I’ve thought about this a lot. Some people who may still use the word “ruffian” might’ve fought in the Second World War or some other war. Wouldn’t this objectively mean they could have more valuable stuff since the Second World War taught them to be more careful. Eventually they could become a hoarder and with that collect more items. Said items will increase in value over the years so wouldn’t a robber want to rob a house like that. Note: this is only theoretical, many factors can change this I.e. being in America or Britain during Ww2 or not becoming a hoarder, so this is only if these specific standards are met

A golf ball sized hole could be refering to the exit wound. Since high velocities means a bigger exit wound. A musket at point blank range would be devastating
@@DynoSkrimisher Your premise is sound, but I think your conclusion is flawed. I don't think 1000 fps is enough to increase the exit wound that much - more like 3 times that much (the velocity of a round from a modern "small caliber, high velocity" round). Even then, spin speed and shape are really important - a (relatively) slow spin speed and a modern, needle-nosed shape (usually called a "Spitzer tip" among gun folks) is also necessary. An M-16 with a low rifle twist rate will cause that devastating exit wound, while one with a high twist rate will punch clean through (which is more suitable for dealing with armor). A musket ball is likely too slow and wrongly shaped to create that effect. That said, it's my understanding that the soft lead should "pancake" a little bit, so the wound would be a bit bigger (but not golf-ball sized) Take all that with a grain of salt, by the way, that is my current understanding, though I'm not a ballistics expert or anything like that. (BTW, I only know that much since I'm a military history buff, and I have no intention to ever own a firearm for self-defense - I don't even consider myself a "gun person.") EDIT: I've noticed some other people in the comments citing historical sources claiming "fist-sized wounds" at close ranges, such as during the Boston Massacre. My analysis might be off, but I must stress that - if it is - it's likely due to me underestimating the effects of what I called "pancaking."
If I recall correctly, your founding fathers used the word "arms" and not specifically the "muskets", so that tells me their intentions were that you the people had the right to bear arms up to date... Heck I guess they gave it a lot of thought, thinking like "Muskets and cannons made bows and catapults obsolete, we need to make this the most general possible", so that means you could own blasters and plasma rifles when the time comes.

Musket speeds were as low as 340 fps and relied on Hardcast and mass to punch through 45 acp ball rounds are generally subsonic at 840 fps and will hardly deform on impact. Hollow points will expand to create a larger hole
Also, because of the way a bullet can tumble, break apart, and separate after hitting the target, while the target's internal organs can be ripped out of place due to the bullet fragments transferring a fraction of the original kinetic energy, the entry wound of a bullet can be larger or smaller than the exit wound (depending on the caliber of the bullet, the design of the bullet, the amount of kinetic energy lost entering the target, the way the bullet interacts with the internal components within the target, and the amount of kinetic energy required to exit the target). For example, just look at how shotgun cartridges work: the individual pieces of metal stored within a shotgun cartridge are often more than 10x smaller than even musket balls (depending on what kind of shot is being used and the caliber of the gun, with "grapeshot"/"birdshot" often being the smallest individual pellet size for the caliber, while "slug" rounds are usually large enough to completely fill the entire shotgun barrel on their own), but shotgun wounds almost universally have FAR BIGGER exit wounds than the entry wounds.
@@hsheheishje9649 objection, rifles and muskets are two different things, a musket has a smooth bore where a rifle has a rifled bore, this means there are a series of spiraling grooves inside a rifle bore which cause the projectile to spin, resulting in a stabilized projectile and much longer range.

The fact that he just admitted all of this in a public court session means that his actions will be considered premeditated rather than self-defense (especially the death threat against his neighbor's dog, the installation of a cannon at the top of his stairs, and his refusal to perform any first aid on any of the 4 intruders), so he'd go to prison like any other serial killer. It's basically the same reason why it's illegal to set up Home-Alone-style boobytraps in your house/property.
I thought the reason for Home Alone boobytraps being illegal was that they have no real way to tell friend from foe and are therefore more likely to kill your neighbor's overcurious kid than any burglar.

