Here are some interesting military history stuff: the volley guns were the only effective solutions to increase the firing rate of the muzzleloaders for a long time. Here is the presentation of a seven barrelled piece, that was used in the 16th century Hungary during the wars against the Turks.

Am I mishearing things? I swear there was a kazoo playing in the background for a while.

Yep
I do to
That fired way faster than I initially anticipated
this is a smaller one heck by the early 1700's they had 7 barrel handheld versions called Nock Guns dont let anyone tell you the founding fathers could never have predicted the existence of machineguns many of them had experimental guns themselves like weird muzzle loading repeaters...
Happy John oh yes I’ve heard of them they seem to be quite nifty. I my self am an ardent 2nd amendment supporter so I’ll never fall for the grabbers lies.

As a former pyrotechnician, I feel it's my duty to point out that when loading a multi-barreled contraption, it's a good idea to do it in such a way that you move away from the loaded barrel when you move on to the next, as the opposite of the procedure we see @ 1:56 where the loader loads a barrel and then reaches over the loaded barrel to ram the next one. Not trying to be a smartass or anything, but "not getting anything you don't want to get shot off in front of a loaded barrel", is one of the first things they drill into you.
That would be true if it were a flintlock volley gun, however, these dont fire unless fire is physically applied to the hole, hence why the procedure used is completely safe.
@@maticstudios Maybe ! not wise to get in front of load ....
@@maticstudios No, that would be true no matter what method of ignition you choose, the powder in itself doesn't care if it's ignited by a spark from a bonfire, a cigarette, or static electricity, once there's a charge in the barrel its dangerous, that's why you never reach over a loaded barrel, and that's why the last thing you do before moving on to the next barrel, is mark the one you just loaded so everyone can see from a distance that it's loaded.

A gun like the one shown in the video has a low chance of igniting with the flash holes covered. They are slightly more prone to igniting when the barrels are hot from firing. Even with an ignition, at the most it would blow off your hand, but more likely it would send the ram rod down range, and burn your hand.
There is a difference between loading a weapon of war... for war, and loading it for a demonstration.
When talking about a weapon such as this, dont bring your recreational loading procedures to the table, since they are irrelevant when this gun was purpose built to supply a fast spread of lead. The weapon would be fired and loaded as quick as possible, since you are at lower risk from being killed by the random ignition of your gun, that to be shot down by the enemy you failed to shoot in time due to your slow reloading.
@@maticstudios You know, you don't have to attempt to teach me anything about how explosives work, I've actually worked with them professionally for a very long time, and you seem to be missing the point here, this is not war, this is a demonstration, and you don't think getting a hand blown off, or sending the ramrod downrange is a big deal? Despite being an atheist, I pray to all the gods, even those nobody believes in anymore, that you're never supplied with a pyrotechnician's certificate. We're done here.
Sexy accent aside, dont you guys love the constant Kazoo noise in the background?
this comment section is my first time i saw somebody thinks hungarian accent is sexy
That's not kazzo!
I love the sound of this gun firing.
couldn't agree more. i've replayed the last bit quite a few times already haha
Random Metal Crusader at 3:30 :P
knights in the middle ages did wear their hair long like that actually
Steven Swingler by the Mid to Late Middle Ages, the era of the Crusades and plate armor, shorter hair and clean shaven was the European and Christian norm.
Good read thehistoryofthehairsworld.com
Haha
Isn't that... _interesting..._

What a fascinating firearm contraption. I've heard of larger organ guns that fired cannon balls, but I've never heard of smaller pieces like this. Imagine several of these things going off at once at close range. It'd have the effect of an entire line of infantry blasting off a volley. That's crazy.
when the Vampire Counts arrive and the Empire artillery crew pullout the "Harmonyca"
More like dwarfs organ gun tho
Welcome to Estalia gentlemen.
That was some mad kazoo skill that dude had!
so strange to think that there would have been a sound like a machine gun on the medieval battlefield
Is your accent for sale? I would like to buy 900 for myself.

You can buy mine if you want. I dont speak that much anyways

full auto flash pan! gotta love the ingenuity that went into making that!
I want to see 20 of these shoot actual shot down range at the same time with a few falconets shooting grapeshot aswell.
so this is the weapon to surpass metal gear
DEtour REX No the Arquebus, which was the first reliable gun, was what made armour obsolete. Then came wheel lock muskets by which time armies had done away with armour altogether.
Not true, armor was still widely used even by infantry into the mid 17th century when the wheellock had been around for at least a century.
but can it surpass metal gear?
SpyCzech I meant flint locks. True, armour remained on the battlefield in the 17th century, however it usually wasn't anywhere near the same as in previous centuries. By then it was common for most infantrymen to wear solid breastplates and helmets with little else but ordinary clothes. It was at this time that uniformity was implemented in the armies of the time. For example, the Red Coats of Britain has its origins in the 17th century.
DEtour REX Yes, at close/medium range the Arquebus could reliably penetrate plate armour.
Interesting weapon. I`ve seen pictures of them, but never saw one fired before.
You need this, Shep!
Scott Barber Would need a trailer to haul it around. :)

