History of WWI Primer 035: French Remington Rolling Block Documentary 

beautiful

You had the Gewer 98 and the Lee Enfield on the battle field at the same time as this weapon. It would seriously suck to be stuck with the rolling block.

ALL SERIOUS FOREVER

All you're missing is a guy and his robots adding their 2 cents in the front row of all your videos.

PBRStreetGang I took care of that with a box of Hamdingers.

Ha!

Except for the fact that Kermit the frog isn't a rebel.

We don't do that any more... we just have college football games to do that now... Roll Tide. * A chorus of people yelling "Boo" as another Southern state is hated for trampling more Yankees in championship game. * "Oh! Oh my! Your sourness towards me has helped me make the tastiest lemon pie. *I laugh like a jerk and a internet troll * Haha! Have a nice day.

so easy.

The problem is not with what he called the Late Unpleasantness, but that so many danmnyankees still hate the South.

They dont call it the war of northern aggression for nothing *ignore the surcumstances of the first shots being fired

@@gregb6469 you sure about that? Ive only seen alot of southerners bitter about losing. Most of us up north never even think about the civil war as its not so ingrained into our culture

dual. although they were dueling with themself quite a bit.

@@Strawberry92fs Quadruple ass kicked?

I liked it when they were mismanaged with good guns.

R-51 because why not make shit copy of the C-9 and charge 10 times more for it.

It looks like a bunch of mismatched Remington/DPMS/Bushmaster ARs without bolts or LPKs in the back of a CDNN catalog.

@Frost Arctica Smurf, and Papa Smurf actually had a brown beard in flashbacks to his youth in the cartoon.

"mistmanaged"

Glad to hear!

More Like alternate universes/times lines :P and some did go to the Mars for that whole John Cater thing :p

Yes. Didn't you see that scene in Star Wars where they were using Remingtons? lol

One small step for man one giant bullet in a alien.

Space Force Rolling Blocks!

@@zaqzilla1 if stormtroopers had them they would have been better shots. They can't hit anything with their blasters.....

Er, range time w/ a Rolling Block I mean. Sorry, that came out a little wrong. BTW, the French generals were big on "L'esprit" & felt that the soldiers just needed to get a couple rounds off & close w/ the enemy w/ their bayonets [leading to the huge losses the French suffered early in the war, trying to assault German machine gun positions on foot. The Germans of course, obliged the stupidity of the French generalship by teaching the French soldiers how to dance the Spandau Ballet...] So anyway, the French probably considered their guards to be extremely well armed with the RB, since they still considered the primary purpose of the rifle was the pointy bit attached to the end of the barrel... ::)

rofl

are you doing these out of order?!

No, Sir (or ma'am, if that's Mae). I'm watching them in the order they display on your uploads page!

good?

Hostile Probably the small hands, but awesome pun!

Thanks!

It might be tongue-in-cheek these days, but it's still pretty damn distasteful if said without further context.

Calm down

Glad to hear

That's an interesting comment. Nowadays, neither "side" in the Gun Wars speaks much to how guns used to be seen in America, as tools. Every rural family had a gun, maybe 2, and they were typically single-shot rifles and shotguns. They were meant for snakes, rodents, and like you said, food on the table. And sure, home defense, but that was more an afterthought or "given". Good comment.

Nothing worse than 20 minutes of talking and nothing being said!

Good to hear!

But y?

I'm working through the series, waiting for the episode when she hits him.

Was that "idiot" coment really nessesary?She sure impresses me with her knowledge and ability to shoot.Give respect where respect is due.

@@ObsydianShade Some of them have integral bayonets... the carbines are short enough too.

@@ObsydianShade Or at least a butt stroke to the forehead!

How did it go?

It went Great! I can't wait for more!

dang...

@@Candrsenalyup missed opportunity

do it

Great video. My 2 favorite rifles are my Uberti 357 Baby Carbine & my Pedersoli 44-40 Carbine both are replica rolling blocks. I love the simplicity.

Maybe? We did sorta jack it.

If you could put a gif on a shirt, then I would want to have 21:55 on it.

C&Rsenal futurama?

Classic.

right into the ground

The sound effects made me lol

It's called the "Giddy Skittle" apparently.

C&Rsenal apparently

It was only because they were so desperate for arms and the Remingtons were cheap .Not knocking the rolling block design , but it was totally outclassed by the bolt actions used by all the major powers at that time.

Some of the responses may also be tongue in cheek.

Glad you enjoyed it!

thanks!

I KNOW NOTHING, STOP LOOKING AT ME.

The beauty is in it's rugged simplicity .

no i luv u

neat

Um, what does losing it has to do with the name of the war? It could also be called a War of secession. Same with WW1 having multiple names (Great war, War to end wars and World war)

Cripes Matt Hall, lighten up....Neither one of us was there....Even though, by virtue of my date of birth, I come closer to it than I suspect you do. Attila Rischt, you are correct, if one were to take the time to research JUST what ANY war was/is called, many if not all, can be and often are identified by various names depending on what part of the world a writer or speaker is/was from and/or generation.