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Fun fact, any weapon designed before 1899 is no longer considered a firearm by federal law, so even if you are underage, a felon, mentally ill, or otherwise barred from.owning a gun, owning a musket is 100% legal.
This was actually a legit tactic back in the days of black powder firearms. Sometimes a warrior would carry an entire belt of pistols if he could afford it.

@@jeffbenton6183 well yeah, if you're using 21st century medicine they're not, but to a field medic in the trenches of WW1 they are next to impossible to stitch
@@lukivanknobi5428 What I've heard is that it was actually quite easy for a Napoleonic-era medic to treat a triangular-shaped bayonet wound, and that it wasn't is a myth. 100 years later (in WWI) such bayonets were obsolete, being replaced by the modern knife-style bayonet (not to be confused with the earlier and impractical sword-type bayonet). In any case, I'm not sure how well my memory serves, I'll try to do more research on this and get back to you.
@@lukivanknobi5428 I found it: In this video, the presenter cites a primary source from an actual US Civil War surgeon detailing the treatment of two bayonet wounds, th-cam.com/video/jszNi57T-Fg/w-d-xo.html Though the presenter is a reenactor, I don't argue from his authority (as he mentions *many* reenactors believe this myth and that's probably why so many of us non-reenactors also believe it). However, understanding the primary source is the part that's actually important. All history is done by studying the primary sources, analyzing them critically (as well as whatever knowledge that can be gleaned from archeology). As I mentioned, it's worth noting that this was the mid-19th century, not "the Napoleonic era" (i.e. early 19th century), however the techniques were mostly the same, and there was something interesting I noted from the doctor's account. He speaks of the effects of bayonet wounds being somewhat of a "mystery" for his profession, and I have two hypotheses for why that was the case: First, far fewer people in the "gunpower age" were stabbed by bayonets than shot. This is because bayonets weren't meant to kill people - obviously, they were *designed* to kill, but that wasn't their *purpose* on the battlefield. To win battles, you need to break up enemy formations. The most sure-fire way to do that is to terrify the men who compose them to the point that the scatter instead of conducting an orderly retreat. Prior to the invention of the rifle-musket, the purpose of the line infantry musket (and the skirmishers' rifle) was to weaken the enemy, but it was the bayonet charge that would actually break the enemy. Standing in place while a horde of screaming men with giant stabby-things are running at you is much more psychologically difficult to do than to stand in place while being shot at. Since bayonets were such an effective psychological weapon, it was rare for a soldier to ever get hit with one (this is mentioned in several primary sources and is also backed up by archeological evidence). The second reason is probably where people would get hit with bayonets. Soldiers were trained to aim near the middle of the chest while they were running into their target. Meanwhile, you know how inaccurate muskets could be. If you were hit by a bayonet, then you were much more likely to get hit in a vital spot than a person who was only hit with a musket ball. All this suggests to me that part of the origin of this myth is just how few bayonet wounds were treated, and people assuming that this was because it just wasn't possible, when in fact it wasn't. Then again, the real reason is probably that people see how weird a triangular bayonet looks to them (since we have no reason to make blades that look like that anymore) and we make assumptions about how lethal they were, rather than think about the mere practical advantages that a triangular spike would have over a "sword bayonet" or a cylindrically shaped spike.
I have a grenade, so I like this plan. I pull the pin, throw it at the skull of the first man. He does down, and the rest back off In horror of immediate danger of shrapnel ending their miserable existence. But here's the thing. It ain't gonna explode, there's no gunpowder in it. So then I take my kakuna plushie with a dumbell in it and chuck it at the second man. He goes down as well. This gives me enough time to pull out my makeshift spear (knife on a few big bamboo sticks and stay on the top of the stairs, stabbing down. Foolproof lol
Best part is that stitching up a wound isn't a part of first aid and therefore your aren't "allowed"/required to do so. Which means you cannot get in trouble for not stitching it, but you still have to provide basic first aid if you want to increase your chances of staying out of jail/prison.
