it was a chinese taiqiang then yes but a flintlock amusette, no; because that would not make a lot of sense because the only gun of the type in the late 1800's to early 1900's would either have to be a taiqiang or a t gewehr as well as any (37mm weapon that could be carried by one or two men.
@George Robartes hunting for market, yep. also used by early logging crews here as well to feed axmen/sawyers. there's one on display at fort michillimacinac, northern michigan that was used to feed brit/american soldiers, traders, natives. it is a monster.
Oof, I hope her shoulder (and arm and spine) was alright after that! I saw the flimsy stand and the U-bracket leaning forwards and thought "noooooo"... She did fire it more than once though, so props to her!
2:57 my tv screensaver came on at the exact time the shot went off.. the screensaver is a black screen with a single white circle that expands into dots of colors lol just wildly coincidental but a cool effect nonetheless

"Once upon a time in a distant land, A young woman named Mae found a magical wall gun"
"With it she cured the nation of a pitiful bickering political party. Oh and uhh a Dragon too which is more important in comparison I guess? The end."
like Mulan, with less China.

There is nothing that inspires more pride in me than my Belgian heritage, specifically because at some point in the largest war in human history my great grandfather pointed a .75 cal wall gun at an enemy formation and wound up in a field hospital with a dislocated shoulder.
caliber of the brown bess....he shoot buck and ball or straight buckshot, or the round ball alone?
Those wall guns are larger than .75 caliber. Most are 1- 1.25", and usually throw 1/2# of buckshot.
.75 that is pretty little for a wall gun is the same bore as a 10 gauge shotgun
@Duane Bettger 12 gauge is around .730-740
When your ancestors were in the Congo, how many hands did they cut off of their slaves?
Will it accept a glock mag?
Probably big enough to fire one.
This think shoots glocks ... the whole gun.
I'd say a whole glock carbine kit would fit down the bore.
Of course it will shoot a Glock mag.
Glad that everyone in this comment thread understands the joke
In the slow-mo I didn't see Mae flinch, between flintlock pan flash and the expectations of being kicked like a mule, that's awesome.
People should be allowed to give multiple "likes" for not flinching.
Mae's been around. She's shot some STUFF. Nothing in this world daunts her.
We call em flinchlocks
The tomboyest of them all!
The smile on Mae's face is just incredible. I loved how the soldiers were just standing there, like "ahh, dang, that girl's tough".

To see that smile on her face after the shot is heartwarming 😍
Watching Mae load that thing thinking HOW MUCH BLACK POWDER!?!?!
*gun explodes*
OH... that much....

About enough for a pot of coffe. Nice little plinker

Top concealed carry list!
ankle carry, no doubt.
Most suited for concealed carry indeed ..... When your obesity is exceeding 200 kg yet still manages to stroll around the block
You probably could conceal it that way. The muzzle in your shoe and the stock under your armpit. Stairs and sitting down would be impossible though.
Player Review lol open carry one of these xD
The catch being that the concealment here is of the carrier, who can hide behind the gun.
The kick that this gun has must be brutal hahaha Hope that shoulder is ok!
Oh yeah, worse one yet! Shoulder was a little sore the next day but I'm just fine now :)

There is so much ASMR here. Muzzle loading like this is so hands on
Good thing they brought out the "compact" model.
In an emergency situation you just simply take out the ram rod, turn around and you have a nayonet
Large shoulder fired gun or small artillery piece?
Alexander Sears Why not both?
It's settled. This must become a DLC gun in Battlefield 1.
Alexander Sears if it was a chinese taiqiang then yes but a flintlock amusette, no; because that would not make a lot of sense because the only gun of the type in the late 1800's to early 1900's would either have to be a taiqiang or a t gewehr as well as any (37mm weapon that could be carried by one or two men.
yes
@George Robartes hunting for market, yep. also used by early logging crews here as well to feed axmen/sawyers. there's one on display at fort michillimacinac, northern michigan that was used to feed brit/american soldiers, traders, natives. it is a monster.
You forgot a crucial step: Building the wall first
The smile in her face, it's just too gratificant
“What caliber is that?”
“Yes”
Bet that thing would create all sorts of chaos if loaded up with grape shot.

in SBR form it would be substantially more manageable due to loss of velocity

But also gigantic fireball.
Obrez'd wall gun. I'm glad I'm not the only one who who thought of it during the two minute loading procedure.
it's called a flamethrower.
3:00 nothing can beat that smile
Oof, I hope her shoulder (and arm and spine) was alright after that! I saw the flimsy stand and the U-bracket leaning forwards and thought "noooooo"... She did fire it more than once though, so props to her!
My go-to gun for home protection
Goliath flintlock.
Was this some kind of special training, with all those Army uniforms behind her?
2:57 my tv screensaver came on at the exact time the shot went off.. the screensaver is a black screen with a single white circle that expands into dots of colors lol just wildly coincidental but a cool effect nonetheless
does someone mind to comment the height and length, I'm looking for a gun that can fit in my pocket.
Check that out I like the way she does not let any gun intimidate her and she has the knowledge of just about any gun she picks up your father taught yo well Mae. You are so different that's for sure. And thats beauty of this world
