The Obrez, Mosin Nagant Pistol that is the most cursed of all guns 

"Suspect is armed with a personal statement on rugged minimalism"

"Let's see how a bullet looks fired through a regular Mosin." Proceeds to pull out a scoped meth lab.

The Obrez is one of those guns you could modify and use as a prop in a Star Wars movie and people seeing it in said movie would be thinking "that blaster pistol isn't based on anything irl."

It’s funny how the geared up Mosin with the rails and crap looks more ridiculous than the pistol version

I love how the “regular” Mosin has a nice clean sound when fired but the Obrez makes the sound become bass boosted.

Glad it got to you safely! Enjoy, and congrats on 2 Million 😘

Seeing the shock wave followed by the fire rings in the opening cinematic is actually insane, it's cooler than any game trailer or movie scene in the last 5 or so years. Edit: that whole opening is better than any movie or videogame cinematic I can recall, especially the shots where the camera is past the barrel and the whole thing shakes. Cant get enough of that, we need to see this in super-slow-mo

the way the muzzle flash forms briefly forms a vortex/barrel at 1:50 is so cool looking. i would love to see that filmed with a super high speed camera

Fireball is also a feature, it is effectively flash bang, discombobulating the target(and the operator), meaning the bullet is in an un-observed state, allowing it fire the two projectiles instead of the single projectile, truly ahead of its time.

The ultimate recce weapon: short so it's easy to maneuver. Short barrel for short range capabilities. High caliber so long range shots are viable. Russian cause why not. And big iron as well. Quintessential

Please, one minute of silence to pay respect to the Mosin killed so that monstrocity could exist.

I can imagine a Lovecraft short story where the part that drives the protagonist insane is that the only gun he has is this. *"Why?!"* he asks himself, but there can never be an answer.

When I was growing up in Russia my grandpa had an Obrez like that. It was so short, the bullet was actually sticking out of the “barrel” if you can even call that a barrel. They cut it too short lol. He killed squirrels with it just by aiming at them, the muzzle shock did most of the killing work lol

That gun makes a round get into quantum instability, quite a breakthrough technology. If you're looking closely and expecting something - you get a tumbling round, but if you're not observing, it's 2 projectiles that hit the weakpoints no matter where you're aiming

The world needs more real bolt action pistols, Fallout 4 and 76 has taught us this lesson.

This type of Mosin rifle was very popular in period of civil war in Russia/Soviet Union in 1920-s. A lot of gang members used this as a powerful and easy to hide handgun. It also had a nickname - Smyert' Predsedatelya - closest translation is Chairman's Death.

The Obrez isn't cursed, it's just way ahead of it's time... It belongs in the apocalypse. They should make a bunch of those if they ever do another Mad Max movie.

The Obrez, a.k.a: When you finally find a Hunting Rifle in Fallout 4 yet completely neglected the Gun Nut skill.

"Do you think I could hit a target at 25 meters?" "At least 80% of the time." "How many times out of three?" *"Once or twice."*

With that barrel length the muzzle flash is doing all the damage

"Can you imagine being shot at by this at night?" No... no I cannot, because the word for "Obrez firing at night" is called "daytime"....

I do NOT blame you one bit for double DOUBLE checking that chamber when you were ghosting that trigger.

Awesome intro! The muzzle flash is beautiful with that ring of fire and massive shockwave.

There's a lot less recoil than I expected.

This is the most “Star Wars” looking gun that isn’t from Star Wars, looks like it would fit perfectly with the original trilogy’s assortment of cursed chopped up guns

“Dude, I’m not going to shoot that.” (Already sorting ammunition for it….) yep sounds like every good range trip to me.

I love the Cetme L at the beginning. It's been one of my favorite rifles to shoot.

I love the sound wave “ring” u get when firing the Nagant pistol, it’s more than just muzzle flash.

The only firearm the federal government is comfortable with the people owning

8:50 therefore, the Obrez is superior to a regular Mosin due to its capability of performing black magic

finally a left handed pistol

This was the best intro I've seen on any gun video in a very long time🤣

"Mom, can we get a Desert Eagle?" "No, we have a Desert Eagle at home" Desert Eagle at home:

If I were still a star wars fan, I'd say that thing would make an excellent blaster for a show...if I were still a star wars fan.