Magni56, the true, main reason, for the war was taxation of imports and exports from the South and the withholding of manufacturing and technological advances from the South (the cotton gin, and machines that could pick cotton faster and more efficiently than any humans could hope to on their best day are good examples)....Pretty much what the American Revolution was all about only the "kings" of the day controlled the railroads, steel production, etc. and wanted to keep those industries under their control at all costs. Please, in the future, take the time and effort to research actual historical records before making comments that are so easily refuted by facts. By the way, I found it interesting, and more than a bit disturbing, to discover that more people of color were lynched in New York City during the war than at any time in any part of the South in the decades following the war...Mainly because New Yorkers did not support "Mr. Lincoln's War" as it was frequently referred to at the time in the Northern press. So, in the end, the war might be best referred to today as the War of Northern Greed. and I also find it fascinating that more slaves were brought to these shores by ships and sea captains from Northern states and delivered to Northern ports than to those in the South...And then there were the rather large number of slaves held in bondage in the North even after they were supposedly "freed" by Lincoln . In addition, most of todays clueless products of our failed education system, are unaware that the Constitution of the Confederate States of America, unlike the Constitution of the United States of America as it was worded at the time, specifically outlawed slavery. I find that interesting on several levels. You should also be aware of the fact that ONLY those slaves held in "free" states were actually freed by Lincoln and then only in the hopes that freed slaves would flock to enlist in the Union Army....Which many did only to be treated as second or even third class soldiers and used as "cannon fodder" by their Union Army leaders whenever the "need" arose. Such treatment of men of color who volunteered for service continued unabated until the late 1940s and only "ended" then upon the direct orders of President Truman. All of the above, and much more, is easily located and researched for one's self at many of the larger libraries both public and university as well as many brick and mortar book stores with decent sized U.S. history sections.

sorry

It's pretty timeless

!1

"engagement"

I believe they are in South Carolina, so it makes a certain amount of sense. i prefer the (hopefully) neutral 'War between states.'

Sleep is for the week, and it's Tuesday morning so go the hell to bed.

Mike Edge knock knock open up the door, it's Tuesday morning again one month later. go the hell to bed god fucking Damn!

You can sleep when you're dead.

Especially when.... War Were Declared!!!!!

Joe Arnold it's a make America great again hat

Yes, he should wear a black hat given that now and henceforth red hats are the trademark of idiots.

@@deltavee2 You resemble that remark!

@@geraldmahle9833 Indeed I do. It's true even more so now than it was 8 months ago. Fasten your seat belt, this ain't over yet!

Good to hear!

I made the pickatures nice.

Pretty much the only reason anyone says it at this point.

Or a student of history.

or who cares he's from the south let him call it what he likes

it's a hick name with obvious political connotations mostly used by assorted nutters and KKK members. and it's not even exactly accurate either

Given his sense of humour, I'd say he's on the wind-up. Mission accomplished.

right?

I care about politics at the moment. Absolutely can't let Hitlery appoint the next SCJ replacement(s). So it's not so much voting for The Donald as voting against someone known to be a despicable, spiteful harridan. [What a former girlfriend referred to as "a waste of oxygen."] But yeah, I've got another week til election day, so while I wait, I can get in a lot of enjoyable vids on old guns! :-D

This was an apolitical comment, I'd appreciate it if you keep it that way

Bruciando >:(

hvymtal I do, when if anyone didn't care about politics nobody would be able to own these

That would require us to be organized enough to know what we're doing next.

Yes, it's working.

Is this gun is used the smokeless power cartage?

이동연 both black powder and later smokeless

Oh I see

C&Rsenal So is this rifle's barrel is the smokeless power barrel?

good!

TO THE COMMENTS

You guys are not coping with change well

+C&Rsenal Because it's gone from subdued to the most attention catching thing on screen.

I draw the line on different color hats.

Should have been a hunter green hat as a nod to Remington...

*bore

C&Rsenal Haha, must be that thick southern accent (or my damn ears).

We're slowly getting them in place.

The one with the aluminum cover?

Yes. A real thing of beauty. So much fun to shoot. I have some recordings of me shooting it, I'll see if I can find them. This was mine: imgur.com/a/MnCSY

Mostly cursing. We have a mumble server so just do that to get the full experience.

I dunno, the 7mm doesn't seem to be doing it.

Z M No, but there should be. The M1903 and Krag-Jorgenson need their own episodes as well.

Colt M4A1 Agreed.

Colt M4A1 I agree with you

Thanks!

Oh the wall is all WWI and there is no 1891 up there I am afraid

Then what's above your 88 carbine? That's no Belgian 89 or Ottoman 90, right? I thought only Argentine had the short handguard.

michael sexton It definitely is an Ottoman 1890
