I picked up a brand new Thompson clambered in .45 ACP 3 years ago that came with a 75 round drum and 2 30 rouns stick magazines from a sporting goods store for $1200. I couldn't believe the price on the tag was real! Needless to say I wasn't about to leave the store without it!
I have a modern Calico and it functions flawlessly through all 100 rounds. The gun gets a bad rap but I think a ton of it is due to people not understanding how the magazine tension works. There's a little crank on the back and you put it about 10 cranks for the 50 round and 23 cranks for the 100 round, which keeps the tension up as bullets are fired and the magazine empties. Proper tension is what ensures it doesn't fail to feed as you get low on ammo.
The issue is that the loooooooong helical spring in the magazine wears out. New, they work fine. But as they're used, they become increasingly more unreliable. Sometimes, people will over-crank them to compensate, which furthers the issue.
@@thematt6705 I've had a Calico M-110 in .22lr for around 30 years now, never had an issue with the helical spring wearing out. In fact mine has been nothing but a joy to use. I'd be leaning towards the use of bad ammo, especially for .22, the problems have lessened ever since I stopped using Remington thunderbolts. Remington ammo even fowled up my Ruger 10/22.
I'm speaking as a Disabled US Marine Combat Veteran. The government, the entire government needs to be reorganized and use nothing but that "pesky" US Constitution. And most certainly they are terrified of GHOST.... guns or the correct term 80% firearms. Which are completely legal according to the US Constitution. Even the AFT wrote a determination letter. Keep building, Keep Stacking.
Yeah that 'glorious' constitution which is leading to the US being the only country where every school needs it's own police officers and the way to deal with gun violence is 'having more/bigger guns'.. which is clearly working out really well don't you say 😂 Adding to that, that piece of paper was written at a time where an armed militia would actually be not that much at a disadvantage against a government military... those times have passed long ago, there is no way an armed militia still serves as safeguard against a potential 'tyrannical government'.
@@MarvinWestmaas You ALWAYS get some complete Psychopath taking life even more so in this day and age and you don't need a gun to do it. You speak of these school attacks, if they had not have had guns it would have been knifes or swords or Machettes or even explosives. WAKE the HELL UP the American People have the right under the constitution to arm themselves and protect themselves from threats foreign AND domestic and right now, the threat is DEFINITELY domestic. With the sh*t show going on in the world right now including that Asshole Joe Biden's now ex Government with all his BS America WOULD have been more at risk of falling had he had his way. The ONLY reason he did not overpower every citizen was the fact that the American people ARE armed and are ready to use them. It's one thing sending paid Government thugs into a Quaker community (which Biden did) taking weapons found even though they are supposed to be of placid nature but you try that sh*t with every day people and you will absolutely regret it. Stand firm and tall America, the world is behind you.
Listening to this commentary in the beginning, brought back an actual incident that I experienced. While serving on the NYPD and at the police range in the Bronx NY., I had the opportunity to speak to another patrolman assigned to Emergency Services, I was familiar with several types of firearms as I was a Hunter. He showed me a Thompson Sub-Machine gun, which frankly impressed me. Then he explained its actually more fore show than actual effectiveness. An Ithaca 12ga pump action shotgun loaded with Double O Buck shot (5- 32 cal, balls with each shot) is far more devastating and deadly.
Sorry but the Thompson in the hands of someone that truly knows how to use it, is a devastating firearm, that's why it was used in WW2, more than any pump shotgun, and during prohibition, machine gun Kelly was renown for sweeping the streets clean. Shotguns are great for close combat, but when you need something that does close range work, then switch to longer range work, pick the 45 acp every time
@robertrickett7816 he wasn't saying it wasn't. Sure tomsons put 30 45 acp rounds down range but a oo shotgun shell puts 8 to 12 33 millimeter barings in a fist size area 12 times. Their used to hunt deer. Decent at long range easyer to aim fire and keep on target. In anyone's hands it's a beast. Where as the Thomson on semifire is basically a 1911 with more rounds but alot more weight. The germens thought that pumpaction shotguns should be banned in wwi for a reason. Probably the best home defense weapon.
the Thompson was literally designed for trench warfare, stand in a trench and spray, just like the grease gun, no aiming necessary, it's a crowd control weapon, if you want the crowd to die
@@pcdadd A 12 round shotgun? Firing multiple 33 millimeter projectiles all at once? (Each about 1 1/3" in diameter) Friend, keep reading your blogs and listening to TH-cam experts, such as yourself. You have either erred, which can be forgiven, or you have no blinking idea what you are babbling about. Which is incurable.... You are describing anti-aircraft weaponry, or anti-materisl ammunitions, NOT A 12 GAUGE SHOtGUN Things like facts, and numbers, do matter in this world.
The main reason politicians propose absurd bans that do nothing to prevent crime or increase "public safety"is because they hope people will not care about what they are banning today, but they get to set unconstitutional but legal precedent to initiate bans in the first place that they intend to expand later.
There isn't a single legal precedent in my mind or precedent that says that the government can do anything legally to ban anything that has to do with the Second Amendment anything the government does against the Second Amendment for the states do against the Second Amendment is all the illegal and I feel even if they think about doing something against the Second Amendment it's illegal
We have to stop them from banning anything to do with our 2A. Give them an inch and they'll take 10 miles. They do want to take away our right to protect ourselves from Them.
@krauses4189Its going to cost more than a car to even own and is already probably class 4 or 5 license weapon. So you already need to be pretty wealthy to even consider buying one. “Anti-tank” rifles didnt penetrate sloped armor even from tanks in WW2, thats why 50 cals and other high caliber rifles are classified as “Anti-material” rifles.
@krauses4189 If you think you can disable a modern tank using only an anti material rifles you are out there to begin with. You don’t have to be 6 figures to own a 50 caliber rifle regardless, though the ammo itself is absurdly expensive so you might have to be to use it somewhat regularly. If you think theres some big issue with dudes who live in the middle of nowhere shooting bullets at 20 dollars a shot on their own property, then I think you have a lack of realistic concerns.
@krauses4189 Massive damage to society?? God you must live in a very sheltered world if you think the bullet being larger in a gun makes it a threat to society. As if somebody is going to commit a mass shooting with their 20 thousand dollar 20 pound marksman rifle. Or spent thousands to for paperwork to legally own an automatic M2, while living in one of the like 4-5 american states you can own one. All this and it would cost you about 3000 usd to fire a burst for less than a minute, this is like 5 dollars a bullet. Any urgency to prevent the probably less than 100 people own a fully operational, select fire (full auto) browning M2 50 cal seems like an absolute waste of time. We’ve trusted kids out of high school for almost 100 years to operate military equipment sometimes with MULTIPLE 50 cal weapon systems interconnected. But you don’t trust somebody who has taken all the proper precautions, spent a fortune just to privately own one?
