The Pancor Jackhammer was a select-fire combat shotgun designed by John Anderson in the 1980s. He was a Korean War veteran who had used a pump shotgun in combat, and while he liked the shotgun concept, he felt there must be a more efficient way to make a shotgun than a single-loading pump action. The tinkered with ideas and designs, and ultimately devised the Jackhammer. It is a remarkably clever and interesting mechanism, combining mechanical elements from the Mannlicher 1894, 1895 Nagant revolver, and the Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver.
After making several dozen mockups out of wood and clay to get the mechanics just right, Andersen built a fully functional prototype, which is the gun you see here. It used a lot of large cast parts (and weighed a fully 17.5 pounds), and had a very slow reloading process. However, it proved that the concept was valid and it worked reliably. Anderson then made two more with much lighter materials and a much improved reloading mechanism. These two guns were submitted to the US military for testing, and both were ultimately destroyed by HP White Labs in destructive tests. The testing proved very positive (the guns survived a 50,000 round endurance test), but were ultimately rejected by the military.
The first prototype was kept personally by Anderson, and is now the sole existing Jackhammer. It was owned for several years by Movie Gun Services, which rented it to a number of film, video game, and comic book companies. Because of this and its very distinctive appearance, the Jackhammer has made appearances in a vast number of comics and video games.
Thanks to the folks who kicked in to my IndieGoGo fundraiser to help me make the cross-country trip to film this gun! I was not able to shoot it for liability reasons (the owner was not present and the gun most recently sold for $135,000), but I hope you will enjoy getting an in-depth tour of how it works.
This is the opposite of a forgotten weapon, instead of being used and forgotten, it was never used and is remembered

Imagine making a gun that the military rejects, only for the very gun you built to be made into an icon of what a sci-fi futuristic shotgun looks like. Fascinating.
And then it's put in military games anyways

In the 1980s while I was in the army my father sent me a couple of crude drawings of this weapon. My uncle who lived in Denver was working on the paperwork to submit this to the military. I never knew what became of this project until now. I'll have to see if I still have those drawings.
That would be cool. Also cool to know that my state is somehow connected to this gun

"Not a real gun" -Zach
Because there was only one produced and never used.
@@operleutnant7235 It's literally on the screen in front of us and was tested by the US military LOL. It's clearly a real gun. Just was never mass produced due to funding reasons.
But perhaps you're right and several nations around the world were showing interest in a lollipop instead of a gun. IDK.
@@renaldoawesomesauce1654 The one on the screen in front of you, as he said multiple times, is a prototype. As in, not the real gun. The other guns, which were beta prototypes were destroyed. And due to funding, the design and fabrication of the pancor jackhammer was never completed.
Several nations around the world were interested in him making the gun and showing it to them, but not interested enough to fund the creation of it. Which is another way of saying they weren't really interested. Mostly because the gun doesn't exist.
The government is also interested in time travel, but that doesn't exist either.
“Barely a real gun”
Because the only practical ones are broken
@@ballsdeep6924 It comes down to your definition of "real gun" because it is technically a gun and it does exist.
But it's a prototype. A prototype that didn't make it past testing. In the sense of "real gun" being a weapon that has been used, or was available, or produced, or even completed testing and developement? No. It's a relic in a museum that hasn't been tested in a long time.

A pump shotgun did the job better and was cheaper. Not to mention the fact that in a warzone or anywhere really a full auto shotty in just not needed, it's purely a for shits and giggles in reality.
The dude's experience was in the Korean war when shotguns were actively used in combat somewhat frequently, it wasn't uncommon to have someone in the squad with a shotgun. Once you get past the Korean war and assault rifles became more and more commonplace to cover almost every combat role, and now you may as well use a pump or a semi auto tube shotgun since they have a specialized role and not something that you generally bring for the purpose of shooting someone, but more for breaching purposes.

