@Chilly_Billy 3 года назад

Fosbery was about a decade late in his design. Had the guns existed in the early- to mid-1890's, they would've been superior to every true automatic in existence at the time.

@88porpoise 3 года назад

I don’t see it being more than a very niche product at any time. The additional complication and cost along with the disadvantages of such an external action are a lot for the fairly minor benefit over a decently designed DA/SA revolver. While always having a SA trigger pull immediately is an advantage, I suspect it really wasn’t a big deal in practice. If you have time to take careful aim to really benefit from the single action you probably can thumb back the hammer without much issue. If you don’t have time to thumb back the hammer, it is probably a brown pants moment and the accuracy benefit of single action probably isn’t a major concern. Certainly far less of a concern than the fatal consequence of it failing to cycle properly.

@chrismc410 3 года назад

Not really. By 1896, Mauser's C96 came out and proved not only a semiautomatic pistol was possible but could be simplified and much more easily mass-produced and far more reliable than the Borschardt C93 from three years earlier. One Winston Churchill and others in the Boer Wars showed what the C96 could do in actual combat. With those things as factors, the Webley-Fosbery was only ever going to be a compromise between the traditional revolver user and the up and coming semiautomatic pistol for those who won't give up the revolver but want the semiautomatic speed.

@planescaped 3 года назад

Maybe 2 decades... One of those neat/great ideas that came too late. Reminds me of Mannlicher in that regard. Even then it was never going to be a game changer like auto loaders were. Just a good revolver. Would've been great for the old west and for some classic banditry, little less so in a large scale battle.

@corditechewer 3 года назад

Interestingly enough they did still get it wrong, in the original. From Wiki: Sam Spade then identifies the gun as a "Webley-Fosbery". However, Bogart says it's a "45 caliber, 8 shot," which is not correct because it would have to be a .38 caliber to be 8 shots. The 45 caliber was only 6 shots. In the original book, Sam Spade refers to it as a "Thirty-eight, eight shot.", so the script writer changed it, wrongly, from the original (believing Hammett had made a mistake, and it must be a .45 automatic, like those carried by Elisha Cook's character in the movie.)

We already got the 1911, Episode 128. More seriously, it is coming (he had a planned trip to get his hands on some rare versions in the spring but then 2020 happened and canned that) but don’t hold your breath. Othais has said that he doesn’t want to just rehash what has already been done in 50,000 RU-vid videos on the M1911 already. So that episode (or series thereof) is likely to need a lot of work and time to make (such as getting his hands on early developmental models or getting good primary data not well known). Plus while the US history is quite well documented, there are also Russian, French, and British usage in WWI (at least) hopefully even getting his hands on a .455 Auto version.

There is a story recorded by Lord Alan Brooke, who became Chief of the Imperial General Staff in WW2. He visited Vimy Ridge on the western front where Churchill, in semi disgrace after Gallipoli, had taken up command of an infantry battalion. Churchill fond of gadgets (he had owned a C96, and later some sort of Colt automatic) was demonstrating a 'rather complicated automatic revolver' which then chain/slam fired. Churchill danced around holding it at the end of its lanyard much to the mirth of Alan Brooke and nearby troops. He was not best pleased. Always wondered, was this a Fosbery, or was it an automatic of some sort, 'revolver' being a term used in some British circles for any sort of pistol. Finally of course, the Fosbery was resuscitated by the Pakistan Hunting and Sporting Arms Development Company in Peshewar a few years back. Made in .455 and 38. Why they chose this handgun is unknown, unless it was to demonstrate their engineering skill. They also made a reproduction of the Tokarev TT33, again uncertain why given its availability as surplus. Sadly the new Fosbery had about as much success as the Webley original. I have one of the .455 guns, which seems very nicely made.

As an Example ,in the Great War the Army Service Corp A.S.C. provided logistics (Known at the time after a comic strip carechter as Alley Sloopers Cavalry) following the war the Corp was recognised by Royal Warrant and became the Royal Army Service Corp (And the nickname changed to Run Away Someones Coming) Currently known as The Royal Logistic Corp. A current British Army example of Royal patronage is the Princess of Wales own Regiment P.W.R. (known after the late Princess Diana, as Di's Darlings)

Thank you for this awesome history of my great-Grampa…George Vincent Fosbery… my name being George Fosbery.

Of note, there is apparently some record for speedshooting and loading with this gun and a speedloader. Wikipedia mentions it, but I have heard about it for like 20 years, since I first heard about them as a teenager.

I'll admit, I'm glad I found this series. It's so detailed and informative, plus with Othai's narration and commentary make it really easy to watch.

People call Ian gun Jesus (because of his long hair, his skin tone doesn't look middle eastern). I watched his video of the Webley Fosbery. It's good, but if he is Jesus, then you are god, Ian has knowledge, a smart human can gain, before the 30th birthday, you on the other hand, seem to have all the knowledge that ever existed.