Soon they will usher in some new fake disaster that will convince almost everybody to give up their guns (and they few who don’t will be hunted down like animals by black ops) they will use some false flag or made up deception/disaster like some alien threat/attack that’s not even real or some other bullshit like some fake health thing or (or even release a real disease that they made themselves like a new Covid & then they could only give the good/real vaccine to who they want to live, & could let everyone else die or even give them a tainted vaccine.) never know what it’ll be but they will do it eventually. they’ll make up some false flag and they’ll take control or at least attempt it. Just like how they got away with lying about the gulf of Tonkin/Vietnam, just like how they got away with lying about the Bay of Pigs, the Iran contra, jfk, 911, etc. they are masters of deception. I mean they own the media, they can basically control the common persons thoughts through the media. Don’t be a common person/ NPC. Use discernment. Think for yourself!!! Do some independent research, listen & watch, & read from independent journalists and researchers that are not owned & bought by a certain interest like the main stream media journalists and hosts are. Begin to realize the sketchy things that happen: like Obama’s signing in a law/executive order that made using propaganda/lies as actual US news/media & claiming its real/truth, so after Obama made that executive order/law, they can now make up any propaganda/fake news they want, & feed it to us as if it’s the truth, as if it’s actually the real news & truth but it’s not. Once you learn things like this, you will understand the truth of the matter & begin to question what they tell you- then you’ll begin to look for alternate sources that actually tell you the truth- like from other countries, from independent researchers, etc. you have to dig deep but the truth is out there- but you must use discernment.
I had a good friend that owns a machine shop in Texas city named Ron Freshour. He was designing and building 50 caliber rifles for the military for years. He set some shooting records with them. I recovered the roofs and sides of all of his buildings there in Texas City. He would take homeless guys off the street and let them live there in the shop and teach them to become Machinist.
If you have handled the M2 .50 BMG you know that it can be lugged around, it is not fun but it can be manhandled. Back in 2006, my platoon pissed me off by complaining about carrying the M2 a mile to our MotorPool so being an "Old School" NCO. I picked up the gun and threw it over my shoulder, without the Tripod, and humped it to the MP. I gave my block of instruction to the Sodliers and then told them I carried it here you all are taking it back. I allowed the TM-approved three-man carry method but, I never once got a complaint from them. Where there is a will there is a way. Also, there was s discovery channel show about Soldiers that were in OSUT during September 11th attacks at Fort Knox, where two privates are carrying the M2 to their assigned tank and a Staff Sergeant instructor grabbed it from them one-handed and lifted it up onto the tank to show them how to mount it. There are beasts out there that work with the M2 on a regular basis.
Yeah. Not a huge feat. That's only 84 lbs. 128 lbs with the M3 tripod. In 2013 I'd just leave them together when I'd set up and tear down my EIB site daily by myself for two weeks. I'd hump four of them 200m from the guarded weapons shack to my tent. Just did that same thing last week with a Mk-19 over my shoulder and the M205 tripod in my hand. Last May with two M2A1's training Hungarian and Serbian soldiers. Been doing it for over 18 years now that I think about it. Never really thought it was worth bragging about though.
If there's a book that's banned: That means there's something in it you need to read. If there's a gun that's banned: That means it's one you definitely want to add to your collection.
Sorry to burst your logic (though I do like where your going) there should absolutely be bans on dangerously poor designed guns. Just like a Vehicle, if the thing had a spike pointed at your face, you'd probably make a law about that.. just like after that one celebrity lost an eye to their "Horn" ornament on the steering wheel. Just saying, that and probably a book like some Hellraiser Puzzlebox Necronomicon should be Banned
I almost purchased one when I was young but didn't because I had absolutely no idea where to shoot it. The gun store owner said no range anywhere in the area would allow me to shoot a .50 BMG because it would destroy their ranges. I'm older and still foolish but I still don't know of any places that would allow it to be shot there so it's pointless to buy.
The last time the government banned firearms-related equipment was in 2018. Let's see...who was the president in 2018. Anyone? We already know quite a few people consider "shall not be infringed" to be a sliding rule depending on who is in office and whether the object in question is something said people want/don't want.
True. The name caused them to get noticed along with advertisements saying "It's a jungle out there, this is the cure", as well as "will make your street safe and clean!", "fires 12 rounds in less than 3 seconds" which are quotes from the original posters. Lloyd Bentsen who was the Secretary of the Treasury deemed that it had no sporting purpose, and his reasoning was that there are no sports played in the street with a firearm. The only reason they allow importation or manufacture of firearms with a bore diameter larger than .50" is for "sporting Purposes" for civilians, or Mil/LE purposes. Regardless, It's all BULL$HIT. These only allow 2 3/4" shells, so it's not as powerful as newer semi auto shotguns that accept drums or extended mag tubes that can hold 12 rounds or more. The USAS-12 is also another "Destructive Device" that only allows 2 3/4 shells, but the drums hold 20 rounds. There are still more powerful shotguns that can hold a higher capacity than the USAS as well.
If they were actually concerned about the gun because of the name u would expect them to surely add the improved and much better version on the ban list also... yet.. they haven't..
Lookup the Lady's Home Companion, this was just a Mid format that Politicos who saw that one Hollywood movie recognized and decided to get Good Boy points for Banning.
@@spidergoose891 Doesn't sound as powerful as a 9mm Glock, according to current mythos the Glock 9 can sever men in half and has a fifty round stick. BooOOOooo
"Rules for thee and not for me, layman." "Cheer's to that, gov. Remember, since we don't get to burn the ammo the way the crown does; Our shots have to count." -my extremely drunk friend conversing about this exact topic, maybe.
It's the opposite, and it is the same for every country. For exemple the French lost most of their right to have weapon in 1939, just before most of their governement fled to England and the rest allied themself to the enemy.
The 90s ban didnt stop us from obtaining any of these guns or mags..It just made us pay outrageous prices for them😭🤣 AKs for a thousand bucks,Steyrr black Augs for 5 grand,HK 91s for 2500 etc. The best era to have brought all of these guns was the 1980s..Now most of these guns are sitting in collectors vaults and you rarely see anybody selling one here and there.
"The 90s ban didnt stop us from obtaining any of these guns or mags..It just made us pay outrageous prices for them" yeah, this way the rich can still have THEIR guns but the poor are priced out of the market.
70% drop in mass shootings during the 10 years of the Brady Bill and rising 347% in the 10 years that followed, but don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative.
I got a look at a Street Sweeper---pre-Clinton. It was a roughly finished crude looking POS, with welds that weren't even ground flat. It brought to mind the late WW2 "Volk Sturm" issued to civilians. ------I liked the USAS-12, which was a 12 ga., that looked like a giant AR. I'm too short to properly even shoulder the thing. Clinton & Benson also outlawed that one too. (Benson: "You don't NEED that to hunt ducks." He, like Clinton, Feinstein, Schumer and all the other gun Nazis, was an arrogant self-righteous piss-head).
I saw a photo of a drawing of the prototype in a SOF magazine from the mid 80's. It was codenamed MM1 Multiround Projectile Launcher but it held 20 rounds then and it used any 12 guage round. Buckshot, slugs, tear gas, flasbang and HE.
Hell, they need to worry more about those of us that the military trained, with the knowledge we have in our minds....that's more deadly than any weapon they want to ban.
To be fair the airguns being made now are crazy, saw a 50bmg airgun on a short the other day. But it's still not a "firearm" so either way it's ridiculous
Not really, a lot of them have issues thats why they didn't get the government contracts. Also they have RULES in warfare, if I wound 1, 2 have to drag you off, 5 to keep you going , transportation back,that can't bring supplies to the lines.
I have to say.all Americans have to do is show the public how quick those rounds come out of a semi-automatic gun in 4 seconds it releases every round that's automatic that's not semi they're going to get them banned them they do it the true knowledge of how fast the round come out of these weapon's.no semi-automatic weapon is true that all alive the rounds come out too fast to be other.
Politics be like, "That gun we saw in a video game?.... Ban it, that gun we saw in the movies?... Ban it, that expensive gun which no one can afford? Ban it."
My take on the Thompson M-1929: The stock is too long to shoulder rapidly, the drum mag is difficult to load and jams easily. The M-1 is a good improvement. Gotta love "The Chicago Typewriter".
*LET'S BE CLEAR ON WHY THEY WANT TO DISARM US: “Our main agenda is to have all guns banned of course. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn’t matter if you have to distort facts or even lie.