I like to imagine that there is someone in court rn for the use of inconventional home defence weapons, and even tho he defended his house, he fuked them up so badly that ppl are concerned
actually kentucky long rifles do blow gold ball sized wholes due to the exit wound and also bayonets that are triangualar if used properly will be impossible to stitch due to the twist, push, and pull of it. which would make more than just a triangle wound it would butcher the persons insides as well as outer part of body which would require inner body stitching then burning the surface wound. oh and just fyi if it were a normal musket and not the kentucky rifle it would blow a 3 sized fist wound due to the calaber of the round being ether 50 60 or more.
Ace McDaniel (My Ace Attorney character): If I'm robbing a dude and he calls me a 'Ruffian", I'm walking out the front door while "F**k this s**t I'm out" is playing, I'm dead serious.
The fact that most times musketballs hit someone, they wouldn't even die. If anyone died, itd be the people behind the person who was initially shot as it will stay inside the person and infect them. That's what happened at the Boston massacre.
This is very untrue. Who would use a weapon that didn’t kill anyone up until the age of post World War II, when we figured that forcing them to deal with wounded was better. Also, muskets, hitting the chest, caused massive body cavity wounds due to air expansion and the tumbling effect of the musket ball, even barring hatred rounds like putting a nail in the round or carving a cross into it so it shatters inside the body.
I swear I've heard or read Wright's plan somewhere before near verbatim (maybe it's a copypasta?), and the revision in this context was somehow just as, if not more, funny
I need to update my knowledge of muskets lol.

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Maya: asks a reasonable question

Incredible, you took an already hilarious meme and made it funnier.
“Why the hell do you own a powdered wig?!”
I'm smiling so hard right now
Just like our founding fathers intended
Objection! some wall gun muskets had a diameter of a golf ball
and the exit wound is even bigger.
a musket barrel doesnt even have a diameter of 42.67 diameters
unless it's a blunderbuss hand cannon
I literally love how many different edits of this one joke there is.
objection! a blunderbuss is a way black powder firearm for home defense its the shotgun of muskets
Man it's like trying to make sense of Russian badger logic. XD
I left a like and subscribed, just as the founding fathers intended.
Seeing this greentext ace attorney'd was great.
"A musket barrel doesn't even have a diameter of 42.67 diameters"
Good observation, von Karma
You can tell she was really using 100% of her brain when she figured that out.
Fun fact, any weapon designed before 1899 is no longer considered a firearm by federal law, so even if you are underage, a felon, mentally ill, or otherwise barred from.owning a gun, owning a musket is 100% legal.
So I can own a Gewehr 1898?
God bless these 13 colonies of Japanifornia.
“A musket barrel doesn’t even have a diameter of 42.67 diameters”
Daily reminder that the founding fathers wanted the people to be armed with cannons and galleons if they could afford it.
Bullet exit wounds are larger on average, especially 45cal-65cal musket ammunition is equivalent to getting shot with a 12 gauge slug
Holy shit man. My two favourite things.
Just use a railgun that has a 162mm diameter. Problem solved.
Just as the founding fathers intended
I love how so fucking confident Phoenix was when explaining the pistol part
This is good it really deserves more than just 680 views!
Edgeworth calls Phoenix insane despite using fucking Quora.
GarandThumb definitely showed that Muskets will blow softball size holes in targets 😂😂
Phoenix is spiitng fax 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This might be the hardest I've laughed in quite a while 😂
Firearm projectiles expand, thus bullet holes are often larger than the projectiles that cause them
His logic is flawless, his reasoning beyond reproach. I am with Phoenix on this one.
"How big the hole is doesn't even matter anymore" is my favorite quote so far.
It’s a plan so crazy and unexpected that it might just work.
See this is why I have 14 black powder pistols. Why reload when you can grab a new gun?
Switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading.
