Testing The Gun That Killed Abraham Lincoln 

Firsn't

Hello

np

Uh

Its a very interesting piece of history:)

Attention to detail.

Personally I'm unsatisfied, he didn't jump over the railings and break his ankle.

​@picklesenate9681 It was a surprise attack. So unless he was neo and doged it, there was no way to react to that.

@@slushylemming1321he’s talking about Booth. Abe was busy, presumably moaning on the floor…

@@slushylemming1321 he aint talking about the lincon my drilla

I thought this was a historically correct representation of how they conducted autopsy back then.

@@Tony.795 yep. Ya peel that sombitch like an apple and tear into it like it's a baked chicken and you haven't eaten in two days.

@@Nomed38 😂😂

I'm actually an autopsy tech, and that's actually pretty close to correct. Except, you know, whacking it on the table.

19th? How about more like 10th.

CRAZY

a play to die for

These jokes are killing me

🤣😭😭🤣🤣

I was gonna comment this, but you got me. But yeah, that's a fun detail.

I mean it does look good on display.

Now that's proper premeditation

That’s school-shooter level petty-ness

Thats a sam o nella reference

There was probably a split second of Abe Lincoln going “What the hell was that- oh, fu-“ and then having his skull ventilated by a .45.

@@josephmontanaro2350 he did that one already.

or a good actor trying to not look like a psycho...hmmm

He has his seconds of compassion.

He also broke his leg during the jump and limped away

True. Bullet path was measured with a small rod probe while Lincoln was still alive. The bullet pathway was approx eight inches, and as you said, the ball was felt behind the right eye.

Landed after jumping down? I was always taught he landed BEFORE jumping down. Hm. 🤔

It is a common historical misconception that he said "sic semper tyrannis" this is apocryphal. What Booth actually said was: *"Dominas et Quirites, eum consecuti sumus."*

Yall might not believe me but im related to dr mud the one that healed the assassin

Didn't know they used condoms

So they say, but was he really alive? He never regained consciousness, so for all intent and purpose he died when he was shot, it just took time for the heart to shut down. 😳

@@garylampkin4288 Well today we obviously could say for sure, since we can measure if brainwaves still exist or not. But you also have to keep in mind. People in way worse times medically survived way worse and regained some form of a normal life. Injuries we instantly call out as fatal.

Lol shinzo abe

I keep hearing this everywhere all of a sudden Can someone please fill me in? Lmao

I suspect that was just a story, because the bullet was mentioned in the autopsy. The bullet is in a museum

It was during the autopsy

@@mr.mister2411 cant recreate that with guns though

I mean it did light the powder keg that was Europe which started the first world war. The first world war had helped advance medical science by a decent amount. Lead to the banning of chem weapons. Then lead to wwii, which lead to even more advances in medical science… perhaps one of the good things about war is that war drives the advancement of technology and the medical field.

​@@dylandepetro4187i wish you werent right

That is? ;) Look up the Puckle Gun. The Stopler revolver isn't too bad either.

Not really there was lever action and Gatlin guns in the civil war

Or how about the original maxim designed before 1900

While having nothing to do with firearms an interesting Historical tidbit is that Cleaopatra was alive closer to our currwent time than the building of the Pyramids was to hers,

@chandllerburse737XD

Wasn't there a story that he also saved Lincoln's son? He'd fallen between the train and the station wall and Edwin happened to be there and pull him up. Allegedly.

​@@spartansquid5931 yes

God loves you all! The Father sent the Son to die for you and your sins so that you could experience freedom to the fullest! Believe in Christ's death and resurrection (which sealed the work done on the cross) for your salvation and the forgiveness of sins! Amen

Can't wait for his statue to get torn down and replaced with a black penis

@@spartansquid5931 How sad could it be, to be in his shoes? You could be lauded for your acting performances, and for being the one to heroically save someone, but your life would get stained by what your brother has done to the U.S President. That's gotta be so sad.

Horrible Histories said it, so it is most likely true

Not quite, stuck his finger in to clear a clot and relieve pressure on Lincoln's brain.

It wasn't lincoln but another president, who the surgeon accidently killed due to sepsis after he shoved his finger in the bullet wound of the unconscious, but alive, president.

I mean for the standards of that time they were doctors.

Which is what actually kill him.

If you're interested, the mythbusters actually did that one a while back. There were some issues with their test, and they didn't replicate Hathcock's shot exactly, but they did eventually conclude that it was possible.