3:47 future shampoo model
During the American Civil War, Volley guns where mounted on wheels, usually working in groups of four, and used too defend bridges, One would fire, and move out, the second would fire ans so on. By the time the last or fourth gun fired, the first one was reloaded, since by this time they where using the same kind of paper cartridges as the infantry. A very interesting idea, and weapon.
Why the fuck is there a kazoo in the background?
Why shouldn't there be a kazoo in the background?
possibly an oboe of sorts, shawm, duduk, bombard, etc.
Kazoo player in background made this video absolutely incredible.
At 2:40, someone seems to walk around the front of the loaded gun.
Range safety!
Plus, he loads the barrels in the wrong order putting his hands and arms over an already loaded barrel to load the next one. Black powder is more unstable than modern gunpowder. It can go off when loading the muzzle especially if it's hot from being previously fired. That's why soldiers were taught to load in a specific way to keep their fingers out of direct line with the barrel.
Not to mention everyone standing in front of it i understand its at an angle but still, scary.
You gotta light it it’s not just gonna magically fire
@@RealMrSoundWave You could say that with a real gun but things happen
@@house_owl5602 a real gun has a pin that can malfunction. With this you need to bring a litteral flame to it.
If the enemy broke through, they would be difficult to move. Awesome reproduction. Thanks.
not any more than a regular cannon actually it would probably be easier to move...
Superb gun and video. Thank you for replicating this significant piece of history. Delivering a mass of fire at a critical juncture. They could predict where the breach would be because the siege guns would be pounding the one area so the defending troops would mass at the breach, which put anyone leading the charge into the breach being referred to as the "forlorn hope" as the first people into the breach usually died. Les Enfants Perdus. . Conversely the defenders knew that if the breach was gained by the assaulting troops the garrison would often be massacred under the conventions of the time that was even true in the Napoleonic wars, that when a garrison refused to surrender before the breach, all would be killed.
Amazing weapon! Thank you so much for showing this. As you said in the video, the psychological effect of such a weapon would have been devastating. It really got my heart pumping just watching it fire from the other side of the Internet. I can't even imagine what it would have been like to actually witness that thing being shot in my actual direction!
ah yes, the algorithm presented me the old method of Auto Fire
Very well done, as always.
Very neat! I've heard of these but rarely see them.
Musket - very loud, very inaccurate and very slow reloading weapon.
Volley gun - the answer to the question of whether it is possible to make an even louder, more inaccurate, more bulky weapon that requires even longer loading. I love her.
Love the channel man!
I never would have expected it to fire that fast
This gun is very beautiful, and makes such a nice sound when firing, love it :)
Never seen one of these let alone fired...thanks
thanks,very cool!
Thanks! I was curious about that type of artillery and its workings.
I was wondering what the language was and i thought it sounded similar to finnish and then when i realized it was hungarian, of course they sound alike, both being uralic languages
Excellent and interesting commentary.
We still use weapons based on this concept, like rocket artilleries.
very cool example of 16th century engineering, and it has ties to some very interesting moments in history.
It looks so wobbly … and with people walking by it after being charged … such a very scary accident ready to happen.
Amazing
Thank you
I kept getting recommended this. I finally gave in.
Flintlock Volley guns also came in pistol form shaped like a pepperbox
my only thought is why retreat after they fire? especially if they miss if they miss it will take time for them to reload this is why before bayonets were widespread pikemen were often attached to musket units
im wondering why they didn't have like detachable barrels. Like it unlocks and they remove 5 barrels and toss it on the ground where a team retrieves it and begins reloading them. Then the firing team grabs 5 iron barrels from a crate or wagon they have with them and slide them in, lock em and then they have another 5 shots in 20-30 seconds. In the mean time, the reloading teams are working in tandem, keeping it perpetual.
Your videos are really amazing, I'd be preferable if you could in the near future showed some review on Spencer rifle. I am allready looking forward too
Amúgy csak én vettem észre hogy magyarul beszélnek?
én is meglepődtem, amugy ott az eredeti videó a laírásban, a magyar változata 😁 tök jó
Fascinating!
That was cool!
when portugese unlock chemistry be like :
Like the way they load this up with people walking about in front!
Magyarul megtalálható a vidi? Mert ahogy látom Magyar a bemutató.
What if volley guns were stacked as well? Like 3 stacks of barrels on top of one another, 21 shots in total with a width of only 7 barrels
thanks for bringing the past to the present C&B.
Very Good!..
Bro so many people there are literally breaking the most important safety rule for guns, don’t step in front of the barrel of a live fucking gun. By front I mean the barrels opening is facing the direction you’re in.
TH-cam knows what to recommend
Would this be considered a high capacity magazine
Ah the ancestor of katyusha guns
When you feel like firing a naval turret except you want a smol deployable gun
That thing is awesome sounds like a machine gun going off
I read the title as firming a violin gun
2:45 oh that sounds way better than I was expecting.
Ещё одно отличное видео!
Hm...place that at a choke-point (just like modern pillboxes/stationary machine-guns!) and you can probably drive similarly equipped enemies back (or at least give your other men time to react to the breach!)
Great video, I find firearms to be something truly fascinating and I will never understand why some people fear them (if you take proper caution nothing will happen to you and others!)...sadly most do and they don't even know enough (for many they don't even really know how say a semi-automatic handgun works, they don't know that there's slide, an ejector etc.)
Привет
Not really. Volley guns were expensive and less reliable and it took longer to reload them than regular guns, not to mention that grapeshot ammo in a bigger single barrel gun was just more effective.
Reloading 7 barrels is slower than 1 barrel, but faster than 7 guns, and also less manpower, less space to stand.
Someone needs to x this 1000 times over i bet it sounds gnarly
great grandpa of gatling gun
Question, is it possible to fire single barrels at a time, or must you fire the whole lot every time?
Well, obviously one option is to only load the barrels you want to fire. If you want to load all barrels, you could put priming powder only over the touch holes of the barrels you want to fire, but this isn't 100 percent guaranteed to work, as the flame may jump to another touch hole.
I saw a winged hussar
the problem is that loading process is not easy . but it's nice I like it . that gun kill 7 . 6 solder in same time.
While an ordinary, bigger caliber gun was able to kill many more with one cannonball :v
And it took less time to load it
Ah yes! Hello from Hungary! 💪😁🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
I know it’s supposed to be 100% from the manuscript but wouldn’t a forked ramrod with a handle be MUCH faster for reloading all barrels at once?
Nice ! It didn't have to be really accurate I think. Use it like a big 12 gauges shot gun, and cover an area. Should spreed horizontally like 5 meters wide from the distance that you want to use it from (not so far, probably).
Maybe good also to "clean up" a wall that have been overun. Fire it from inside a tower, kill everybody on the wall from here to the next tower, and then take back control of your castle wall and continue defend it.
Maybe i'm missing the point here, but wouldn't a large bore shotgun achieve the same effect? With the barrels so close together, all of those shots may only hit 2 men at once
Tisztelettel erdeklodnek hogy mekkora volt a hatasos lotavja egy XVI szazad eleji ( Mohacsi csata) szakallas, valamint a korabeli musketanak. Milyen tavolsagra repultel a golyo normal esetben es milyen tavolsagra adtak le celzott lovest mondjuk egy lovascsapatra illetve egyenre? Tidsztelettel koszonom a valaszokat.

