@@ogweeddeadchannel bodeo 1889 is good for aggressive recon too. It kills in 2rds at close range when the mars takes 3 and it fires faster. The only disadvantage is the slow reload. I used it more than the mars
One of the other reasons you'd keep your non-firing hand back on a revolving carbine is the sideblast when firing caused by the cylinder gap. On powerful rounds that pressure can be enough to remove fingers.
no it's not even the 500 magnum doesn't remove fingers if you have your hand on the cylinder - it definitely badly burns your hand and maybe even tear the skin but removing fingers completely is about as believable as a 50 BMG creating a shockwave that kills you if it travels past you without actually making contact
@@knine258 Its been tested on multiple occasions by Mythbusters, hickock, and several other gun youtubers. It can severely damage your hand/fingers if not actually severing fingers. No one was brave enough to use their real hand for some reason.
change the grip angle, change the calibre (from 32 to 45) and add a grip safety the developments from 1902-1911but base everything from the FN1905 design which is a browning design
The designer of the Ruger Mark Series based his design on the Japanese Nambu*. He fixed the flaws and made his pistol arguably the most reliable semiautomatic .22 you can buy.
The judge and governor revolvers are hot garbage. Only purchased by morons or people who want it as a joke. I use to work as a gun dealer. So I'd sell it to them and take their money.
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey S&W makes better guns, but the idea of a revolver shotgun is, at best, gimmicky. There's a story out there of someone who shot a cop with a Judge loaded with .410 shotshells and the pellets were defeated by the cop's skull at a moderate handgun range and he was able to return fire.
During an episode of Lock n Load with R. Lee Ermey, the Gunny showed us the Colt carbine but straight up told the audience that he refused to shoot it.
Concerning the 1855 Colt Side-Hammer revolving carbine: "Cooking off" is when the chamber of a firearm is so hot that a cartridge loaded into it goes off on it's own. This can lead to a belt-fed machine gun "running away" or firing fully automatic against the wishes of the operator. The 2 solutions are to simply allow the weapon to run out the belt or to twist the belt causing the weapon to jam. When 2 or more cylinders of a revolver go off at the same time other is called "chain firing".

the funny thing is about the Mars pistol, if i remember correctly, the inventor was really convinced it was a good pistol. so much so that when the army asked him to make changes to improve it, he outright refused and little change was made to the gun other than tiny things being done by the other members of the workforce.
i think it was the Borchardt C93, the first auto-loading pistol. iirc, the German Army wanted to have that camel-back looking thing removed from his pistol (it was the spring housing), but he dont wanna. so they held onto their Reichsrevolver until the Mauser C96 came along. then Luger got rid of that thing and made some more improvements wich became the Luger P08
The main problem was that is was designed around .45 Mars which had around twice the energy of .45 ACP. The general mechanism itself was OK, and had he settled for a sane cartridge and simplified it may have been a successful gun. It was the refusal to adapt to the market rather than push the market that was the downfall.
The video mentions they don't have great range due to the projectile losing power and they are expensive. In 40K the only ones using Bolters are Astartes and Sororitas, who are very fond of close quarters combat, and the commissars who use their bolters to punish cowardice rather than general combat, so they are used by a tiny fraction of the imperial forces and only up close. I guess GW did their research about gyrojet guns... or it was just a luck.
This could be a full on series with the amount of “horrible” made throughout history. Chauchat, Breda machine guns, first versions of the M-16 to name a few.
Some facts about the Chauchat, American soldiers were given modified versions chambered in .30-06 instead of 8x50mm Rimmed Lebel. And since these two were fairly different calibres (and the French apparently did a terrible job converting them), the American versions jammed alot, giving it the claim of it being unreliable. But the magasine is wonky
@@rokairu0-216 like the OG chauchat is like a marathon runner trying to get a gymnastics medal. The 30-.06 version is trying to do that after being shot in the knee.

Adjacent percussion chambers firing is NOT called "cooking off", the term is a "chain fire" and it's easily avoided by pushing some heavy grease, fat, or suet (now popular is vaseline) into the chambers ahead of the loaded bullet to prevent flashover.
The Gyrojet pistol featured in the Bond film You Only Live Twice. The film makers thought it would be cool to have as a gadget for Bond and his allies to use. They even made a mini rocket projectile to place into the tip of a cigarette, and when lit would fire and stun the enemy. That featured in the film as well, and did actually work.
I like how at the beginning, one dude kills one mammoth with one arrow and right after that 3 guys with spears kill one gazelle. I think the animators mixed something up.