This was actually a legit tactic back in the days of black powder firearms. Sometimes a warrior would carry an entire belt of pistols if he could afford it.
@@1337m4n black beard the pirate had at least 6 pistols on him at a time
This was great, well done
Imagine a rifled musket
He wouldn't have missed the ruffian and nailed the neighbors dog
Kentucky Long Rifle
@@themooseisloose111 Technically not a musket (but he did refer to "Kentucky musket", so maybe that's what he meant)
Perfection
according to qoura XD
This might be my favorite one. The objections were beautiful
I don't understand if the Ruffians were invading a house or a goddamn castle .
I thought he was gonna find a way to implement slavery lmao
"My 5 slaves, armed with daggers, will charge one of those ruffians and chop him to bits."
Absolutely beautiful
Buying a cannon for home defense is exactly what the founding fathers intended. Especially affixing bayonet.
*Inserts footage of a flintlock rifle decapitating a ballistics gel dummy including synthetic bones*
Laughed so hard I almost choked on my choccy milk I love this
This feels like when you need more words on an essay
A masterpiece
Breaking into a house and seeing a guy pointing a musket at you and having a flintlock pistol to his side is already enough to get the fuck out of there
He forgot he’s not In America but japan
After watching Garand Thumb’s video on flintlock rifles, even the ruffians are gonna wish I would use a modern weapon.
For the people asking for what video it is, “ballin, but at what cost?”
You can thank me later.
Objection! Bayonets causing triangular wounds have been outlawed by the Geneva convention and using them is a war crime
Is that really true? I've heard that triangular wounds aren't actually that hard to treat.
@@jeffbenton6183 well yeah, if you're using 21st century medicine they're not, but to a field medic in the trenches of WW1 they are next to impossible to stitch
@@lukivanknobi5428 What I've heard is that it was actually quite easy for a Napoleonic-era medic to treat a triangular-shaped bayonet wound, and that it wasn't is a myth. 100 years later (in WWI) such bayonets were obsolete, being replaced by the modern knife-style bayonet (not to be confused with the earlier and impractical sword-type bayonet).
In any case, I'm not sure how well my memory serves, I'll try to do more research on this and get back to you.
@@lukivanknobi5428 I found it:
In this video, the presenter cites a primary source from an actual US Civil War surgeon detailing the treatment of two bayonet wounds,
th-cam.com/video/jszNi57T-Fg/w-d-xo.html
Though the presenter is a reenactor, I don't argue from his authority (as he mentions *many* reenactors believe this myth and that's probably why so many of us non-reenactors also believe it). However, understanding the primary source is the part that's actually important. All history is done by studying the primary sources, analyzing them critically (as well as whatever knowledge that can be gleaned from archeology).
As I mentioned, it's worth noting that this was the mid-19th century, not "the Napoleonic era" (i.e. early 19th century), however the techniques were mostly the same, and there was something interesting I noted from the doctor's account. He speaks of the effects of bayonet wounds being somewhat of a "mystery" for his profession, and I have two hypotheses for why that was the case:
First, far fewer people in the "gunpower age" were stabbed by bayonets than shot. This is because bayonets weren't meant to kill people - obviously, they were *designed* to kill, but that wasn't their *purpose* on the battlefield. To win battles, you need to break up enemy formations. The most sure-fire way to do that is to terrify the men who compose them to the point that the scatter instead of conducting an orderly retreat. Prior to the invention of the rifle-musket, the purpose of the line infantry musket (and the skirmishers' rifle) was to weaken the enemy, but it was the bayonet charge that would actually break the enemy. Standing in place while a horde of screaming men with giant stabby-things are running at you is much more psychologically difficult to do than to stand in place while being shot at. Since bayonets were such an effective psychological weapon, it was rare for a soldier to ever get hit with one (this is mentioned in several primary sources and is also backed up by archeological evidence).
The second reason is probably where people would get hit with bayonets. Soldiers were trained to aim near the middle of the chest while they were running into their target. Meanwhile, you know how inaccurate muskets could be. If you were hit by a bayonet, then you were much more likely to get hit in a vital spot than a person who was only hit with a musket ball.