Gun 'control' has never been about public safety. It's always been for Government / Dictator safety, and the aim isn't to control guns, it's to control populations.

The Barrett M82 is one of my favorite rifles but it kicks like a mule so a lot of people prefer smaller calibers the striker shot gun was one of my favorites but they have a lot better now Tommy guns are fun to shoot but aren't known for their problems there's only one reason for the government to want you not to have certain guns and guns in general and it has nothing to do with peoples safety
This is America, and out government wants to take the right to protect, and yet those who make these laws are surrounded by the weapons that are just as deadly.
In my country people are taught to use firearms with caution and respect. In AMERICA it’s a violation of the SECOND AMENDMENT if every idiot doesn’t own an automatic weapon .
I understand and agree with you 100%. However, you don’t need a tank to mount a .50. Taliban and CAG have been mounting M2s and DSHKs to Toyota Hiluxs since the 80’s. All it takes is some welding and creativity and you’re golden, pony boy.
So-called anti-gunner here. Here's 5 general categories of guns I think should be legal: 1. Pump action shotguns 2. Revolvers 3. Semi-automatic handguns 4. Bolt-action rifles 5. Any other type of gun that couldn't be used, and whose main purpose appears to be, producing large numbers of casualties in very short periods of time. How's that?
@@nadamucho466 2nd amendment:states "shall not be infringed upon.." American citizens should be able to have anything they can afford to buy. . Period, and those who can't shoot or are afraid of everything, let THEM DO WITHOUT, their choice..
>The most powerful rifle available to any civilian - is actually the .950 JD Jones, or 4-bore rifles... But, of course, nobody talks about them, because the Barrett is popular, and there are only a handful of 950's out there, and 4-bores are old-school tech...
11:22 that is 20,000 in today’s prices. A $20 dollar gold piece is about 1oz of gold so 10 ounces in today’s prices is about $20,000. Stop using the price equivalency lies of the government or federal reserve.
You want absurd? what does "high powered rifle" even mean? Is an AR in .22, .223, or .308 each a high powered rifle because the rifle makes the bullet powerful? Is there a such thing as a medium powered rifle? If yes then wouldn't a .223 be a medium powered rifle? and if no, then are you just marketing a scary phrase.
I grew up in Texas , I'm used to firearms, half my family hunts, and/ or collect guns. What about the person who grew up with no hunting tradition, no firearms at home? What you call "anti gunners" are good people who are AFRAID. I used to mock them, now I don't. By the way, THEY are accustomed to many things, WE may not be. The noise, and density of large mega cities would drive me insane (as an example)
There's a distinct difference between someone who doesn't want a firearm because they are apprehensive of it, and someone who doesn't want YOU to have a firearm because they are apprehensive of it. I can hope you figure out which is authoritarianism.
I love guns and anything that makes loud noises tbh but do you guys really need firepower like that? I’m in Australia and our gun laws are pretty strict and as annoying as it is as times we can have any sized gun we need to hunt and that’s all we really need at the end of the day. As a reward for not having easy access to hand guns and automatics we get to send our kids to school without the fear of them being shot 🤷♀️
@bentroeller2447 - NEED the fire power ? No. I'm my case, I'm a collector of knives and pistols / antique or modern. I do see your point to be honest. It's a tough, divisive issue sadly
@fu102 - I absolutely get that point.. but if hypothetically, majority of California says no to the AK-47 , in a referendum...but Texas says Yes...we shouldn't HATE either side. ( I'm sure the Supreme Court will crush Cali , but that's beside the point). States Rights are not a dictatorship. Of course a NATIONAL ban on any weapon...I WOULD OPPOSE
So they don't want us to have those guns but nobody wants them anyway??? So......???? That like telling diabetics that you are banning chocolate. This is dumb.
These guns are banned for the message they represent, whether it be civil anarchy or civil revolution, each of these guns have a pop culture meaning to society and thus could inspire a great portion of people to keep fighting back. This the reason they're going so hard on the AR-15/M4 platform, it has become synonymous with the hero character in games and movies for decades now, and they don't want people getting big ideas.
Um... the absolute fix to people getting those "big ideas" is to stop treating firearms as a "taboo" subject that it essentially is today. Growing up, the "guns" were in a cabinet that was not a SAFE ... it was a DECORATIVE piece of FURNITURE that held your guns... most having a GLASS door with wood frame around it and a so called lock on the door that usually could be turned by ANYTHING you stick in it and and turn.... The ammo was in a sliding drawer at the bottom of the cabinet. NOTHING about the piece of furniture that held the guns was designed to keep ANYONE out of it. We had a TOYBOX FULL of GUNS and the neighbors brought THEIR pile of GUNS and we shot each other 500 times a DAY... and when someone started to "cheat" and never DIE.... pine cones filled in for GRENADES and they couldn't even TRY to deny they been HIT.... If you haven't gotten your first KILL by 10-13 y ears old... you were wierd one.... Any one of us could have taken any one of the guns out of the display case and loaded it and fired it... and most were descent shots... because we were taught how to USE them, SHOOT them... RESPECT them. Each of us absolutely knew 100% the results of pulling the trigger. And you know what? Taking a gun out and bringing it to school and open fire.... I can't even say it was the LAST thing on our minds .... because.... THAT idea never even ENTERED our minds. But we DID have a problem with people bringing guns to school in high school though... and every year the principal came on the intercom to remind everyone it is against the rules/policy to bring guns to school... so please remember to remove your guns from the gun racks in your truck windows becore you leave for school! Every year when hunting season kicked off... a bunch would forget and drive to school wiht their rifles hanging in their windows.... lol., Most kids now...their "education" does not come from being taught how to use/respect them as part of GROWING UP.... their "education" mainly comnes from X-Box or whatever and the shooter games they play.... while the REAL guns have become a "taboo" thing... locked and hidden away if there IS one... and kids getting YELLED at if they even show ANY interest in the gun parents are "hiding' away from them. When they DO manage to get ahold of a real one... they are absolutely CLUELESS their "experience" with guns came from shooting their buddies online... but hey... we shot each other 500 times a day too.... but each of us were TAUGHT to use/respect the REAL ones... In order to be a society with the right to BEAR ARMS... it is ESSENTIAL that the "rite of passage" growing up is to be taught how to BEAR THEM and how to USE THEM/RESPECT them. WIthout the passing down of the "skills" to handle and USE them to the kids... then you get a generation that has neither the SKILL to use them or the RESPECT they demand in order TO US# them. They get the "big idea" because the parents never gave them the "RIGHT idea" in place of the "Big idea".....
#5 I do know a guy that bought an M-82 Barrett in 1989 before the US Military cabbaged on to it. It was running at about $1500.00 then. He was using some $$ that the US Army was giving him and his military history/security clearance/plus a letter from his County Sheriff/SWAT to "smooth the approval" as he was ordering from an APO that is in S. Korea, for delivery in the US. He once told me when he was ordering it, that he wanted to be able to say that he had the biggest gun in the county. #4 NOBODY wants a Calico. ANY Calico. Neat idea but plenty of issues. Although I might in the future purchase one for the parts if I can get it cheap enough. #3 There is a reason that the Street Sweeper was invented in Zimbabwe, and it has plenty of history on that continent, but again, there are much better drum shotguns and even full auto 12ga like the Daewoo USAS-12, which can use either mag or drum. #2 Thompson sub machine guns are a favorite weapon of nearly every soldier that carries one (kind of like the M-1911). It is however hated by the governments that pay for it and the .45 ACP ammo that it uses. Soldiers usually prefer the stick mags though, except in certain circumstances. The US Army used the tommy gun as late as the Vietnam War, and Warren Zevon wrote a song mentioning it being used by mercenaries in the Congo and Biafra wars in Africa (Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner). #1 I have known someone that had an M-2 Heavy Barrel (High School Teacher, I was jealous) and he told me that he only usually fires it once or twice a year. With rounds going for $2.00 each at the time plus he had to buy every link that he could get his hands on and build his own belts, I could understand why. Plus have you ever carried one?! I have! Gun, Two barrels, tripod/tool kit? Wikipedia says 128 lbs, but that is just with one barrel (trust me, take the spare! and don't forget the Asbestos glove and Go/No Go tool!) so in reality closer to 150lbs, and that is without any ammo. I mean, there is a reason that it is vehicle or emplacement mounted, and why there is an assistant gunner usually. There is a reason that it has been in use all over the world since 1933 to the present. GOD I LOVE THAT GUN!!!
@@broncobra I don't actually consider the Calico bad, but the .22 did get a reputation early on for being a bit fiddley and finicky, mostly to do with the helical mag and feed. That reputation has carried on thus why the nobody wants a Calico comment.
The Zimbabwean guy named Walker might have came up with the concept of the Defender/Striker but I actually did all the design draughting work including a hammer safety design so the weapon would pass the 6 foot drop test etc. We also did a 6 shot 40mm ballistite grenade launcher. I also used the exact same grip and trigger design on a 85mm HEAT SLRS (shoulder launch rocket system) that penetrated the T62 armour in the Angolan war. Note: Walker nearly blew his arm off in an explosive accident in Zimbabwe so actually only had the full use of one arm. At the time I was employed as a design draughtsman for a company that was sub-contracted to Armscor, Denel etc.
I have found the Ruger Mini-14 with 76 round drum, using the Hellfire trigger and an illuminated 4-16x scope is the best combat rifle I have owned. By the way. I have not had a problem with the Calico Pistol!
Nothing wrong with the new Calico magazines. All of the “feeding issues“ are because people don’t load them or wind them properly. You have to read and understand the instructions to know how to use them for them to work right. Mine worked flawlessly and the MSRP is cheaper than most new pistols.
I think the American government has realized that Americans need to be told what they cannot have and what they can have when it comes to guns I find that Americans gun practices are very poor they don't have proper laws pertaining to guns I mean most Americans leave their 45 on a kitchen countertop or on the kitchen table or tucked under their pillow at night sleeping with a load of gun is extremely dangerous you really need to have better gun laws in America and you need to be told what guns you can have and what ones you can't

