“You’re empty, I counted your shots”
“This here’s a Walsh navy revolver. It holds 12 shots.
LOL
Mistakes Can Kill Ya
L. L’Amour
I have always been fascinated with the Walsh revolver. It is such an anachronistic system even in its own time. Superimposed charges were common all the way back to the 15th century with Wheel lock pistols but kinda died out around the late 17th century when experimenting with actions and repeating firearms became more common. To see a revolver use a Superimposed charge system in the 1860s is so bizzare and so novel it catches my attention. I would still never want one since it really isn't that great of a pistol. From what I understand, it was pretty similar to the Volcanic in terms of power
@@Courier-Six Reading Louis L’Amour’s novels you get acquainted with a lot of unusual weapons.
Jubal Sackett’s Lorenzoni pistols
The Ferguson Rifle.
Le Matt
And the Walsh are some I’ve seen.
@@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 I love his novels. I read about the Model 3 S&W in a couple of his books. I called an FFL buddy to get me a 44 Model 3 Russian in usable condition. He started looking. I started looking for 44 brass, a machinist buddy made a tool to cut down 44 Spl and Mag brass so I could feed it. I bought lead Round Nose bullets, BP, and primers from my Buddy I had 500 loaded when he found it and got it in. He handed me the gun, I had paid him $850 he got for less and gave me the change. I walked out back to the range, and shot my reduced loads. I kept that gun until my wife was sick and I had to sell it and 2 Second Gen 45 SAAs to pay bills. I'm saving up to buy the Repro Russian now.
You did this just to make me spend money, didn't ya? It's probably going to work too! You're my favorite scapegoat Santee!
LOL!!! I want to buy a Pepperbox!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Cabelas usually has them and they're not terribly priced either.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Oh...no.
@@ArizonaGhostriders if you pick one up, you can blame it on me. Lol!
Can you imagine reloading some of these in a battle...
You wouldn't. You'd just have to carry...MORE! Like the Guerillas.
@@ArizonaGhostriders it wasn’t a lack of food that made them so skinny in those days… it was all the weight of those smoke wagons!!
Yep, kind of hard without speedloaders or speed strips. 😁
Yep, kind of hard without speedloaders or speed strips. 😁
Yep, kind of hard without speedloaders or speed strips. 😁
Love it! Back then, making a gun required some imagination and they were works of art.
They were. I’m jonesing for a Pepperbox
One of my favorite subjects is firearms in the Old West. That was a great episode Santee and ever included a couple of pieces that I hadn't seen before.
I'm familiar with both the Pepper box and Ducks foot and saw a few of these in person.
Seeings how folks just stuck their guns in a trouser pocket or belt around their waist makes me wonder if anyone ever suffered an accidental discharge from Wilson's volley gun.
I'm certain there were some who went around half cocked over it
LOL!!! Yes. Thanks, pardner
Hi Rusty! I hope you have in a great weekend.
Clement Vallandigham killed himself proving his client's innocence by replicating the circumstances of what proved to be an accidental shooting. It involved a pocket revolver, a hammer resting on a loaded chamber, and said hammer getting caught on the victim's clothing as he drew it out during a barfight.
That harmonica rifle was a new one for me. I've never seen one of those before. And I'm pretty familiar with vintage fire arms.
G'morin' Santee!! We know who wears the spurs in your family...lol!!
LOL!
We know it’s the cat.
@@danliberty734 i didn't hear "meow" from behind the camera...
@@SMichaelDeHart Ah, but we all know….. Watch his other videos. 🤣
@@danliberty734 I'm await the bullwhip coming out...🤣🤣
I’ve seen a harmonica rifle in real life, they have one in the train museum in Sacramento CA!
I don't doubt it.
The Sacramento Train Museum also has my favorite Locomotive of all time, SP 6051.
@@crr311sux5 Cool!!!