I feel so sad for the creator of this gun...... And the gun it self. Such a sad story. I am almost crying.
I have to wonder how widespread it would have become had the designer opted not to approach the US military with it first, or if he could have found some backing. It's an interesting design and it's kind of shocking that we haven't seen it replicated more widely. (Though the drum magazine might be considered a minor drawback- they're harder to carry than typical box mags.)
I know it's a really cool design
It really is infuriating - our government really screwed him over.
I really want to find out how to get the schematics/patents available so it could be built by any gun shop
+T4nkc0mm4nd3r if a rich cheeky engineer did buy this he could reverse engineer it and make a patent, of course when doing that theres always a risk of damaging or destroying it. far from what I think will happen though
+Step One It is my goal someday!
The Jackhammer, despite its name, is an easy to control shotgun even when fired on full automatic.
The popular bullpup design, which places the magazine behind the trigger, makes the weapon well balanced and easy to control.
Minimum STR required: 5
Weight: 12lbs.

Even in Fallout 2 where it's good, no-one ever uses it because you get better guns by that point. RIP

This is what the founding fathers were thinking when they penned the 2a
The Founding Fathers wrote about balancing power between the people and the government: when the firepower changed, it needed to change equally for both sides (personal weapons). But ignoring the flawed premise, the lack of historical understanding is gobsmacking stupid: since at the founding of the country we had 8-shot revolvers, 11-shot field artillery pieces, Jefferson had a 22 shot repeating rifle. Not to mention "burst mode" fully automatics that fired up to 20 rounds with one pull of the trigger. Anyone that makes the argument that the 2A was for muskets disqualifies themselves from rational discussion on guns and gun technology.
Not at all. How many muskets would you have to load to kill so many enemies?
@@shootemup2223 anyone who cares so much what a bunch of slave owners thought disqualifies himself from any modern legal or moral discussion. Why do you care what the guy who raped an enslaved 14 year old envisioned?

Wow. Thanks Ian and Chad and all the people that were able to donate to get him out there. This video was definitely worth it, I love seeing these kinds of unusual bits and this was a wonderful example of why!
With the way that fire selector works... Doesn't that mean toy can theoretically fire it fully automatically even if it's in semi-automatic, provided you hold the trigger in just the right place?
What was the exact reason US never adopted the gun after studying it for so long? They killed the company for basically cutting their possible sales while it was being reviewed, then after so long decided to reject the gun. wtf?
Lack of practical use of the shotgun in general, as a main weapon it simply doesn't have long effective range, as a back up weapon it's too large for it's role. The drum mag was possibly another reason, it's much easier and reliable to use tubular-magazine or box-magazines.
Nowdays, shotguns in military are mostly use for door breaching.
that bit about the DoD doesn't surprise me much, they are well known to look at a new gun for ages and let the company that made it go bust before making their decision...
***** Yes, but that kind of kill the purpose of having a magazine in the first place.
It's government; it doesn't tend to make the best decisions.

It would be cool a system like this but with actual box magazines or standard drum mags, like the AA12, for quick reloading. But i don't know, it would change the way the barrel operates?
It could be made to reload like a revolver, you would just cock the barrel forward then have a button that let's the brum release like a revolver to empty spent shells and also let it free spin to reload faster
+FraggingBard
There are a few more things needed. the fact that its easy to override the sear contact points is a problem that needs addressing. the mag release needa to be improved to allow easy reloading in the field. We thoufht about doing that but the expense would be too great on a prototype firearm. also....most importantly, we would have to make it in a way that doesnt permanently alter the gun.

Well, considering he rented the thing out, I imagine that he did get some money from that and/or royalties