I encountered a pistol so rare that we had difficulty in researching it. It was a "Cabeza de Aguila (Eagle's Head) revolver, six chambers in the cylinder, black anodized aluminum frame, looking like a semi-auto, except with a bright chrome cylinder in it's middle. Ugliest gun I have ever seen. My partner and I told the seller that we were not interested in buying what we described as a 'boat anchor." He responded that his father had purchased it while in the Merchant Marine and that he would sell it to us in 2001 for $10.00. it was such an ugly gun that my partner and I agreed to pay $5.00 each (out of our own pockets!) just to put this pistol on display in our gun store as the "ugliest pistol ever made." My partner and I both moved on from working at that gun store, but this ugly revolver was NOT store inventory so we kept it. We tried to research it but no one knew anything about it (Too rare!). I had a table every month at the Saxet Gun Show, San Antonio, Texas, where I displayed this revolver with a banner that read "Winner of the Ugly Gun Contest four years in a row!" every month for several years. Meanwhile, I learned that it was manufactured in Argentina as some sort of compromise between an anti-gun government and a genuine need for the farmers/ranchers of Argentina who had a legitimate need for a firearm. THIS was a pistol that you could use to put an animal down, but NOT to start a revolution! Chambering was .22 short. The shooter needed to MANUALLY turn the serrated cylinder so that a live round was underneath the firing pin, then pull back on the bolt, (locking it to the rear in 'ready' position), then aim, fire, and repeat. To reload, the cylinder pin was removed and used to poke out the fired casings from the cylinder. A very inefficient process. The entire point of this long discourse is to warn my fellow gun-loving Americans is that if you permit the government to dictate to you what firearms you are "permitted" to own, you might be allowed to have a "Cabeza de Aguila" revolver. Do not allow the government to tell you what you are allowed to own. This is the United States of America and WE TELL THE GOVERNMENT HOW WE CONSENT TO BE RULED! Do not settl for what the government "permits" you to have. Vote THOSE jerks out of trying to CONTROL your life and decisions in the ONLY "Land Of The Free." BTW, my friend and I traded possession of this pistol over the years because it belonged to both of us. It was with my friend when he died. I imagine that his son still owns it.
Americans should be allowed to own tanks and fighter jets. Right to bear "arms" short for armaments meaning any and all military equipment. Purpose? To keep the people equally as powerful as government.
LMAO "auto ordinance had trouble selling tge Thompson machine gun." The way he said that it's almost like deadpan comedy considering the statements right before that. Gun cost 2k+. They had trouble selling them. LMAO!!!
I like guns too but your republican gun loving logic is flawed. Just because a weapon is impractical, expensive, or has design flaws, is not grounds to allow uninhibited ownership. Under your reasoning; rocket launchers, a weapon that has no practical civilian use, should be available for purchase unrestricted. Clearly you can see the folly of this position. I agree with you that the dems are very restrictive regarding guns laws but going to the opposite extreme is obviously not the answer..
I know I just found your channel, but I am curious about a few revolvers that are amazing collectors pieces. Mainly the Mateba Unica Autor-evolver chambered in .454 cassul, along with the Smith an Wesson .500 Magnum Performance Hunter edition (aka bone collector).
I picked up a brand new Thompson clambered in .45 ACP 3 years ago that came with a 75 round drum and 2 30 rouns stick magazines from a sporting goods store for $1200. I couldn't believe the price on the tag was real! Needless to say I wasn't about to leave the store without it!
Really stinks how you lost it in that fishing accident huh?