Every time I discover something you make a video about it within a few months. Literally I had a funny thought of sawing off my mosin like a week ago and here it is

I love it... it's like a spud wrench doesn't seem functional until you use it right

I’m not gonna lie I would really want one of these even tho they are stupid, but the historical neatness is just too much to pass up

Thanks for finally reviewing my concealed carry of choice. Its no glock, but i was surprised it took this long. Truly an underrated gem

I usually skip through silly youtube video intro skits... but this was one was just right. :) And indeed a legendary weapon too.. Cheers for the content :)

I love the fire ring during slow mo. I would love to see a review of the Nagant Revolver.

Btw, we call sawn-off shotgun the "obrez" (обрез) usually. Cuz ОБРЕЗать means to cut off, to saw off. It will work for mosin too, but people rarely do that.

I remember when the Obrez pistol was a one shot in battlefield 1 you could also snipe from a considerable distance fun to play with interesting history behind it as well

Thank you so much for using that fuzzy noise dampener on your mic. I wish everybody would do that!

I Always wandered how a Bolt action pistol would look like, thank you for showing it

The Obrez has a 10% chance to release an additional projectile when fired.

Considering how both the "Completely Ordinary" Mosin, and the Obrez look, I'm realizing that pretty much all sci fi guns like those in Star Wars are little more than extremely cursed regular guns.

The obrez came in many different styles. Some still had the stock with a short barrel. Some didn't have the stock but still had the wood. And others like this one we're stripped down to the skeleton

I love the sound when ejecting the casing

Hmmm, why do I feel like we are slowly seen Garand Thumb turn in to solid snake?

Not much over penetration, acts as a poor man's flashbang when firing, perfect for home defense

The intro👌👌👌the fireballs 💥💥💥

"Dude" 😂🤣😂🤣 your composure through out this entire video was amazing!!! 😎👍

Obrez literally means "cut", this word is usually used to describe shotgun/rifle with a cut barrel (shorter than the original for close combat I assume). Usually in movies they just take a regular rifle or double barreled one and cut it by hand and go kill zombies, but this thing looks like a Star Wars blaster.

Ive had an Idea. Step 1: remove pistol grip Step 2: atach the obrez to the bottom of any Assault rifle of choice in a way that has the Bolt going up when closed (or atach It to the side in a way that has the Bolt going over the handguard) Step 3 (optional): atach a trigger linkage system on the side of the obrez to make It easier to fire in the underbarrel configuration. End result: underbarrel/sidebarrel obrez.

I seen a guy shooting a custom built 30-06 a few years ago. It had a custom barrel that was smooth bore until the end were it had 2.5 inches of rifling which was only a 2 groove rifling. It was smashing out 1 inch groups at 400 yards with 160grain bullets. Apparently the gun was originally built back in the early 60s for target shooting in a sled. I don’t know many details on it as it was about 10 years ago. But the short rifling always impressed me he talked about less bullet deterioration, Less barrel fouling ect. The range was only 400 yards but I’m sure it would stay sub MOA at 1000. For a 70+ year old gun that’s impressive to me.

I also like how Brandon took the time to put an optic on it as though it’s going to be able to hit something past 20 feet.

That cinematic opening makes the Obrez seem like an ancient accursed weapon used to brutalize time-traveling evil, which it is

That opening montage was funny, especially the way you completely missed several targets from only about 15 feet away.

Has to be the best intro to any video on RU-vid

I think this is my favorite gun channel now

My theory on the shot that produced two holes: the bullet broke in half. The nose tumbled the way you would expect. The back half was stable enough to produce a round hole, because it was actually short enough to be stabilized by the half inch of rifling.

I feel like this would be FAR more accurate firing Wadcutter loads; Reloading the bullet backwards in the case would result in an almost teardrop-shaped projectile, which is inherently stable. The drastically reduced range is... well, this isn't gonna reach far no matter what, so there's basically no downside.

These intros for these videos have no business being that good.

That damn circle of fire it creates everytime you shoot is beautiful

This weapon‘s effectiveness could be summed up by say, if you were dueling at 30 paces against an opponent wielding a slingshot, you would die 2 out of 3 times.

"A shortened Mosin Nagant intended for use by revolutionaries and insurgents. Inaccurate, but instantly kills with headshots."

Damn the shockwave coming outta that thing is pretty cool! Gas is way underexpanded in that barrel lol

It's a multi-purpose gun, it's both a pistol and a flashbang dispenser. Even if you miss, the enemy will think you are shooting shark teeth with those keyholes.

Admittedly, that compact affront to firearm principles is emitting some powerful Firefly energy.