@@crr311sux5 Yeah it's a great museum, awesome history in the town also. the first pony express rider did his parade there, and then boarded a riverboat and got started somewhere else, in a race to see which route was faster.
Up next: Cussing and swearing in the Old West.
Gosh dang it!
With kids watching that’s about as far as I can go!
Charles Goodnight of XIT-ranch in Texas had a rule for his employees that said that any cowboy who was caught drinking alcoholic drinks or swearing would be fired from his job.
Dad Gummit...
One of the drawbacks with the "pepperbox" revolver was that it had a bad habit of "chain firing", meaning all six barrels discharged at once. Painful for the shooter but absolutely horrendous for the 'shootee'!
If that one LeFaucheaux I showed had that issue it would be basically a 1.25lbs of C4!
With the percussion revolvers existed the same danger but with worse results !
What??? I see that as a absolute win!!
@@ArizonaGhostriders C4 is a different level !
A chain firing pepperbox becomes a volley gun where every bullet is at full velocity. A chain firing revolver is a smokescreen with an extra bit of lead popping out.
I love how ghost santee was playing the harmonica with a bandana on also I loved the volcanic pistol because of the way it sounds
Yay!
Ah! Le Protector. A palm pistol. Not very accurate beyond a couple of feet but so easily concealed in the palm. One finger above the barrel, one below. Squeeze the rear into the back of your palm, and watch the chaos ensue.
I saw a Pocket Watch Gun too. Was more of a novelty, but neat nonetheless
@@ArizonaGhostriders check out the Apache knuckle-duster... preferably the bayonet model
As pocket pistols went, they were good for the intended purpose, which was at very close range.
A gut shot was often fatal. Slow, and very painful, but fatal. This tended to deter a lot of people from starting arguments with someone who appeared to be unarmed.
Man, I would hate to be stuck with one of those valcano guns lol
Some of these guns are like bulldogs to me. So ugly their cute.
@@ArizonaGhostriders you're correct, a gun only an owner could love 🤣🤣🤣
Better than a sharp stick
There’s a LeMat revolver on display at the museum where I work. I’m typically a sword guy, but man is that a neat looking gun!
Definitely a different looking gun
@@ArizonaGhostriders it really is, definitely the most outlandish piece in my gallery, though I’m questioning what it’s doing in the EUROPEAN gallery. The origin isn’t listed, just the specs.
@@kahn04 I believe they were made in Belgium. There were several variants and used by more than the Confederacy. The only original that I have seen up close was at the museum in the Dixie Gun Works store in Union City, Tennessee. I was there buying my LeMat reproduction.
@@Squib1911 ahh I must have heard patented and switched that to “produced”, 😅
I'm not a gun enthusiast but I do really appreciate the history that these guns have. 🤠🌵
Thank you!
I see a Lemat in the thumbnail! It's one of my favorites.
Definitely an interesting one.
I recognized all the firearms in this video. Says a lot about what I do on my free time.
That's ok!
I love the desin of the savage 1861 navy revolver
Definitely neat looking.
Thanks for including the leMatt like I asked Santee!
You bet!
There was a Western filmed featuring a LeMat revolver??? Ppppffftttt!!!🤭🤣😂🤣😂💨
“The Quick and the Dead” and two tv shows: Ringo and Westworld
@@ArizonaGhostriders I'll have to take a look at those.
I think in the Movie (Forsaken) with Kiefer sutherland .
In the movie _The Quick and The Dead_ you're left to wonder "Who brings a heavy cavalry pistol like a LeMat to a quick-draw competition?"
The answer, of course, is a guy who drops out of said quick-draw competition in the first round.
This was absolutely brilliant. Love seeing the different types of firearms. By the way. Thank you for your kind comment from my last upload. Have a nice day :) Darren Burch
You're welcome, Darren!
I need to add a LeMat (or two 🤷♂️) to my armory.
-Jed 🤠
That would be a heavy one. Is it Sass legal with nine shots?