What you’re describing is a lack of human development, perhaps even personality disorder. You’re the last person that should own a gun.
I call that the forbidden fruit Factor
Exactly
You, me, and countless millions of others dude....
right!?
I have a modern Calico and it functions flawlessly through all 100 rounds. The gun gets a bad rap but I think a ton of it is due to people not understanding how the magazine tension works. There's a little crank on the back and you put it about 10 cranks for the 50 round and 23 cranks for the 100 round, which keeps the tension up as bullets are fired and the magazine empties. Proper tension is what ensures it doesn't fail to feed as you get low on ammo.
check if it runs different ammo, if it feeds well only on some companies ammo, then it deserves criticism it gets (also its just ugly as hell)
@@januleosz9999well then it's a win-win if ugly people got shot with it lol
not an ugly gun AT ALL. I used to own the 50 shot 9mil it was awesome looking. Unfortunately IT had to disappear...@@januleosz9999
The issue is that the loooooooong helical spring in the magazine wears out. New, they work fine. But as they're used, they become increasingly more unreliable. Sometimes, people will over-crank them to compensate, which furthers the issue.
@@thematt6705 I've had a Calico M-110 in .22lr for around 30 years now, never had an issue with the helical spring wearing out. In fact mine has been nothing but a joy to use. I'd be leaning towards the use of bad ammo, especially for .22, the problems have lessened ever since I stopped using Remington thunderbolts. Remington ammo even fowled up my Ruger 10/22.

I'm speaking as a Disabled US Marine Combat Veteran. The government, the entire government needs to be reorganized and use nothing but that "pesky" US Constitution. And most certainly they are terrified of GHOST.... guns or the correct term 80% firearms. Which are completely legal according to the US Constitution. Even the AFT wrote a determination letter. Keep building, Keep Stacking.
Yeah that 'glorious' constitution which is leading to the US being the only country where every school needs it's own police officers and the way to deal with gun violence is 'having more/bigger guns'.. which is clearly working out really well don't you say 😂
Adding to that, that piece of paper was written at a time where an armed militia would actually be not that much at a disadvantage against a government military... those times have passed long ago, there is no way an armed militia still serves as safeguard against a potential 'tyrannical government'.

With the sh*t show going on in the world right now including that Asshole Joe Biden's now ex Government with all his BS America WOULD have been more at risk of falling had he had his way.
The ONLY reason he did not overpower every citizen was the fact that the American people ARE armed and are ready to use them. It's one thing sending paid Government thugs into a Quaker community (which Biden did) taking weapons found even though they are supposed to be of placid nature but you try that sh*t with every day people and you will absolutely regret it.