As much as I love it, I’m surprised the Nock gun isn’t on here. It was a 7 barrelled single-shot smoothbore muzzleloader that was intended to be fired from the tops of ships onto the enemy’s top deck. However the gun had far more recoil than it was reckoned to have and would often break the shoulder of all but the strongest men who fired one and was feared by captains as a fire risk to the ships rigging. Only around 600 were made even with a second model that lowered the calibre of ball used (from .50 calibre balls to pistol balls if I recall) to reduce the recoil. These days it’s largely remembered as the gun Sergeant Harper uses in the Sharpe novels and tv show.
It's not the work of a single person. This channel is run by some companies just like 5minute Craft. They hire an army of script writers, voice actors, video editors to churn out these. It's a huge business.
I think the PM63 would be a good choice since the slide could break your teeth if you look down the sights and the foldable stock was only longe enough to maybe protect you from it.
But it's an open bolt (open slide?) design, you would know if you were going to get smacked in the face by the slide reciprocating by your face making contact with it before you fired it. Unless you're implying the recoil would push it backwards where your face would be in danger, to which I would wonder why someone who can't handle the recoil of spicy 380 is using a machine pistol in the first place as opposed to something more suitable.
@@keegenke The thing is, the PM63 Rak was used, among may formations, by army recruits who weren't particularly familiar with firearms. The gun itself in Poland is know by it's nickname "Dentysta" (Dentist). Army service was mandatory during communist reign in Poland and you can see where I'm going with it. A huge chunk of metal moving towards your face wasn't really too safe.
No. Chain fires in percussion revolvers are actually caused by loose fitting caps that allow powder to trickles into the recoil shield, where the flash from a cap firing can set off the leaked powder. The loose fitting caps on the other chambers allow them to chain fire as well. This is an old misconception of why and how chain fires in percussion revolvers happen, but some very good research and live fire testing has been done in recent years that has proved the real cause.
The Colt revolving carbine could easily have been modified using something similar to the Nagant Revolver's sealed cylinder system and a spark shield ahead of the cylinder.
The Nagant used cased ammunition while the 1855 used loose powder. The Nagant system relies on the front of the case being inside the forcing cone to seal it. The way to prevent chain fires with a black powder revolver is to put lubricant grease on the front of the cylinder.
@@patrick8116 I agree, but I was only referring to the Nagant's forward sealing cylinder action, which would have easily transferred to percussion cap ignition, not any of the other features.
The gyrojet was ahead of it's time. If we built it today with miniaturized electronics you could make a gun that could fire semi-homing rounds Also, no recoil. Perfect for space use.
@R41ph3a7b6 I think way they meant was more that the rocket could be more corse correcting, like if a sniper was off with the windage for a shot the rocket could adjust to compensate
Interestingly the Webley Mark VI revolver, production started in the 1870s was good enough to be used after ww2. The M1911 was just so ahead of its time its still in use a lot.

Check out the "Grendel P-10" .380 pistol made by George Kellgren, the founder of Kel-Tec. It was the strangest pistol I've probably ever owned. It didn't have a detachable magazine as it fed by stripper clips. It was super lightweight and recoiled harshly. The only way you could remove the ammo was by unchambering all ten rounds. Still wish I had it despite its flaws.
8:48 that was the same bonus gun they put in Resident Evil Village God I hate that gun so much Edit: if you beat the game under 3 hours you can get that bonus gun I was hoping for a bazooka but they gave me a peas hooter 😭
9:40 It's sad when you realize that a Fictional Universe gave the Gyrojet a Needed Improvement, while also making it a special ops and Officer's weapon not meant to be used by conventional Troops, which would have reduced it's complaint of Ammunition expenses.
Wasn't the gyrojet intended for use in space against cosmonauts? I recall someone saying a normal gun would put you spinning due to the recoil and the lack of gravity, and shooting mini rockets wouldn't. (Maybe it was in Forgotten Weapons)
I dont really think a regular gun has enough recoil to put you spinning (considering the gyrojet was a pistol, só im thinking of a regular pistol for comparison
@@porrod4313 any amount of force would send you spinning in space. Deflating a party balloon in space would be enough to send you spinning without a counterforce.