@@ArizonaGhostriders - pretty sure, yes. Just load it with 5 rounds…. I’d have to double check the book though. But, I’m pretty sure they are allowed.
-Jed 🤠
I’ll never get tired of this channel
Much appreciated.
Lol! Old Bill playing the harmonica
LOL
The old percussion revolvers are interesting and fun to shoot !
Yes
Small cannons! Yes, yes, and more yes. Great stuff!
Thank you!
Johnny Ringo packed a .45 / .410 LeMat revolver specially designed just for him. Well he did on his TV show at least.
Yeah I read that
The short-lived 1959 western series "Johnny Ringo" did make good use of a highly modified LeMat revolver. The show was created by Aaron Spelling and produced by Four Star Productions (so called because it was formed by major motion picture stars Dick Powell, David Niven, Ida Lupino, and Charles Boyer). The series starred Don Durant as former-gunfighter-turned-honest-sheriff Johnny Ringo (yeah, they really rewrote history there) and Mark Goddard (better remembered later as Major Don West in "Lost in Space") as his trusty deputy. Ringo's "seven shooter" was really a 10 shot Lemat that had been converted to fire nine 44 rimfire blanks and one dummy shotgun shell (using a pistol blank insert). The writers called it a "410" because they thought that sounded bigger than 18 gauge or 20 gauge (roll eyes). The gun had been acquired by producer Dick Powell, who I believe was a collector. It was in nonfunctional shape at the time, so he had the gunsmiths at Hollywood's premier prop gun company, Stembridge Gun Works, modify it so it would break open and close in a fashion similar to a S&W Model 2 or Model 3 revolver. Actually, it was a very clever conversion, and one that I am surprised LeMat didn't think of. Indeed, it's a pity nobody is offering such a pistol today. After the series ended, Powell gave the gun to Durant, who owned it until his death in 2005. I don't know what became of the revolver after that, but it certainly would be an interesting find for "Forgotten Weapons". If you want to learn more about the Ringo revolver, I suggest you visit the Johnny Ringo website, specifically page www.johnnyringo.net/lemat.htm. It contains links to more information, including a somewhat inaccurate article from a 1961 issue of GUN WORLD.
After MANY viewings I had no idea that Mr. Swedish Champion was carrying a LaMat.
In "The Quick and the Dead", it is shown in detail, how he loads his Le Mat revolver.
Yep
that last one - held by two federal officers - was a punt gun- used by market hunters on the east coast to kill dozens of ducks in one shot- it was not shoulder fired, instead it was mounted on the bow of a low riding boat like a cannon. they needed big bodies of water that attracted large rafts of ducks to make the work to load, position and shoot one worth the effort, outlawed in the US in 1918, that photo comes from a book "The Outlaw Gunner" about the efforts to enforce waterfowl conservation laws.
great video again
Right. I've seen a version of it in person. Looks like a big toy
I knew the LeMat from the thumbnail lol. That's why I clicked. Love it.
Good! Power of thumbnail!
Santee, these videos have been helping me cope with the stresses of life for years now! I’m so thankful for them. If the Arizona GhostRiders ever make their way up to Deadwood South Dakota I need to get a picture with you and an autograph. Keep up the great work. It is deeply appreciated!
Thank you very much. Hope to get there soon.
Le Matt's actually made the transition from percussion to cartridge later on. One of my dream guns but even the Ubertis are expensive.
Talk you about the Pinfire Lefaucheux Version ?
I'm not sure if if they were pinfire, but here in the US the reproductions are starting at least $1200 compared to $400-$500 for a Remington or Colt reproduction or $900 for a tricked out Colt reproduction with the hammer, springs and action upgrades.
Not sure how you would convert the shotgun part. How would you get the shell in?
@@ArizonaGhostriders i think the shotgun part was not changed!
i think Just the revolver part was changed , still better then pure percussian in my opinion !
www.nramuseum.org/guns/the-galleries/a-nation-asunder-1861-to-1865/case-17-civil-war-imported-arms/lemat-pinfire-revolver.aspx
Topic close to my heart. I’ve held 4 of the types shown in the video.