Listening to this commentary in the beginning, brought back an actual incident that I experienced. While serving on the NYPD and at the police range in the Bronx NY., I had the opportunity to speak to another patrolman assigned to Emergency Services, I was familiar with several types of firearms as I was a Hunter. He showed me a Thompson Sub-Machine gun, which frankly impressed me. Then he explained its actually more fore show than actual effectiveness. An Ithaca 12ga pump action shotgun loaded with Double O Buck shot (5- 32 cal, balls with each shot) is far more devastating and deadly.
Sorry but the Thompson in the hands of someone that truly knows how to use it, is a devastating firearm, that's why it was used in WW2, more than any pump shotgun, and during prohibition, machine gun Kelly was renown for sweeping the streets clean. Shotguns are great for close combat, but when you need something that does close range work, then switch to longer range work, pick the 45 acp every time
@robertrickett7816 he wasn't saying it wasn't. Sure tomsons put 30 45 acp rounds down range but a oo shotgun shell puts 8 to 12 33 millimeter barings in a fist size area 12 times. Their used to hunt deer. Decent at long range easyer to aim fire and keep on target. In anyone's hands it's a beast. Where as the Thomson on semifire is basically a 1911 with more rounds but alot more weight. The germens thought that pumpaction shotguns should be banned in wwi for a reason. Probably the best home defense weapon.
the Thompson was literally designed for trench warfare, stand in a trench and spray, just like the grease gun, no aiming necessary, it's a crowd control weapon, if you want the crowd to die
@@pcdadd
A 12 round shotgun?
Firing multiple 33 millimeter projectiles all at once? (Each about 1 1/3" in diameter)

@@robertrickett7816
You speak the truth.
The main reason politicians propose absurd bans that do nothing to prevent crime or increase "public safety"is because they hope people will not care about what they are banning today, but they get to set unconstitutional but legal precedent to initiate bans in the first place that they intend to expand later.
And the riders that they can put on the Bill.
Ex-fucking-actly!!!!! Well said.
There isn't a single legal precedent in my mind or precedent that says that the government can do anything legally to ban anything that has to do with the Second Amendment anything the government does against the Second Amendment for the states do against the Second Amendment is all the illegal and I feel even if they think about doing something against the Second Amendment it's illegal
More babble!
We have to stop them from banning anything to do with our 2A. Give them an inch and they'll take 10 miles. They do want to take away our right to protect ourselves from Them.
Basically, every single ban is a case of government's overreaction and lack of elemental knowledge.
@krauses4189Its going to cost more than a car to even own and is already probably class 4 or 5 license weapon. So you already need to be pretty wealthy to even consider buying one. “Anti-tank” rifles didnt penetrate sloped armor even from tanks in WW2, thats why 50 cals and other high caliber rifles are classified as “Anti-material” rifles.
@krauses4189 If you think you can disable a modern tank using only an anti material rifles you are out there to begin with. You don’t have to be 6 figures to own a 50 caliber rifle regardless, though the ammo itself is absurdly expensive so you might have to be to use it somewhat regularly. If you think theres some big issue with dudes who live in the middle of nowhere shooting bullets at 20 dollars a shot on their own property, then I think you have a lack of realistic concerns.
@krauses4189 Massive damage to society?? God you must live in a very sheltered world if you think the bullet being larger in a gun makes it a threat to society. As if somebody is going to commit a mass shooting with their 20 thousand dollar 20 pound marksman rifle.
Or spent thousands to for paperwork to legally own an automatic M2, while living in one of the like 4-5 american states you can own one. All this and it would cost you about 3000 usd to fire a burst for less than a minute, this is like 5 dollars a bullet.
Any urgency to prevent the probably less than 100 people own a fully operational, select fire (full auto) browning M2 50 cal seems like an absolute waste of time. We’ve trusted kids out of high school for almost 100 years to operate military equipment sometimes with MULTIPLE 50 cal weapon systems interconnected. But you don’t trust somebody who has taken all the proper precautions, spent a fortune just to privately own one?

@@yungmalariaeveryone knows that if your hunting tanks all you need is a good drone and an explosive rounds. Lol
It's about disarming civilians, not gun control.
This is it. They want total control. Getting the guns is the final step to that total control.
Soon they will usher in some new fake disaster that will convince almost everybody to give up their guns (and they few who don’t will be hunted down like animals by black ops) they will use some false flag or made up deception/disaster like some alien threat/attack that’s not even real or some other bullshit like some fake health thing or (or even release a real disease that they made themselves like a new Covid & then they could only give the good/real vaccine to who they want to live, & could let everyone else die or even give them a tainted vaccine.)
never know what it’ll be but they will do it eventually. they’ll make up some false flag and they’ll take control or at least attempt it. Just like how they got away with lying about the gulf of Tonkin/Vietnam, just like how they got away with lying about the Bay of Pigs, the Iran contra, jfk, 911, etc. they are masters of deception. I mean they own the media, they can basically control the common persons thoughts through the media.
Don’t be a common person/ NPC. Use discernment. Think for yourself!!! Do some independent research, listen & watch, & read from independent journalists and researchers that are not owned & bought by a certain interest like the main stream media journalists and hosts are.
Begin to realize the sketchy things that happen: like Obama’s signing in a law/executive order that made using propaganda/lies as actual US news/media & claiming its real/truth, so after Obama made that executive order/law, they can now make up any propaganda/fake news they want, & feed it to us as if it’s the truth, as if it’s actually the real news & truth but it’s not. Once you learn things like this, you will understand the truth of the matter & begin to question what they tell you- then you’ll begin to look for alternate sources that actually tell you the truth- like from other countries, from independent researchers, etc. you have to dig deep but the truth is out there- but you must use discernment.
@flippy5118yes because civilians don’t have access to the same resources as the military.
Gun control is to disarm you
It's about both, because of total control theory
I had a good friend that owns a machine shop in Texas city named Ron Freshour. He was designing and building 50 caliber rifles for the military for years. He set some shooting records with them. I recovered the roofs and sides of all of his buildings there in Texas City. He would take homeless guys off the street and let them live there in the shop and teach them to become Machinist.