The hate for the Type 94 is misleading at best. The quality was fine. Japanese late war arms were known to have sacrificed fit and finish, but the actions were perfectly safe and quality. As you stated, the "surrender pistol" myth is just that, a myth. Finally, the danger of the design is greatly exaggerated. The only time when the sear could potentially pose a threat would be if the pistol is out of a holster with the safety off... aka ready to fire. Not to mention, holstering it does not actuate the sear and the sear requires a noticeable amount of pressure on a small point to be tripped. The Type 94s biggest flaw was, as stated, its unreliability. It wasn't unusable, but it was definitely not the best pistol of the war.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this shows up in r/CursedImages. Edit: idk why but the face at 6:40 cracks me up lol. Your animations are getting better with every video!
i barely know anything about guns but i think the rocket gun concept could have a lot of potential as a long range rifle for assasinations, if the rocket propellant is delayed until just before the bullet slows down thus increasing long range accuracy.
Not really. (like Benn454 said) Bullets are pretty small, and you don't have much space for fuel, without weighing it down, or reducing acuracy. Good rifles now can reach out a couple kms - farther than any rocket that size can go (with a fuel that I know of)
to correct a misconception here, most armies of the periods in this video, the exception being the US Army with the Gyrojet, would require their officers to purchase their own sidearms. they weren't "issued" per se, but they were recorded as being in said officer's possession by a quartermaster. The Imperial Japanese Army and Navy had a similar system, and it was entirely up to the officer's discretion to which sidearm they were to purchase and wield. most carried swords as a status symbol and as a weapon, but the Nambu type 14 was also widely liked and used, with some sources stating over 400,000 produced by 1945.

@@imyourdaddy5822 and you have this view point based on????.....the Size is different. The 9x19 is the same type dimensions in the current 9mm glocks as an example. .380s are smaller ....also to make your claim possible, the 9x19 round would have to almost remove half of the gun powder in it. Lol
While I love colt revolvers they weren't the best available at the time that was the Remington. Remingtons had a solid top strap and it was much easier to change cylinders
The Nagant 1895 Revolver. The gun was out dated by the time and the means of reloading (lack of spring and the twist required to work the ejector rod)), the 7.62 Nagant (a cursed cartridge), and abhorrent trigger pull, and unique locking cylinder makes it a very unique weapon in history. I have one, it's fun, but also miserable to shoot.
That's the revolver you can theoretically put a silencer on correct? Might be clunky and outdated but I wouldn't really call it cursed unless it was hilariously unreliable/ posted risk to the weilder.
@@AssaultnVinegar yes you can actually silence the Nagant. it's due to the fact that the chamber moves forward when firing, thus making a gas-tight seal (absolutely essential for silencing). that also make the bullet fly faster since there's less hot gas wasted.
@@user-rg2hk9uz9u don't remember if it has reliability issues. the only issues i remember is that it reloads like an old revolver (eject one by one or replace cyinder), and that apparently it has a heavy trigger pull
@@user-rg2hk9uz9u pretty sure you are confusing it with the nambu. For all its flaws the Nagant is a pretty rock solid/safe design and not really any way for it to go off in the holster unless the hammer was cocked back and you managed to snag the trigger on something but I'm fairly certain, and I'd have to test this with mine to be sure but I don't think the flap holster will close with the hammer cocked back.
In an alternate universe... The Gyrojet gets adopted. They have a carbine version as well, very light. Goes into use with the newly created Seals in Viet Nam. Complaints start coming back, and a few generations of refinement later... the Gyrojet becomes a lightweight streamlined weapon with much greater accuracy, higher velocity, a lower bore axis, and is a fundamentally more reliable firearm. They figure out a way to make the carbine version capable of full auto. And the engineers at NASA contribute a much more efficient solid rocket base propellant, as well as enhancing the venturi exhaust system, leading to substantially greater energy, but with much reduced recoil. The two main benefits being user friendliness and the ability to run more effective cartridges. During the southeast Asian conflict, the Army fielded some 40,000 units, the Air Force some 7000, and the Navy/Marines another 22,000. The Gyrojet quickly became popular both with pilots, and especially Marine regiments. It was a very intuitive pistol to shoot well, even for the shorter statured ARVN units. And the accuracy by its third iteration, in the field by the summer of '69, had improved to the point that a 2" group at fifty yards was not unheard of. The Gyrojet Carbine, now known as the M-17, became one of the most trusted small arms in the U.S. arsenal. While the military continued its use of the M-14 due to it's long range accuracy and ammunition commonalities with organic support LMG's, as well as NATO forces; it was the M-17 that became the go to weapon for engagements under 200yds. That is simply because a three and a half pound, very low recoil, highly accurate, machine carbine with a very manageable 450rpm cyclic rate, using 40rd magazines... turns out to be very useful in combat. By the era of the first Gulf War, the M-17 had become the standard issue individual weapon across the board. Not that more traditional projectiles were not in use, because they are still to this day. But for the basic purposes of an infantry small arm, the Gyrojet concept just gave too many advantages over standard brass cased ammunition. The secret sauce was in the rocket cartridge itself. The Gyrojet pistol, as well as the carbine version, have the ability to use a wide variety of projectile weights and velocities, from small diameter high speed sabot rounds with excellent penetration, to big juggernaut heavy hitters designed to deliver huge amounts of kinetic energy. By the war in Afghanistan, multiple companies were fulfilling contracts to the DoD. They even designed a man portable belt-fed version, the M-299 AWOL, which became the default squad automatic weapon. It is still a highly favored tool amongst the Special Operations community, albeit slightly modified. But the real popularity of the Gyrojet system began in the early 2000's due to its release on the civilian and police markets. Its rise in popularity has never decreased since then, and now perhaps some eleven million units of all variants, have been manufactured over the years. The Gyrojet remains to this day, the most effective innovation in firearms history in the last one hundred years. Used in every arena from hunting Elk, to suppressive fire in an ambush. Perhaps some of the neatest features of the ammunition, aside from the extremely low recoil leading to greater accuracy, is the fact that various compounds in the booster fuel itself offer such properties that tracer and incendiary rounds are commonly available. And given the broad spectrum of cartridge types in use, the Gyrojet lends itself to being a very versatile weapon system. And everyone's favorite part, the fact that all the weapons in the Gyrojet family are so incredibly lightweight. Because as any soldier can tell you, everything else is heavy, there's no reason to add to that burden. The beautiful thing about all of this is an ergonomic, intuitively simple weapon, designed to own the middle distance, and to dominate in close quarters. Whether in pistol form, or as a carbine. But perhaps the most common form are the PDW variants, simply due to the fact that the Gyrojet does not require a long barrel to fully burn its rocket propellant. And so, more compact guns are the norm. What began as a novel idea with a rough start, has matured into an entire industry. And with ever increasing advances in technology, the capabilities of the cartridge will only continue to improve. The Gyrojet changed the way we fight... Truly the modern Kentucky rifle. That almost anyone can shoot well... _________________ TL;DR- ...and poof, just like that, the 5.56x45mm never existed... We Have The Technology. (This could actually be a thing) _______________

