History of WWI Primer 091: Austro-Hungarian Gasser 1870 Documentary 

eFfiCiEnCy!

1 Step guide to defeating german cavalry: take their stick!

@@Nukle0n Step 2: Have a Battalion take their Stick, Step 3: Form Battalion of Sticks into a cluster shaped like a Square with their Pointy Sticks facing outwards in all directions like a hedge, Step 4: Hide Musketeers in the hedge of Pointy Sticks to shoot from. Step 5: Pray that their Cavalry don't have supporting Infantry or Artillery, or enough numbers to simply harry one side of the Square at a time with Pistols. Step 6: Continue Artillery, Ammo, Food, and Numbers to both besiege their Fortified City, Repulse any enemy Relief attempts, and compensate for Wastage. Step 7, Do this to all of their Cities, Step 8: Rejoice! For In just 5 Years, You've Conquered an area the size of Malta at the cost of a mere 26,000,000 Thalers, and 32,000 Men, without losing all of your rightful gains in a peace deal written with the consent of the rest of Europe like the last 4 attempts! :)

From my limited understanding, the 1870 Gasser revolver remained popular with officers in particular, as they normally wouldn't carry rifles, and therefore saw the use in having a very strong revolver that can still punch hard at somewhat longer distances. Having a heavier bullet can also be advantageous if you're fighting in windy conditions, like the Alps definitely are, though of course I doubt that was their main issue.

@@PershingDragoon and Austrian storm troopers had it as well

That's epic! Keep looking! Bring a metal detector that can find metals other than steel/iron.

*_Did you take it for yourself to renovate or donate it to the Meuseum. Either works._*

Don’t feel bad for not owning one, they’re $2500-3000 on average.

Sounds like the next chapter to that song "cows with guns". Run boy run lol

I wonder how many don't know that a horse with a knife was the last thing that many soldiers ever saw.

Link please, Ben 😄

Damn, now that my dog has read this he complains about me giving him only a .38! Looks like I have to buy him a .357 too.

My dog told me that "guns and knives are for pussies", she always brings fists to gunfights

So, they received cast steel and forged the barrel and working bits out of that (where not mentioned being iron)? I will have to research more so I can understand the matrices and all that out of recasting steel vs. recasting steel or forging out of a solid block of existing cast steel would be. Thanks for igniting an interest in researching methods of the period, I sincerely appreciate it and will learn something undoubtedly.

And a heart!?!!!! Mr Beauregard I do declare I'm gettin the vapors!

I sigh in perpetuity.

My sighs more of a "I was sick of being killed with guns that didn't make it past that prototype phase" lol.

I'm just full of regret from being drunk as hell. Glad the comments section suffers from the same degree of alcoholism I do

@@tangero3462 sheesh bro

Not drunk yet, but determined to be working on it. .. soon.

With the amount of smoke that thing throws out you'll have a portable smoke screen to hide in

T-shirt double pack with "i would take this if a horse came for me with a knife..." about the smoke: Othias mentioned that the plume of smoke would have been less and during it's heyday everything was black powder. Additionally if there's enough wind, how long does the smoke stay where you are? If you are up in the mountains (where for example the WW1 italian front was,) you almost can't find any place at any time without a good amount of wind. And if you take the k.u.k. Navy: Your position is already pretty defined by the ship you are on board so not much camo or hiding possible.

@keith moore hand canon is definitely the term for it lol. Othias looks gangsta as with his massive gat lol.

Happy New Year!

In those part of Europe, we call Balkan, this big revolvers had been seen as a ,manly' weapon.

I like to think that at that point for some it was the difference between choosing a gun and choosing a sharp stick.....and a rock....that may or may not have been shared by the whole platoon.

previous to 1850 the Gulden was at 13,40€

Thanks for doing the work to put it in perspective.

It be like that

Happy New Year. Glad to have you!

1879 Reichsrevolver maybe?

@@Nukle0n Looks like it was "Montenegrin" of some kind, but really more like a Francote style revolver. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tID2i-BPJvI.html

Until the French gign 357

@@codyjackalope8464 Funny enough I was talking to a Gendarme officer in Normandy a few years back, admiring HER gun, she said she loved the .357, the mere fact it was there, stopped a lot of trouble.

Didn't know that, but seems to be a legitimate explanation. I know we can see evidence in Pompei that almost all turns as designed by street planners of the day were right-turns, but I'm not sure exactly why, but it did carve into the stone the signs. Makes sense either way for the screws to be designed around turns so you don't unthread them and I live in Utah, where we have wide streets in the old downtown as a result of them being designed around the idea of horse drawn carriages being capable of making u-turns upon them with wide berth.

Was also common on motor vehicles for many years. You had to remeber which nuts went in your left pocket and which in your right if you took of more than one wheel at a time. .

Most fans, circular saws and gas fuel fittings are left handed threads too.

The different thread pattern is still in use with the pedals of bicycles.

@@Player_Review yes the old roads are often 60 ft. or wider, that way freight wagons could turn around.

I'd love to have one, preferably a modern reproduction, that way I don't have to feel bad about wanting to shoot it.

I think Mark may have uploaded some on Anvil where he's taken existing cases and cut them down for the correct headspacing etc and loads for c&rsenal, but could be incorrect as I can't remember which vid it was (if there even was one) and I think it may have just been conversation filler devoid of the actual video. Several folks on the crew may be capable of making the ammo. Anywho, I think more reference to the ammo sourcing _probably_ wouldn't hurt. They usually manage pretty great groupings with Mae's skill and the quality of the firearms/ammo, so whatever they're doing, I am confident they're doing it right. Would love to see info on ammo used on each range example for reference, including the bullet grain and gunpowder measurements. Othais seems to always reference some difference when the firearm used isn't necessarily in the same caliber of the most common gauge used by the military.

Midway usa has some videos you would like

Every time your favorite gets delayed, the chances of better info, better video, and better audio goes up!

@@Candrsenal You're absolutely right, this episode was fantastic! I've yet to watch a C&Rsenal video I haven't enjoyed thoroughly!

Indeed. So glad they all put in the hours to help make history more rich.

Jack Galati Probably a Montenegrin variant of some sort.

Ron Lynquist yes

Don't get complacent! They have one on the bottom of each foot if shod!

Jeff Carver as a reloader,that has happened to me for over 40 years, I feel your pain

@@boriscook6817 I appreciate your understanding there...wish I understood powder loads better so I could make decent rounds...someday 😁

While I'm not sure there are surviving examples of all of them, I'd like to see the Spanish Civil War covered with some of its oddities: the wz.28 (a BAR in 7.92mm Mauser), the 9mm Largo Astras and Bergmanns and Campo Giro, the Naranjero (MP28 in 9mm Largo), the Tigre (a clone of the Winchester 1892 manufactured into the late 30s)...it was almost as bad as WWI with regards to obsolete oddballs seeing active service.