If you have handled the M2 .50 BMG you know that it can be lugged around, it is not fun but it can be manhandled. Back in 2006, my platoon pissed me off by complaining about carrying the M2 a mile to our MotorPool so being an "Old School" NCO. I picked up the gun and threw it over my shoulder, without the Tripod, and humped it to the MP. I gave my block of instruction to the Sodliers and then told them I carried it here you all are taking it back. I allowed the TM-approved three-man carry method but, I never once got a complaint from them. Where there is a will there is a way. Also, there was s discovery channel show about Soldiers that were in OSUT during September 11th attacks at Fort Knox, where two privates are carrying the M2 to their assigned tank and a Staff Sergeant instructor grabbed it from them one-handed and lifted it up onto the tank to show them how to mount it. There are beasts out there that work with the M2 on a regular basis.

@@quadriplegiccreationsyou're*
Yeah. Not a huge feat. That's only 84 lbs. 128 lbs with the M3 tripod. In 2013 I'd just leave them together when I'd set up and tear down my EIB site daily by myself for two weeks. I'd hump four of them 200m from the guarded weapons shack to my tent. Just did that same thing last week with a Mk-19 over my shoulder and the M205 tripod in my hand. Last May with two M2A1's training Hungarian and Serbian soldiers. Been doing it for over 18 years now that I think about it. Never really thought it was worth bragging about though.
@@mattmarzula Thank you for adding to the point of my comment. The M2 can be manhandled by personnel with experience.

I almost purchased one when I was young but didn't because I had absolutely no idea where to shoot it. The gun store owner said no range anywhere in the area would allow me to shoot a .50 BMG because it would destroy their ranges. I'm older and still foolish but I still don't know of any places that would allow it to be shot there so it's pointless to buy.
@@silverdoggg depends on where you live, I have a 1,000 yrd range near me that could handle it.

The last time the government banned firearms-related equipment was in 2018. Let's see...who was the president in 2018. Anyone?
We already know quite a few people consider "shall not be infringed" to be a sliding rule depending on who is in office and whether the object in question is something said people want/don't want.
It was Trump & they stupidly banned bump stocks, which Steven Paddock didn't even use in the Las Vegas shooting incident.
If it wasn't called "The Street Sweeper" it probably would be legal everywhere
True. The name caused them to get noticed along with advertisements saying "It's a jungle out there, this is the cure", as well as "will make your street safe and clean!", "fires 12 rounds in less than 3 seconds" which are quotes from the original posters.
Lloyd Bentsen who was the Secretary of the Treasury deemed that it had no sporting purpose, and his reasoning was that there are no sports played in the street with a firearm. The only reason they allow importation or manufacture of firearms with a bore diameter larger than .50" is for "sporting Purposes" for civilians, or Mil/LE purposes.
Regardless, It's all BULL$HIT. These only allow 2 3/4" shells, so it's not as powerful as newer semi auto shotguns that accept drums or extended mag tubes that can hold 12 rounds or more. The USAS-12 is also another "Destructive Device" that only allows 2 3/4 shells, but the drums hold 20 rounds. There are still more powerful shotguns that can hold a higher capacity than the USAS as well.
If they were actually concerned about the gun because of the name u would expect them to surely add the improved and much better version on the ban list also... yet.. they haven't..
Lookup the Lady's Home Companion, this was just a Mid format that Politicos who saw that one Hollywood movie recognized and decided to get Good Boy points for Banning.

I got a look at a Street Sweeper---pre-Clinton. It was a roughly finished crude looking POS, with welds that weren't even ground flat.

Politics be like, "That gun we saw in a video game?.... Ban it, that gun we saw in the movies?... Ban it, that expensive gun which no one can afford? Ban it."
My take on the Thompson M-1929: The stock is too long to shoulder rapidly, the drum mag is difficult to load and jams easily. The M-1 is a good improvement. Gotta love "The Chicago Typewriter".

