In the 50s my twin brother and I used to play ‘dueling’ with our muzzle loading percussion pistols that fired a cork ball propelled by a ‘Greenie stickum cap’ . Great Fun
Wow that was an amazing and interesting view of a type of armaments that I thought had only existed in one or two models . I was badly mistaken. The workmanship is phenomenal
Wish there were more information on air guns, so far the only one I can find is the Girardoni gun, and I wish to know more about them, particularly early models
extremely interesting 🧐👍, i do wish that you had gone more into the history, manufacturers dates, calibres, loading process and numbers constructed. I know i might be splitting hairs, but today we call these air guns (not firearms) but when these were made they were known/ called “wind guns” in fact.
if you look 👀 really closely you can just see the outline of the up and down breach block on the top that would work off the little ball ended handle on the under side 2/3 to the front right where you would normally find the ramrod. it works just like a bot action that just lift’s the breach up, locks so you can load the breach and is spring loaded to hold the breach in the fire position once released.
The only reason I can think of as to why these were not wildly popular would be the downside of 1500 pumps to charge it again. But the capability of 22 shots of .46 caliber balls should have been the upside. It’s an amazing rifle considering the time it was in use. Thanks for sharing this.
Legally and scientifically speaking, there are no "firearms" in this video despite the statements of the presenter. "Firearm" has a very specific meaning in the law and in technical conversation. Simply stated, if there is no "fire" then there is no firearm. Please oh please don't get into the habit of calling any airguns "firearms" no matter how or when manufactured or how they look. One thing we airgun enthusiasts like about them is the near-total dearth of legal restrictions on possessing and using airguns and that results from their not being "firearms" in any way. Let's please not tempt the powers that be into treating them the same. Please. Rifle, yes. Pistol, yes. Weapon, yes, gun, yes. But firearms? NO! "Weapon" is a term that serves perfectly well and has the virtue of being actually correct. Please use it instead of "firearm."
Air guns deserve to be this exquisitely made at some level ,quite an impressive collection, thank you

As gorgeous as these are, can you just imagine what they looked like when they were brand new?
Honestly a lot of these older designs are better than some of the new ones!

Super curious to the pressures these things could produce

Alright alright I’ll step up and lay the first bid $2 🙌
That opening piano piece was rather nice. What was it?
Where did they load the springers at, its obvious they were not muzzle loaders (no ramrods)??

If they are airguns, should we call them "airarms" instead of "firearms"?
True
maybe PSIrearm
AirArms is also a manufacturer in England and they make very fine air guns.

Colonel Sebastian "Tiger" Moran approves...
I have a plethora of real firearms, but I lack in the air gun collection. I only have about 6.
How its work ?
A I R ! Lol .
@@winstonchurchhill3264 then ?
Waxball in a very cold day would probably hurt very much i say and depends on the caliber also
Please, stop saying firearm. Us that cannot have firearms would appreciate the distinction.

That would be amazing.
Wheres the dam firearms ? dude air rifles air pistols
Okay, Garth, settle down...You'll be able to spit your tabbaccy soon enough
To be concise, Airguns are not firearms! Wish you would stop calling them ‘firearms’. You of all people should know better.
Lol. Firearms also aren't firearms... At least since they stopped using fire for ignition of explosion... IE before flint ignition.
@@rahowherox1177 They still use explosives and a spark.
Scottish isn't a language, it's either Gaelic or Scots, not "Scottish".

Steampunk air guns
Just beautiful...although it still makes me smile when I see people comment that springers need to move aside for newer tech pcp.