All this suggests to me that part of the origin of this myth is just how few bayonet wounds were treated, and people assuming that this was because it just wasn't possible, when in fact it wasn't. Then again, the real reason is probably that people see how weird a triangular bayonet looks to them (since we have no reason to make blades that look like that anymore) and we make assumptions about how lethal they were, rather than think about the mere practical advantages that a triangular spike would have over a "sword bayonet" or a cylindrically shaped spike.
I was expecting Edgeworth to object with "What the Devil???"
I have a grenade, so I like this plan. I pull the pin, throw it at the skull of the first man. He does down, and the rest back off In horror of immediate danger of shrapnel ending their miserable existence. But here's the thing. It ain't gonna explode, there's no gunpowder in it.
So then I take my kakuna plushie with a dumbell in it and chuck it at the second man. He goes down as well. This gives me enough time to pull out my makeshift spear (knife on a few big bamboo sticks and stay on the top of the stairs, stabbing down.
Foolproof lol
Great video btw, could not stop laughing. A very rare occasion for that to happen.
Now i need a musket just as the founding fathers intended
I told this to my brother as my home defense plan, and he's now scared of me.
He's 5 years older than me.
Man's got a point
lads, I reckon it's destiny I acquire thy musket and thou cannon
Phoenix: “Oh god! The ruffians are here!”
Best part is that stitching up a wound isn't a part of first aid and therefore your aren't "allowed"/required to do so. Which means you cannot get in trouble for not stitching it, but you still have to provide basic first aid if you want to increase your chances of staying out of jail/prison.
“Part of your plan is to keep an already loaded musket, flintlock pistol and cannon?”
This meme is everywhere lol
I would like to call The Russian Badger to the witness stand
Glad the ending talked about the “triangular bayonet wound” thing being a myth.
FRICKING OFFICER MARSHALL'S THEME BRO🤣🤣🤣🤣
It feels so fkin weird seeing Faux Cares suddenly going full yankee when all I know Ace Attorney for are the French Baguette Inteligence videos
Never have I laughed so much at a video with no audible dialogue in it.
3:18 Ah yes, my dear Edgeworth, that's truly the most trustworthy source for your informations there is......Quora.
I like to imagine that there is someone in court rn for the use of inconventional home defence weapons, and even tho he defended his house, he fuked them up so badly that ppl are concerned
Jokes on you I have a musket as a weapon to invade houses
I can relate to phoenix, but only in the fact that there’s a cannon on my stairs
actually kentucky long rifles do blow gold ball sized wholes due to the exit wound and also bayonets that are triangualar if used properly will be impossible to stitch due to the twist, push, and pull of it. which would make more than just a triangle wound it would butcher the persons insides as well as outer part of body which would require inner body stitching then burning the surface wound. oh and just fyi if it were a normal musket and not the kentucky rifle it would blow a 3 sized fist wound due to the calaber of the round being ether 50 60 or more.
Ace McDaniel (My Ace Attorney character): If I'm robbing a dude and he calls me a 'Ruffian", I'm walking out the front door while "F**k this s**t I'm out" is playing, I'm dead serious.
The fact that most times musketballs hit someone, they wouldn't even die. If anyone died, itd be the people behind the person who was initially shot as it will stay inside the person and infect them. That's what happened at the Boston massacre.
This is very untrue. Who would use a weapon that didn’t kill anyone up until the age of post World War II, when we figured that forcing them to deal with wounded was better. Also, muskets, hitting the chest, caused massive body cavity wounds due to air expansion and the tumbling effect of the musket ball, even barring hatred rounds like putting a nail in the round or carving a cross into it so it shatters inside the body.
I love this
Best copy pasta ever btw
I swear I've heard or read Wright's plan somewhere before near verbatim (maybe it's a copypasta?), and the revision in this context was somehow just as, if not more, funny