I'm jealous!
i love percussion. it was like the opening salvo for 70 years of an explosive evolution in firearms.
Yep
3:03 Also the LeMat is massive.I recently saw one in person and was blown away by it
Yeah, it is. Being in front when that 20 Gauge goes off might also blow you away!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Never change Santee your amazing.Love the channel,good joke btw
@@MilanskaSila Thank You!
A slingshot and some rocks would be an interesting back up in that era.
Yes
There was a Rifleman episode that had, I think a Gaucho, who carried a bolo, he gave like, stats about it.
@@phredphlintstone6455 Hmmm....!
The turret pistol in the intro had a rifle version as well. I had the chance to shoot one once and it was terrifying. If you have a chain fire and more than one chamber goes off at once, one of the chambers is pointed right at your face.
A few of these guns had variants in a rifle (or a pistol). The Harmonica Gun, for instance.
One point of clarification about the harmonica gun. It was invented by Jonathan Browning, the father of famous firearm inventor John Moses Browning (praised be his name).
True. That's why I used the "Johnathan" forname
Used to own a pepperbox. Nasty little thing. I once had 3 barrels go off at once! You never knew how many would go off, but at least one always would!
Yeeeeooow!
@@ArizonaGhostriders It was a very reliable little gun, but "pepperbox" and "accurate" cannot be used in the same sentence without the danger of your nose growing! But up close, I'd hate to be in front of it.
Interesting that you include the Calisher & Terry .53 carbine, one of the first breech-loading percussion weapons. Very popular in the UK and in Australia where it was used both by Militia and the NSW Mounted Police
🤠
A museum I used to work at had a percussion pepperbox revolver in its collection. I believe it was about a .32 caliber. Kind of odd looking, but it was double-action and the barrels indexed perfectly into firing position. I can see where it would've been a handy little pocket gun.
THey were very popular...and not very reliable shooters. But ya had a lot of shots to get it right!
A fun film on fanciful frontier firearms
Thanks!
2:20 i love that scene 👌
🤠
@@ArizonaGhostriders once upon a time in the west excellent movie 👌
That big gun being held by two men is a "punt gun", an oversized shotgun, used for market gunning. It was monted in a boat, braced so that it was aimed by aiming the boat. Loaded with whatever was handy, shot, nails, scrap metal and so on, a man paddled the boat out at night, and aimed the entire thing at a flock of ducks "rafted up" for the night. No wingshooting here, it was strictly shooting ducks on the water. Dozens or more birds could be killed with a single shot. The ducks were then gathered up and sold to markets in Baltimore and New York and other places. Interesting topic. Eventually market gunning was outlawed, and the punt guns were either confiscitaed from poachers, placed in museums, or simply vanished. There used to be one over the door at the Virginia Game and Inland Fisheries dept office in Richmond.
I recently read about the Wyeth Expedition out west to the I believe last Rendezvous at Ham's Fork. Wyeth had an "Air Rifle" that shot I think it was 5 rounds. Was completely Silent and very deadly powerful. It was extremely heavy to the point where one had to use a Bi-Pod or some other holding device. I have looked and looked for any information on this rifle but cant but little mention of the Italian that designed it.
I've heard of it too. I think there's one in a museum.
Someone better warn Brazen Bill that harmonica might be loaded....oh wait...too late. Thanks again for another great video!
Lol!!
The Volcanic Pistol needs it's own video.
It was actually a failure. However, I can do a video on one.
Imagine if Lemat also offered cartridge conversion back in the day and fixed some issues they had with the build. It could be one of the biggest names in the history of revolvers and Lemat probably would be still producing revolvers to this day
Maybe. But for a pistol, it was cumbersome
@@ArizonaGhostriders ahh yeah, they should make it smaller too perhaps,
Tremors 4(?) used a Punt gun at the end...would have made a great clip
to throw in, especially since it happened in the old west days of Tremors.