Can be done, it's just incredibly unlikely.

You need three conditions for that to happen: 1. Aim for the scope and hit it or luckily hit it 2. Have the shooter aim straight at you as well, at the same elevation or negligible elevation difference. 3. Be faster at pulling the trigger than the guy looking towards you and ready to do you in. It can happen , just very unlikely in the chaos of the warzone. One in a lifetime chance.

“Other than that mrs Lincoln, how was the play?”

@@randomyoutubecommentersecu7639 a couple more from the Mythbusters attempt. You need an older scope with bigger internal lenses and a steel cored AP bullet. Modern scopes are tight enough inside that they'll stop a standard FMJ ball, you need a sub caliber steel to get all the way through.

Why bout the best thing Boothe ever did even the theater agreed and kept his gat

I concur

Did they also find a bloody condom lodged in his head?

In what ways

@@epicassassin8502 From what I remember, they poked around in his head trying to get the bullet out.

@@epicassassin8502they probably both had no clue what they were doing😅

In the sense that they bashed his head against the table, took out his brain and kneeded it around like a playdough, then yanked the rest of his skull along with his spine out and roared in victory as they held the trophy in the air.

“It takes more that that to kill a bull moose. Fortunately I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech, and there is a bullet-there is where the bullet went through-and it probably saved me from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best.” *Proceeds to speak for 84 minutes unaided.*

Giving a speech after being shot

I literally hate him as a president, but damn, I admire him as a man. The man lived a bad ass life.

@@curtisbrayfield7707 he had his merits in office. Not many, I grant you, but you're right. Aside from politics he was an absolute legend.

Not only did the bullet not kill him, it stayed inside him until his dying days: doctors thought removing it would be more dangerous than leaving it. Teddy was such a beast.

The beautiful balls on this man.. Spectacular ❤️

Thanks to "Manscaped" you too can have balls like Brandon

I was looking to see if someone had already mentioned that, because I was thinking the exact same thing.

yes Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand was thinking same thing

and fill up with a cheese sandwich.

Sure, if you want to give Brandon brain damage. Dumbest assassins ever. Only by sheer dumb luck did they manage to get the job done.

​@@Orik2019 I don't think Arch-Fuke Franz Ferdinand was thinking ANYTHING at that time

in less it keeps going . . .

A little dramatic flair if you will. However, being charged by bayonet I guess the delay could be scary

I love the hang fire it adds a little bit of comedic affect

It's actually called "lock time" in reference to the amount of time from when you pull the trigger which releases the "lock" of the weapon (where the phrase lock, stock, and barrel come from) to when the powder is actually ignited

Flintlocks are slower sidelock like this quicker and the c&b revolver has almost no delay

i mean, its on a competitive level with 38 acp

@@just9911 yeah. Dictators are built different. Jackass deserved it for murdering over 300 New Yorkers with his private army.

People were just built different in the 1800s. Phineas Gage had a tamping iron go in his eye socket and through his brain, he lived for a couple years after that

I mean. He was alive, but I’m sure mentally, he was already pretty much gone

@@jacksonsmiler8028 is that how he met Ferb?

They did better than Kennedy's doctors did ! Lincoln still had better cognitive abilities after being shot in the head than Biden does even after his physical exam that didn't test for mental health issues.

Was that Lincoln? I know that was true for Garfield

@@Xadius nah with garfield they finger-fucked the bullet hole with their dirty fingers. some argue the bullet didn't kill but the infection from said finger-fucking did. ... I think the metal detector thing is true for Garfield, but the dummies had him laying on a bed with metal bedsprings, which led to said finger fucking

@@Xadius You are right it was Garfield

I’ve heard if they would have just left it he might have survived rather then all the digging around they did to look for it. Since back then the mentally was like if there’s a bullet in you it has to come out or you will die unlike today

Ever since I was a kid whenever I would watch Western shows and the antiques road show I have always loved seeing the really cool little single and double barreled dairy juice that you guys have in the States. at least the American version Because in the Canadian version Of that show, they do not show firearms.. And if they did I've never once seen an episode with one featured at any point. even though there are an extremely large amount of us who are well armed and Hunting things like black bears and grouse have been common here since 1608 When it finally had started to build permanent settlements even though at the time it was still referred to as "New France". Surprisingly even to me, there are quite a few firearms Which cannot be imported legally or brought or purchased in the United States that can in fact be legally purchased and imported into Canada. which I always use to annoy my American buddies when they rip on Canada and are extremely insane gun laws...Which of course are admittedly absolutely insane especially When it comes to all things regarding self defense...