So this is what they mean by 2a only applies to guns at the time
Bottom of it looks like a spade. The hand held model was probably bad ass
I want one. I have no idea why, but I want one.
it's fired too quickly, it should have some more delay between shots to ensure longer firing period, as now it's hardly differen enough from grapeshot.
I actually think a grapeshot is more efficient, considering it may cover a wider area.
But this loads a lot faster than a mortar cannon, which you need if you want to fire grapeshot.
Ego Alter Well I have had the privilege of firing a mortar first hand and you'll be surprised how quickly a mortar can be reloaded. A team of five (1 to clean the barrel, 1 to load powder, 1 to load shot, 1 to aim and 1 to fire) can reliably fire a shot every 10-15 seconds.
Thats rather godamned impressive. in that case, I really dont see the utility of this. If there is a breach, you can just cram a mortar full of assorted junk, and it clears it nicley.
You can't use a mortar in an enclosed space. Mortars fire at extreme angles to get over fortifications, cannons fire straight at the target, and howitzers can do both. You could place a few volley guns in an important, fortified hallway supported by some musketeers; it's going to be really difficult for an enemy to get down that hallway. It would be much more difficult to put a cannon inside and the concussive blast when firing it would probably be bad for everyone involved, attackers, defenders, everyone.
Imagine this thing having a breach like a shotgun. That would be amazing
the perfect home defense weapon
cool
why are people walking infront of the gun while it is loaded?
I can't believe they fired it with people standing in front off it, and above they're heads...Where is the safety here?
"The sumurio last *movies seen captured on this place...
I can’t imagine the death these things spewed when loaded with grapeshot. That’s a lot of lead going downrange all at once.

Why didn't they use a fork like rammer?
How did the guitarist from Type O Negative get there ?
just what i need for home defense
who would have been more impressive if this gun had detachable barrels that you could preload
That actually would hurt the strength of the gun unless you made them screw-on but by the time it would take to screw it off grab a new barrel and screw it back on you could probably be ramming home a fresh round
