Was the Hammond pistol any match for Colt? With firearms and weaponry expert, Jonathan Ferguson 

Top Gun

They would probably crash into a wall after you fired them

I would be worried of anything made by him 😂 have tendency to brake down lol

If he did it would be more like the kolibri

If he did I would buy one just to have one

Well Ian (Forgotten Weapons) has collaborated with both C&Rsenal and Jonathan Ferguson. Othias (C&Rsenal) gives a whole new meaning to the term "deep dive".

And Matt Easton of scholagladiatoria too!

I was a huge fan of Forgotten Weapons until I found out that I'd been shadow banned (being blocked on youtube is essentially that in the sense that you are not told it's happened, are still able to leave comments, but you're just typing to yourself because nobody else can see them) and I have absolutely no idea why. The most "negative" comments I leave are ones attempting to correct things I believe to be wrong, and I always try to be as decent as possible. But then again, after watching for like four years it's not impossible I've left a dickish comment at some point. It's still a harsh and cowardly solution response (I believe it's permanent btw) to rare unpleasant comments though. Considering that nobody actually gets told this has happened to them, it might be worth while leaving a comment on one of his vids, then going into an incognito tab to look at the newest comments to see if it pops up. Just saying this so people know they might be completely wasting their time leaving comments, and they should probably be very careful with certain channels. Thanks for watching my ted talk. Edit: I should also add that this *could* be RU-vid automation, and might have nothing to do with Ian. It's kind of depressing that this is a possibility lol.

@@tommeakin1732 Huh, I've seen that happen to some of my comments as well. And on the topic of Forgotten Weapons, I've certainly criticised some of Ian's videos in quite harsh words in the past, and I do believe that it was well deserved, but to Ian's credit I've never seen this sort of reaction from him, in fact, he took some corrections quite fondly. I tend to believe that what you're describing is more of a RU-vid algorithm shenanigans, being that the site is being basically run by bots at an alarmingly increasing rate, from what little I've heard.

@@F1ghteR41 I was really surprised that Ian would do that - but I also suspect that most people don't consider quite how dramatic a thing it actually is to block someone as they don't have to see the depressing results of it lol. I suppose it's also possible that other people have "moderator privileges" - or, of course, this could be a RU-vid bot moderation. Like maybe if enough people report your comments, you just get auto banned from a channel. It's a mystery lol because youtube tells us *nothing*

Emergency Backup Jonathan does a great job when called upon, though.

Thanks for confirming that.

I came to mention this, thanks!

I was about to write that, but I figured since I discovered the video this late someone else would mention it.

Just for the ease of search, the channel's name is scholagladiatoria.

Not a revolver, a single shot pistol

Oh for goodness' sake. The classic 100s/'century' cock-up. That's embarassing!

@@jonathanferguson1211 , Hahaha! Well, to be fair, you specifically stated that it's a "13th century design", which may very well be completely accurate! So... 😁

One website which lists the sword, states it is a replica of a sword dating from 1275 to 1325, so late 13th / early 14th century, so both are correct.

@@andreweden9405 Damn, I could totally have styled that out! Ah well :)

@@jonathanferguson1211 , Hahaha! I do that same thing all the time! I'll be like "damnit, I totally could've just played that off!"😁 In any case, if that's the only thing someone can find to nitpick about a video, you've done an incredibly good job!😊

I did query myself on this in the edit, believe it or not. I didn't ask them to edit it because the word is much older than the machine process. But you're right, it's not usual to use it for hand work like this. The joys of recording without a script :)

Do you know if the process you described is the one used to make litho ink metering rollers? They are uniform whereas gravure rollers are not.

It would be classed as chequering, in real terms. Although the Word Knurled is a bastardisation of the word Knarled and is even older than that. Knurling is a process of adding single or diamond patterned surface , for decoration or grip, the rollers came later so it isn't incorrect, just that the engineering term has superceded the original form.

knurling isn't the process but the finish, it can be achieved on a flat surfaces.

Go drinking in the Brampton region of Chesterfield instead of Sheffield. Far safer. Over the border into Derbyshire.

Not sure I'd want to shoot a "Clarkson" pistol, the Hammond, yes, a May, might be a bit dull, but solid.

Or perhaps scarlet-shoed women's canines?

From what I recall , this is indeed the case in several of the British musea, and might very well be a mandated standard practice in the UK.

@@F1ghteR41 thank you I appreciate it I was wondering that on the videos that I have watched from Royal Armories.

@@The_Lone_Wolf No problem. I wish Jonathan or some other museum professional could shed more light on the topic.

The Rolling block also does not have a top strap but ought to be a much stiffer action than the Hammond, because the latter has quite an offset between the bore axis and the lower part of the frame, from where the breech block is pivoted. But, of the two, I think the Hammond is the better choice for a pocket pistol, because there is no breach operating arm sticking out on the right hand side of the breech.

Remington also made the Rolling block pistol which was used primarily for target work (especially when the .44 Russian cartridge came out.)

@@unclebrat Indeed they did. I used to own an Uberti replica Remington Rolling Block in .357 magnum. It may well have been the most accurate centerfire pistol I ever owned. I did get my best ever slow fire score while using it. It was, of course, no good for rapid fire events, in which I found my S&W Model 14 seemed to shoot as well as anything else that I either owned or managed to borrow.

Yea one was pretty standard around that time though. Try to deal with the threat then it's probably out with the knives lol

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. Talking this much about the name Hammond, it is not the easiest thing to avoid thinking about Richard, or even Top Gear, given that their phraseology overlaps. I think that is also why Ferguson was smirking at times, or holding back a laugh or two.

Haha, thanks. I was thinking something similar.
