I knew a gunsmith who kept a Ruger Mk II with a suppressor in his workshop for plinking. He had a bullet trap on the wall maybe 15 feet from his workbench, and when I asked him if he actually shot the gun inside his response was to chamber a round and fire it into the trap. Made about as much noise as somebody clapping their hands very hard. The smoke wasn't a problem because it was in his workshop where he did metalworking and such so he had a powerful ventilation system.
Of course in the 1800s they probably just said "Who gives a shit about hearing loss and lung damage? We're all going to die of tuberculosis and cholera and smallpox and tigers and dysentery and malaria and..."

"Tang" is a term i've only ever heard used when referring to swords/knifes but does make perfect sense in relation to old (and maybe new) rifles and pistols. Learn something new everyday. Thnx, informative as ever
The firing pin tang is a part present on older style bolt rifles. Not sure about new ones but my Grandfathers old .22 from 1950 has one. kind of a little hook that'd latch on and cock the bolt on the forward pull.
This is from the era when British nobility retired after dinner. The women retired to the music room, the men to the smoking room. It is here where a parlour pistol would find its niche, with a small enough powder charge to not kill the servants nor disturb the household at this late hour.
This thing is the definition of form over function. Aneamic ammunition, unreliable and needlessly weird feeding system, elaborate decoration in the metal and grip and it all comes together into a work of gunsmithing art. Wonderful.
This is the most elegant weapon that I ever seen. Not just the appearance, but the working too. No shell to eject, no spring to break, nothing unnecessary.
The name is misleading. I expected the ISS to crash on a random house at the pull of the trigger, or make the Australians fall off the Earth :( I am disappointed
+Forgotten Weapons Good time! I understend that "safety first", but it seems to me and to other - be better if for demonstration you will be used ammo (deactivated for safety reason). Vork of all mechanism in this case will be more clear))))
+Forgotten Weapons This poses an interesting (yet impractical) idea, though, namely - the base of the bullet is hollow anyway, so, it's possible to add rifling inside of the bullet's base, so that the detonation of the powder would apply angular momentum to the bullet, stabilizing its trajectory.
What purpose does the metal tang serve? You can clearly see it at 5:05, it's the piece above the screw head. It looks like it could cut the user if they forgot it was there and consciously avoided it.
How the lady of the household must have looked forward to the boys coming around for a shoot out in the living room. Cleared of all vases and rare plates earlier. Life was real fun in those days!
Well it does make people fall due to gravity, so kinda? But it’s not powerful enough for killing, so it more likely just makes them take a nap instead.
I remember seeing this when the video first came out. I loved this thing then and I do now. It is interesting, yes, but the stylishness of it is glorious.
Another unique weapon....being new to firearms i really never gave much thought to all the history of the firearms.....thanks and keep up the great work.

***** There's two versions of LSAT. One with plastic cased telescoping ammo and another with caseless ammo. The plastic cased version is more developed currently.
Interestingly, the air rifle on the Lewis and Clark expedition was gravity fed and held about 20 rounds, which was the number that could be discharged on one air fill?

UnaSolida please leave. no one likes your "comedic sense". just because everyone else doesnt get it doesnt mean you have to start making fun of everyone else. also, there is a difference between a clip and a magazine.
I remember seeing a small pocket pistol using the same type of mechanism once - volcanic bullets, gravity fed. Except everything is sized down, and the cartridge tube is under the barrel.
I had heard about these, but I always assumed they worked like paintball guns do. This is actually more like the feed mechanism of a bb gun. Cool stuff.
it was a very goon idea for sport shooting and festival ranges: "Hit 7 out of 10 targets and win the prize Lad! hit all 20 and take what you want!" and the cleaning hole was a briliant idea, no need to disassemby the whole gun to take out the barrel.
I must admit, the title immediately reminded me of a Civil War-era humorist, whose account of new weapons being considered by the Government included the *"Mountain Howitzer"*. It promised a great savings on gunpowder: you mounted it on a high hilltop; and when the enemy came in view, you simply tilted the barrel down, and let the ball fall on them.
There are some good ideas here, having no empty cartridges is one of them it means no waste and not giving away your location or trail on the battlefield, but not to be, still interesting of course as all of your vids are Ian, keep up the good work,
Now that was interesting - I was aware of the Volcanic system, the Gyrojet and also the gravity feed system of the Girandoni air rifle but this one is new to me. - Good presentation.
you have the most interesting guns to show I know that's your thing but I thank you...and I'm sure these wonderful pieces of art go to good homes. You are well spoken and very informative. keep up the good work brother.

"Jiggle it a little bit." Very precise and reliable feed mechanism.
I bet you that the reason for the magazine slot is so you could "assist" the cartridges backwards easily.
Jiggle it, just a little bit.
Yeah, but just saying "I have a Gravity Pistol" to your friends would have easily made up for that!

It does. Unless you try to shoot Emus. Emus are to fast and well armored as the Australien Military learned during the Emu war
Only thing that saddens me when i'm watching Forgotten Weapons is that we never have test firing.
I'd love to see some of those guns in action.
I feel you, but for many of them shooting them would do damage to the value, and these are mostly from ROC, which is for actioning.

You may be right, But I don't think it happened all that often as the movies would make us think.

it was a very goon idea for sport shooting and festival ranges: "Hit 7 out of 10 targets and win the prize Lad! hit all 20 and take what you want!"
and the cleaning hole was a briliant idea, no need to disassemby the whole gun to take out the barrel.
This was really interresting, never heard of this smart machanisme, thanks.
That is actually quite out of the box thinking, very cool.
I must admit, the title immediately reminded me of a Civil War-era humorist, whose account of new weapons being considered by the Government included the *"Mountain Howitzer"*. It promised a great savings on gunpowder: you mounted it on a high hilltop; and when the enemy came in view, you simply tilted the barrel down, and let the ball fall on them.
There are some good ideas here, having no empty cartridges is one of them it means no waste and not giving away your location or trail on the battlefield, but not to be, still interesting of course as all of your vids are Ian, keep up the good work,
Its beautifully made however you load it, that design is genius for the time
I'd totally buy one of those in 22LR. Gorgeous!
Now that was interesting - I was aware of the Volcanic system, the Gyrojet and also the gravity feed system of the Girandoni air rifle but this one is new to me. - Good presentation.
I just got this recommanded to me, thanks algorithm. Seriously really cool mechanism !
you have the most interesting guns to show I know that's your thing but I thank you...and I'm sure these wonderful pieces of art go to good homes. You are well spoken and very informative. keep up the good work brother.