So fun fact, the Nambu Type 94 is was actually considered better and more reliable than the type 14 Nambu. Its construction was meant to help ease manufacture, hence the external sear. while not a good pistol it is, to my understanding, better than the type 14.
My friend’s grandfather was a collector of antique guns and American civil war memorabilia. He owned a namboo pistol as well. Whenever he was able to obtain ammo for it he wouldn’t shoot by hand or allow anyone else to either. He had made custom jig that used a small carpenters clamp attached to a saw horse. There was a wooden toggle he filed to size, attached to a string to pull the trigger. Even when lined up directly at the target that was usually a can, the pistol rarely hit the target. Crazy to think an entire military was issued such a weapon.
While the Gyrojet handgun was never adopted by the US military, it did see very limited usage by MACV SOG troops during the Vietnam War. There is at least one picture out there of a guy with one.

@@eradicatormkivgaming Most full caliber battle rifles aren't great as fully automatic weapons. Soilders carrying FALs,G3s and M14s were basically told to never use the gun in full auto,was just far too hard to control and would just lead to wasted ammunition.
The problem with revolving rifles was that the tech for them was too advanced in one area and not advanced enough in the other. In a battle where a line infantryman would fire off perhaps 30 rounds total, you wouldn't have to worry about heat because of the reloading procedure was so long. One of the great things about cased ammo is that the brass/steel shell retains the heat and is either ejected like semiautos or just dumped like revolvers. All those benefits are totally lacking with percusion/paper cartridge. While I would not take my modern Judge to war as my first choice, I can see how it would have been a real game changer had brass cartridges been adopted sooner.
@@Deridus With old revolvers, overheat wasn't really as much of an issue, but any part of your hand or arm that was forward of the cylinder gap would get sprayed with hot gas and smoke, a problem that still exists today, hence why revolver rifles aren't common. Also chainfire was a problem with old revolvers before metallic cartridges were implemented, and you definitely don't want your hand in front of a chain firing cylinder.
@@kievbutcher Funny thing is, I once designed a firearm based off of the defunct Metal Storm technology that used a revolving internal magazine. I actually used a broken nerfgun as the furniture because I didn't feel like building anything beyond the firing mechanism. Been wanting to go back and revisit the project, but my knoledge involving chemistry/explosives is very limited. Conventional firearms are mostly boring to me unless I'm at a range...
Type 94, the safety "issue" isn't really a thing since the manual safety blocks the sear bar, 94 is also more compact, semi auto, faster loading and holds one more round if you count the +1 in the chamber.