GAAAHHHDAAAMMMM this intro went hard AF

Intro reminds me of Ronin from Stargate Atlantis... When Colonel Sheppard was "showing the armory" to Ronin. After a fast once over & shot test, holds up his personal "sidearm" and takes out the center of the target proclaiming "I prefer mine." Sheppard replies "I can see why..."

1:49 seeing the pressure ring is just evidence that this weapon is truly legendary and one that can only be wielded by the most chad of operators.

You may not like it, but this is peek breaching weapon. It’s high “stoping power”, compact, and a flash bang all in one.

Weirdly enough, I’ve only heard of the Obrez after installing the Olde Firearms mod for Unturned. It was weird, and I loved it. Seeing it compared to a regular Mosin, I would have to agree that it looks cursed. And I love it more

I love the ring of fire that comes out when fired, I want one just for that

Obrez was cut with a bit longer barrel approximately 4-7 inches. They didn’t cut it that short. They also used to leave wood of foregrip almost to the end of the barrel. Obrez was popular with bandits mostly as it was easier to conceal and easier to shoot while riding horses.

A bolt-action, 5-shot, 180-gr, tumbling Russian potato gun. Clearly, this calls for a threaded-on suppressor. 😆

That's wild to be able to see the projectile flying through the air.

This was the main defense weapon during the Russian Revolution and the Civil War even though the Nagant 1895 is the common sidearm. Most weapons during early rise and establishment of Soviet Russia were often confiscated but for a Mosin Nagant, for self defense, arent going to fit in a winter overcoat than just sidearms that were used in World War 1.

See, your problem was you were using quality ammo. Feed that thing some shit steel cased and jacketed!

1,200 fps... so you're getting 7.62x25mm ballistics out of 54mmR. That's a huge, bolt-action Tokarev.

That intro though was worthy of a freaking documentary!

That narration and music goes hard

Cinematic at the beginning was awesome. I want more like that.

2 projectiles for the price of 1! This thing reduces net ammo cost back to pre-2020 prices. I'll take 7.

It's not often you get to see a LotRs crossover on the gun side of RU-vid. Very nice intro.

Honestly the most cursed thing about the Obrez is the modern optic on it. Also, the Obrez was designed as a trench clearing weapon since as you mentioned pistols weren't easy to come by and you definitely weren't gonna find a Russian SMG, so the Obrez was made and was mostly used during the civil war when pretty much everybody was short on recourses, even the communists who had the most factories.

Actually, considering the unstability of this "pistol´s" round, it makes it even more dangerous. It´ll tumble heavily upon impact and would make a lot more damage than just piercing 7.62x54 mm bullet. So from close range this thing would chop down any man. And even when hitting an arm or leg, it´d be "game over" in first shot.

Garand Thumb: the Obrez is the most bizarre firearm ever KelTek: Hold my crack pipe

I've been using Nextbelt for more than a few years and it's been good for me. Same ratchet system with a magnet latch lock

I kinda like the obrez, it has like a rugged mad max kind of charm. The type 94 nambu is the most cursed gun that I know of because it's aesthetically disgusting and is more likely to kill the person carrying it than his enemy.

You know, looking at the recoil in slow-motion it just occurred to me that fitting that thing with an ergonomic revolver grip would probably make all the difference in the world.

I remember when Dice added this weapon to battlefield 1. They basically allowed those armed with smgs and shotguns to carry a shortened rifle as a backup for long distance targets.

That shock wave is fucking awesome, also the time warrior intro thing was dope

The muzzle flash went inside the ballistics gel, thats brutal

Loved the jump cut while “praising” the AFT. Love those guys and their infinite wisdom!

My great grandpa had a blaster like this that he called his "snake gun." It was a break action 12 gauge single barrel that he manufactured from scratch. no, it wasn't an illegally modified shotgun. it was a scratch build item (and has since been destroyed). it basically had just enough "barrel" to cover the shotgun shell and otherwise looked like this obrez does (minus the bolt). he usually carried shot that was between bird and 00 buck (i forget the exact shot size) and you just had to vaguely point in the direction of a snake to blast it to smithereens. if you are gonna walk the Mojave, you really do need a gun like that which is light, quick to draw, and very reliable. you want to be able to spot a dangerous snake, draw, and shoot in about a second. and yes, my great grandpa would wander the actual Mojave like he was an NPC in fallout new vegas. he was a badass lol. something about killing nazis in WWII turned guys into badasses

Possibly one of the best intros EVER...

9:37 That circular muzzle flash is a beaut

I’d like to see this with the jury rigged piston gas system they put on some Enfields to make those semiautomatic. Just make this thing even more absurdly bulky