John Andersen: Wants to make a shotgun that is easier to reload.
John Andersen: Makes a gun you have to disassemble to reload.
Task failed successfully.
to be fair this is like a super-early prototype
Yeah he said that the two sent to the military had different reloads
Yeah I'm sure the examples he sent for testing had removable cylinders like how a revolver works or something similar.
That cocking mechanism sounds so beefy when engaged. What a badass sound. I also love that engine exhaust tip on the front.
It would be interesting to take this design to fruition with modern lighter materials. Obvious improvements such as a quick reload, easier takedown and improved ergonomics would make it a possible contender for a modern personal defensive weapon. I find the design absolutely fascinating deserving of a second chance.
Personal Defense Weapon? ...ummm, may I suggest you change neighborhoods? If you need something like this for personal defense, then there is something wrong with the place you intend to use it as a PDW at.
@@taskforcenine6559 I think he means a PDW like in this context th-cam.com/video/5eEt4Y_STOw/w-d-xo.html
The Barrel looks like an exhaust pipe!
Lmao, I was thinking a camshaft.😂😂😂
I thought of a Black & Decker heat gun paint stripper lol
Looks like an oversized handheld ion thrower from StarWars. You know, like the ones that the jawas use in StarWars 4 A New Hope, but bigger.
everything mentioned earlier looks like the business end of a pancor jackhammer - but not as good
Strap a harley 96 cubic inch motor on that, make it P U R R
I remember this gun in Fallout
I remember this gun from Syphon Filter Omega strain
Yup, best shotgun in fallout 2 :) This thing was in Fallout tactics also. And because of EMP shells was a good end game weapon against robots.
oh boy. that game is kinda lost in mind^^
fallout 2 bro, that was a badass game
+tony johnson bro u real asf for remembering that gane
"These guns are most known primarily thanks to videogames." You're goddamn right, Far Cry 2004.
Fallout 2, 1999
@steven[]seagull Yeah thats what i know it from!
Max Payne, 2001
Zach: The Panco Jackhammer doesn't exis-
Also Zach: *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Who is this Zach person everyone here talks about?
@@DeHerg MikeBurnFire, It's a comedic duo that do the Fallout New Vegas Mulltiplayer shenanigans. It's funny to watch em, Zach is a gun nut that knows everything about guns and hates the Pancor Jackhammer cause it never really existed yet game devs always insist on adding it in anyways.
@@OnBrandRP Ah, thanks.
@@OnBrandRP Were dinosaurs a pre war thing or a pre pre war thing?
@@DeHerg yw
The car exhaust tip is the best part!
Considering the manufacturer stopped production due to no market interest... Ya know what? Someone should start making these, they'd make a killing!
Mhymyk amen to that
there might be a reason for the absence of similar products in todays market
Patents, bruh
Drum mag, and difficult to exchange!
Just because he stopped making them, doesn't mean someone can legally steal his idea and produce these guns.
Yeah I saw this weapon in Project IGI. I actually don't play videogames all that much but back at the end of 90s Project IGI was one of the games I played and Jackhammer was totally my favorite weapon in the game. :D
4:58 Damn, does it have a built in speaker?
The vibration is being transferred through to the table, which is amplifying it.
f- fu fu. . . fucking shoot it. pls. Complete my childhood
You mean, firing a prototype worth thousands of dollars without the owner's presence and permission? That doesn't sound like a very good idea to me
Sᴏᴄɪᴇᴛʏ Pʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍs Sᴀᴛɪʀᴇ Understand jokes pls?
Lone_Combine Ah, it was a joke. It's kinda hard to tell when you're on the internet.
Sᴏᴄɪᴇᴛʏ Pʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍs Sᴀᴛɪʀᴇ Ok then?
Literally everyone is here because of Zach losing his shit
Who is Zach?
@@Fakeusert A guy that is friend and play a lot with the youtuber and let's player Mikeburnfire. They exploded in popularity because of a video of Zach ranting about guns for 40 minutes. Because he is a gun nut. But that to be expected of a guy that have been into guns since a young age, Been a battalion armourer in the army and working at a gunshop/range. The new pleps fans always talk about his hate about the jackhammer when that ''meme'' have been run down to the ground and stop being funny after 5 minutes of that video was released.
I recommend that channel, They are not like the other let's player that is out there if that is your thing.
...no. I'm here because I like Ian's videos, and I'm interested in the gun.
Huh?
YOU KNOW IT BRO!
This gun WOULD be owned by a chad...
Hmmm Yes.