Would have been.
As always, excellent video!
I *think* there's a harmonica rifle on display in the Browning museum in the train station in Ogden, Utah. I'll confirm that later.
I think another subscriber mentioned there is.
It's great to see a video on old west firearms, especially some of the oddball firearms. I know YT makes it difficult to get anything with firearms monetized but these are great videos for an old west channel. Great job featuring some cool guns. Well done.
Thank you!
Thanks again Santee & Co. I've seen the Le Protector pistol called a ' Lemon Squeezer. One of my navy buddies had a .36 cal side-by-side double barrel percussion pistol often called a ' Snake eye pistol ' . When I was the navy the Duck Foot pistol was a near recent memory . But some of the old timers I sailed with probably used them until John Moses Browning invented the .45 Auto . I'm that old . LOL. Could you possibly make a video about archery in the Old West sometime ? I realize that archery was mostly practiced by Native Americans , but I believe that Victorian era palefaces practiced archery for sport . PS . I reckon you've drank up the Cheerwine I sent you . Sorry that one blew up in shipment and Bill Brazelton stole one . I hope you try the mustard BBQ sauces this 4th of July.
Thanks Victor. I tried some of the BBQ sauce and it was terrific. Yeah, the Cheerwine and Ginger ale are all gone!
Cast brass pepperbox revolvers were somewhat popular as selfdefence weapons in my region of southern Sweden during the mid 19th century as well
Cool!
2:19 the best part
Good!
When I was in Sidney Nebraska I checked out the local museum there and saw a Starr revolver that was found when they moved the old boot hill cemetery.
Neat! The Starr is one of those "So ugly is cute" guns.
What an awesome video guys. I was so hoping that you were going to put the Le Mat in there, I think that would be a very nice addition to any bp collection. The pepper box and the ducks foot are also pretty cool as well.
Thank you!
A friend of mine had a reproduction of the LeMat. That darn shotgun round nearly broke my wrist!
Yeah? WOW!
The harmonica gun was a thing? I thought i had come up with that on my own after having too much bourbon wednesday night
Me too.
The 19th Century was plumb full of men who were plumb full of whiskey and ended up with a brand-new gun idea.
Santee hello, General J.E.B. Stuart carried a Le Mat during the War.
Correct.
@@ArizonaGhostriders He is a distant cousin and his Will is on display in my home town of Wytheville VA.
firearms were much stranger before the unsuccessful designs were phased out.
But oh so cool.
I've always been interested in old West fire arms
Thanks for this video Santee.. and everyone at Arizona Ghost Riders. Ya'll are awesome. And, as usual, I always enjoy your inclusion of a good does of humor. You productions always get a good laugh out of me.
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Some of my favorite weird firearms from the period are the carbine/rifle versions of revolvers like the LeMat and the Colt Paterson
Yes!
last year I came to this chanel and i'm enjoying your videos very well please make more fun videos like this
Thanks! Will do!
So the LeMat was really used in the old west. Thank you so much Santee now I can equip it in RDR2 without feeling awkward.
I haven't been able to pinpoint where, but it seems maybe some military surplus.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Also there was a Centerfire and pinfire version manufacturerd.
fantastic vid !!! The Lemat reproduction has been on my bucket list for a long time.. thanks Cheese !!!
Go for it!
The Le Mat Revolver is like the Kingsman pistol a modified Russian Tokarev TT-33 with a 12g underbarrel for one 12gauge buckshot shell
Hmmm....
Hello Arizona Ghost Riders. It's Ted from Texas. I definitely enjoyed watching your clips. Wish they were longer cuz I find them that good. Hope you're doing well look forward to the next one my friend.
Thanks for watching!
That revolver near the end scares me
LOL!