@@Curtis.Carpenter that is actually pretty interesting!

thats not gun .....that hanheld cannon........its canon

​@@lexyshannon9428 what you actually wanted to say: "holy shit shut the hell up and get a life instead of writing a boring paragraph"

@@Curtis.Carpentera couple Norincos used to be legal in Canada but illegal in US, because they were Chinese rip-offs and violated US design laws. However those have since been listed as Prohibited by Treaudu. Also some short factory shotguns are legal here like the Dominion Arms Grizzly 12ga with a 8.5” barrel

Wonder what that timeline looks like…

@@DutchTraveler recreating the assassination of John Wilkes Booth

@@landonpeacock9539 “Today will be recreating the famous presidential RKO, where Abraham Lincoln threw his would-be assassin John Wilkes Booth from the upper balcony he occupied in the Ford theater.”

Booth had a large blade knife in his other hand so Lincoln would have gotten slashed/stabbed at a minimum. Like Major Rathbone actually did.

Plus Lincoln was like 190 something cm tall, the tallest American president to this day, in a time when most people were fairly short by today's standards. So ol' JWB was getting pummelled if that gun didn't work.

How did the derringer get behind his eye? 🤔

@@jmt8706official bullets especially the balls people shot back in those days, bounce off of bones and go in random directions, it’s one of the many reasons police officers are trained to aim center mass (the chest)

@@dawsynlarson696 r/whooosh

Lincoln, and stewed turd should have been shot in 1861. Tyrants to the core

One question just occurred to me watching this and maybe you've heard it discussed. The assassination was one part of the conspiracy so was not spur of the moment. It was planned so why would Booth use a derringer why not a Colt Army for example. I have grave doubts there were metal detectors at Fords Theater that night and Booth was well known there being a famous actor so bringing in a larger revolver would not be a problem. Had the derringer gone click instead of Boom then history would be vastly different. I saw on here,You Tube, an old 1950s episode of the tv show "I've Got a Secret" The guest on there had a secret the panel had to guess. His secret was that he was at Fords Theater the night of the assassination although he was about 4 years old then. Dont know if you have seen it but there is a photograph strongly believed to be Lincoln taken on his death bed. While photographers were barred there was a short time frame when a photograph was possible. Also the photograph shows great swelling around the right eye.

Actually his wife really wanted to see the play that is why he went. His secretary told him not to go, and Kennedys secretary told him not to go to Dallas

@@b.g.taylor3561 oh dam gottta get my information right lol

So he basically had a premonition not to go but he still went

@@melu0o an even crazier thing is, when his servant testified, Lincoln usually says “Goodnight” when he leaves the house. Lincoln said “Goodbye” the night he died.

Imagine being his friends/family in the afterlife lol "Bro, we sent you the dream to warn you and you still went?!?!"

Gavrillio princep is arguably the most influential person of the 20th century.

WW1 literally shaped the entirety of the century and has completely changed world dynamics forever.

WWI would have happened anyway. Everyone was looking for a excuse, and Ferdinand happened to be the most convenient one.

I was just about to comment this. Fuck yes

I am putting this right here in the case if Brandon doesn't do his research correctly The gun used for Franz Ferdinand's killing was a FN 1910, *not* a 1900 !

Antique not C&R. C&R guns are still classified as firearms, antiques are not

i am still gonna download the fuck out of this video because last time i didn't get to archive that one pipe gun video

Actually, Lincoln probably didn't hear the cap, as Booth had specifically time things. He waited for a specific line in the play that always got loud laughter from the audience. Many people in the audience didn't even here the shot clearly enough to realize it wasn't part of the play.

@@suebecker9972 source : my gpa

mostly correct, except people in audience down and away from vip area were not good reps for what was heard by lincoln. per cap igniting, lincoln totally surprised during a laughter break had a next to zero inclination. actual blast sound, zero, nada instant unconucious state. @@suebecker9972

@@mrgirth6510Nope, he’s right John Booth carefully planned the timing of the gunshot to coincide with a specific line in the play “Our American Cousin” that always elicited loud laughter from the audience. The strategic timing was intended to mask the sound of the gunshot and create confusion among the theatergoers. So many people even their self didn’t hear the gunshot..