Ok BRADY don't think anyone named Brady has room to talk 😂😂 about a Chad. Freaking hilarious and you don't know why.
@@ShawnO3258 Brady's are bitches
@Marc Whitakay Yes sounds like it 🤔 hey I'm a Shawn and what the heck ! 😅
@Marc Whitakay the name "Chad" Is associated with the alpha male archtype, kinda like a fratboy or douchebag.
Drop it into the Pakistan firearms district. Have one in a few months.
Next time on Forgotten Weapons: Khyber Pass Pancor Jackhammer style rifle.
@@meehaerospace1476 the mag will be a Suzuki mehran rim lmao
why so long?
You however won't survive unless you convert.
Your profile picture is wonderful
I remember this from Battlefield 2.
Didn't know it was that rare though
Same
I thought it was a bit futuristic weapon because of shape, since it was unusual shotgun, despite being in game and my knowledge back in the day. Either way, I actually thought it was something recently introduced in military if it was in BF2, something that is used, but seems not.
Games Cooky i remember it from battlefield 3
Same with the Hellreigel in BF1
@@CJ_Brim yeah same. Got a lot of kills with that bitch
4:55 that sound. that glorious sound.
So, has anyone ever recorded a video of the Pancor Jackhammer being fired? I'd really like to see its firing rate AND hear what it really sounds like when being fired.
Its just a prototype,Probably a non firing one
@@Mephiles343 read the description under video. It clearly states that this fully operational prototype. The only reason why Ian cannot fire this gun because the owner was missing and cannot give Ian a permission to fire it.
ya but has anyone recorded a video though? i'm trying to see it fired as well
I love this! I'm so glad I subbed to this page. This guy broke it down so well I could share with my non gun friends and they could get it but he still used all of his knowledge to keep a gun enthusiast interested.
How can a simple sound, sound amazing? Lol. The cocking action "sounds" satisfyingly sturdy, well engineered and smooth.
Damn every comment here is about Mikeburnfire lol. Hello Zach if you ever see this!
“Im just borrowing this from Chad” Of course a Chad would have this
Problem with military procurement. Good ideas failing because of financial problems.
Excellent work like always, thank you.
No the thing about this is the budget ussually is spended in sheer fucking dumb projects that are hella lot expensive, take years to develop , and when is ready for deployment is already obsolete (Hello there USA Defense Budget) when the money instead of beign spended on "superweapons" could be far better used upgrading weapons and gear for the regular army.
It wasn't a good idea though, a full auto shotgun has even less merit on the battlefield then a pump shotgun. For at least the pump shotgun is a simple and cheap way of doing the one thing shotguns do in modern war, breeching. This plastic covered behemoth is only good in the looks department and not on any realistic scale.
You should see the way you have to load it. Insane....
Someone should start making these again.
I don't see why not
I don't see why not. Patents should have been expired by now
Patents were shorter before the 90s, so there would be the availability of making another one of these and being extremely badass with it
Very elegant engineering. The mechanism actually sounds really intuitive and not complicated at all.
omg the pump sound
sad thing is that Chad apparently decided to sell it in 2019 according to the Morphy Auction house. Oof
It'll only go up in value. Like gold but better.
**Proceeds to load lasgun**
“For the Emperor!”
Are you from Salusa Secondus? You Sardaukar? I have one thing to say to you...MMMAAUUUDDIIIIBBB!!!!! /;p Ok, back to me seitch! Now, where did I park me sandworm?
@@johnnygnoneeded Wrong universe
@@jesseroach7978 I don't think so, "lasgun" was/ is from Dune, as written in what, 1965-69? My comments were in that universe, which is far from the only science fiction universe to have an "Emperor" or many empires. Which Emperor do you think was meant?
10 Shotgun shells being blasted right towards your groin. Not a very nice way to die.
It wouldn't kill you. Bloodloss and septic shock would kill you a week later, when you're done screaming like a little girl.
Tobold Lygo Wrong, the blood loss and spinal shock would kill you on the way to the hospital.
Keith Beckett Quick! Radio the Finnish army!
We need their dick protector vest!
yeah, 10 shots for sure u probally won't reach the hospital.. 2-5 maybe u last a week or survive
actually did see a video of a indian guy maybe late 20's who had been cut in half from motorcycle accident laying on the ground for like 10minutes before his heart stopped lol, i mean he was moving around, talking and shit while his intestines was touching the ground, all while hemorraging heavily.