On Red Dead 2 my favourite sidearms are two lemats, they're real handy in a gunfight because of the nine shot cylinder. The only major downside though is the reload time.
In the game you don't feel the weight of those two beasts!
I always love your gun videos. I had a single barrel copy of the first gun you showed. It was my boot pistol during my Confederate Cavalry days. It had the trigger removed and I fired it by dropping the hammer. The LeMat was carried by one of my ancestors, General JEB Stuart during the War of Northern Aggressison.
So I hear! Very cool.
Nice stuff. Making someone want to add to the collection 🤠 Keep em rolling. Like your camera staff 🙂
Thanks 👍
And another outstanding job! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!
Ever heard of a Bentwood Volly gun? It's like a shotgun, a rifle, and a Gatling gun had a baby

The Lemat was also some what popular in Europe as well. Great video! How about some scary ghost gun's since that's in the news these days.
Thank you!
I think in Europe was the pinfire version Lemat more popular .
I have heard it was used in the German French war on the French side .
The war happened Anno 1870-1871.

As a gun collector- I found this video fascinating
Thank you!
Nice hearing from Mrs Santee.
Thanks for coming
JEB Stuart carried a LeMat.
Yes
Love these videos on old guns, you just don't see the same level of craftmanship and artistry in modern firearms. And then there's the whole romantic aspect of Old West guns, growing up watching my dad's old VHS tapes with High Chaparral and Gunsmoke and the like, I've definitely developed a certain love for those types of guns and the Old West in general.
Cool!
This was one of my favorites!!
Thank you!
Hey Santee tthe LEMAT'S were .41 caliber 9 shot with a 20 gauge barrel other than that Good job and KEEP'EM COMING
It may have been offered in that but originally it was 36in (9.1mm), .42in (10.7mm)/.44in (11.2mm) ball + 20ga shot. Thanks for commenting
It was also made in 12mm Perrin pinfire cartridges.
The evans repeater
Hmmm.....
@@ArizonaGhostriders helical magazine and high capacity
The gun at the end appears to be a punt gun, designed for mounting in flat bottomed boats that are punted (poled) for shooting ducks on the water in reed beds. The recoil is taken up by the punt moving backwards.
Correct
Fantastically factual and floridly fun filled...to carry on your fabulously fanciful firearms . But seriously a treat as always on a late Saturday evening here in northern Australia. Keep em coming mate.
Thank you! Appreciate you fellers!

I want one
Great request and always top notch work! Getting closer to 100k subs...awesome!
Thank you very much!
Another great episode!
Thank you!
I honestly do wanna get a LeMat revolver
The BIG shotgun shown at the end of the video was called a Punt Gun... used by professional duck / geese hunters on the Sounds of North Carolina and the Chesapeake Bay. They were called "Punt" guns because they were used in the hunters' "punt" boats; a type of low skiff.
One Weapon to much effektive to be allowed !
Correct!

Good One Santee, Cool weapons. Miss Santee was kinda rough on you. Lol. Great video. Thanks My favorite is the pistol with the 20ga.under the barrel.
Haha! Glad you enjoyed
I can't imagine that the Volcanic Pistol was very wieldy or user friendly. Reloading the repeater lever on a pistol can't be easy. Plus, I believe it used some weird "rocket round" which wasn't very popular.
It had problems with the mechanism and escaping gasses I read
I had heard it was extremelly weak!
Practically no stoping power and not much penetration
@@killerkraut9179 Yep. Also it was a pistol that needed two hands for operation. It worked SO much better as a rifle. RDR2 notwithstanding ;-)
Another Fine, In- Fomative, Fancy, Firearm Film! 😃
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you!
harmonica guns (I've handled a 9 shot pinfire) and volley guns (SHOT it twice) are my favs of 'funny guns'
Cool!
I think Yul Brynner used a harmonica gun in Adiós, Sabata.
are by harmonica pistols the balance by shooting really that much of a problem ?
I think about the shifting of the magazin!