I grew up in Texas , I'm used to firearms, half my family hunts, and/ or collect guns. What about the person who grew up with no hunting tradition, no firearms at home? What you call "anti gunners" are good people who are AFRAID. I used to mock them, now I don't. By the way, THEY are accustomed to many things, WE may not be. The noise, and density of large mega cities would drive me insane (as an example)
That's a refreshingly open minded and fair comment, and correct. I applaud you for making it.
There's a distinct difference between someone who doesn't want a firearm because they are apprehensive of it, and someone who doesn't want YOU to have a firearm because they are apprehensive of it. I can hope you figure out which is authoritarianism.
I love guns and anything that makes loud noises tbh but do you guys really need firepower like that? I’m in Australia and our gun laws are pretty strict and as annoying as it is as times we can have any sized gun we need to hunt and that’s all we really need at the end of the day. As a reward for not having easy access to hand guns and automatics we get to send our kids to school without the fear of them being shot 🤷♀️
@bentroeller2447 - NEED the fire power ? No. I'm my case, I'm a collector of knives and pistols / antique or modern. I do see your point to be honest. It's a tough, divisive issue sadly
@fu102 - I absolutely get that point.. but if hypothetically, majority of California says no to the AK-47 , in a referendum...but Texas says Yes...we shouldn't HATE either side. ( I'm sure the Supreme Court will crush Cali , but that's beside the point). States Rights are not a dictatorship. Of course a NATIONAL ban on any weapon...I WOULD OPPOSE
You can do whatever you want with an unarmed country.
Depends on the country. Some are a lot more willing than others to fight back.
came to watch a video about cool guns
kept getting lectures i genuinely dont care about lmao
So they don't want us to have those guns but nobody wants them anyway??? So......???? That like telling diabetics that you are banning chocolate. This is dumb.
These guns are banned for the message they represent, whether it be civil anarchy or civil revolution, each of these guns have a pop culture meaning to society and thus could inspire a great portion of people to keep fighting back.
This the reason they're going so hard on the AR-15/M4 platform, it has become synonymous with the hero character in games and movies for decades now, and they don't want people getting big ideas.
Um... the absolute fix to people getting those "big ideas" is to stop treating firearms as a "taboo" subject that it essentially is today.
Growing up, the "guns" were in a cabinet that was not a SAFE ... it was a DECORATIVE piece of FURNITURE that held your guns... most having a GLASS door with wood frame around it and a so called lock on the door that usually could be turned by ANYTHING you stick in it and and turn.... The ammo was in a sliding drawer at the bottom of the cabinet. NOTHING about the piece of furniture that held the guns was designed to keep ANYONE out of it.
We had a TOYBOX FULL of GUNS and the neighbors brought THEIR pile of GUNS and we shot each other 500 times a DAY... and when someone started to "cheat" and never DIE.... pine cones filled in for GRENADES and they couldn't even TRY to deny they been HIT....
If you haven't gotten your first KILL by 10-13 y ears old... you were wierd one....
Any one of us could have taken any one of the guns out of the display case and loaded it and fired it... and most were descent shots... because we were taught how to USE them, SHOOT them... RESPECT them. Each of us absolutely knew 100% the results of pulling the trigger.
And you know what? Taking a gun out and bringing it to school and open fire.... I can't even say it was the LAST thing on our minds .... because.... THAT idea never even ENTERED our minds.
But we DID have a problem with people bringing guns to school in high school though... and every year the principal came on the intercom to remind everyone it is against the rules/policy to bring guns to school... so please remember to remove your guns from the gun racks in your truck windows becore you leave for school! Every year when hunting season kicked off... a bunch would forget and drive to school wiht their rifles hanging in their windows.... lol.,
Most kids now...their "education" does not come from being taught how to use/respect them as part of GROWING UP.... their "education" mainly comnes from X-Box or whatever and the shooter games they play.... while the REAL guns have become a "taboo" thing... locked and hidden away if there IS one... and kids getting YELLED at if they even show ANY interest in the gun parents are "hiding' away from them.
When they DO manage to get ahold of a real one... they are absolutely CLUELESS their "experience" with guns came from shooting their buddies online... but hey... we shot each other 500 times a day too.... but each of us were TAUGHT to use/respect the REAL ones...
In order to be a society with the right to BEAR ARMS... it is ESSENTIAL that the "rite of passage" growing up is to be taught how to BEAR THEM and how to USE THEM/RESPECT them.
WIthout the passing down of the "skills" to handle and USE them to the kids... then you get a generation that has neither the SKILL to use them or the RESPECT they demand in order TO US# them.
They get the "big idea" because the parents never gave them the "RIGHT idea" in place of the "Big idea".....
Silenced Mac 10 attached to Striker has to be one of the most badass things I've ever seen.
#5 I do know a guy that bought an M-82 Barrett in 1989 before the US Military cabbaged on to it. It was running at about $1500.00 then. He was using some $$ that the US Army was giving him and his military history/security clearance/plus a letter from his County Sheriff/SWAT to "smooth the approval" as he was ordering from an APO that is in S. Korea, for delivery in the US. He once told me when he was ordering it, that he wanted to be able to say that he had the biggest gun in the county. #4 NOBODY wants a Calico. ANY Calico. Neat idea but plenty of issues. Although I might in the future purchase one for the parts if I can get it cheap enough. #3 There is a reason that the Street Sweeper was invented in Zimbabwe, and it has plenty of history on that continent, but again, there are much better drum shotguns and even full auto 12ga like the Daewoo USAS-12, which can use either mag or drum. #2 Thompson sub machine guns are a favorite weapon of nearly every soldier that carries one (kind of like the M-1911). It is however hated by the governments that pay for it and the .45 ACP ammo that it uses. Soldiers usually prefer the stick mags though, except in certain circumstances. The US Army used the tommy gun as late as the Vietnam War, and Warren Zevon wrote a song mentioning it being used by mercenaries in the Congo and Biafra wars in Africa (Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner). #1 I have known someone that had an M-2 Heavy Barrel (High School Teacher, I was jealous) and he told me that he only usually fires it once or twice a year. With rounds going for $2.00 each at the time plus he had to buy every link that he could get his hands on and build his own belts, I could understand why. Plus have you ever carried one?! I have! Gun, Two barrels, tripod/tool kit? Wikipedia says 128 lbs, but that is just with one barrel (trust me, take the spare! and don't forget the Asbestos glove and Go/No Go tool!) so in reality closer to 150lbs, and that is without any ammo. I mean, there is a reason that it is vehicle or emplacement mounted, and why there is an assistant gunner usually. There is a reason that it has been in use all over the world since 1933 to the present. GOD I LOVE THAT GUN!!!
The Calico is actually a fine weapon. 9mm. Carbine. I owned one back in the 80's. They are still in business.
@@broncobra I don't actually consider the Calico bad, but the .22 did get a reputation early on for being a bit fiddley and finicky, mostly to do with the helical mag and feed. That reputation has carried on thus why the nobody wants a Calico comment.

I met this dude on telegram he sells all kinds of guns I copped my first ever Glock 17 off him
Homeboy called the tommy gun a “light weight sub machine gun.” 😂
thing weighs like 20ilbs!
There was also a version of the streetsweeper called the ladys home companion that was chambered in 45-70
Also in 45LC, which also allowed the use of .410 shotgun shells.
They should make one chambered in 45-120.
Forget the govt., your fellow citizens like me are also smart enough you don't need these.
The Zimbabwean guy named Walker might have came up with the concept of the Defender/Striker but I actually did all the design draughting work including a hammer safety design so the weapon would pass the 6 foot drop test etc. We also did a 6 shot 40mm ballistite grenade launcher. I also used the exact same grip and trigger design on a 85mm HEAT SLRS (shoulder launch rocket system) that penetrated the T62 armour in the Angolan war. Note: Walker nearly blew his arm off in an explosive accident in Zimbabwe so actually only had the full use of one arm. At the time I was employed as a design draughtsman for a company that was sub-contracted to Armscor, Denel etc.
Were you alive when it was Rhodesia?
@@NateB Of course I was and I'm still kicking along albeit at a slower pace as I'm in my 70's now
HAHAHAHA, least we forget the Calico's appearance in... SPACEBALLS
Shall not be infringed upon
🤔🫡
No civilian needs a military grade fire arm!!! Like what fucking war are YOU fighting? 😂
Wait and find out
Not sure why any civilian NEEDS an anti-materiel rifle in this day & age. But you do you!
I have found the Ruger Mini-14 with 76 round drum, using the Hellfire trigger and an illuminated 4-16x scope is the best combat rifle I have owned. By the way. I have not had a problem with the Calico Pistol!
It amazes me how people who have no idea about firearms want to regulate them and the people who don’t about them just agree with them
Those are “things” that require great responsibility…
Which is why politicians shouldn't be allowed to own guns or have constitutional rights.
Remember "gun control" has nothing to do with guns, it's all about control.....
And all laws and "rules" are unconstitutional af!
Get rid of the guns and their free to take control. Definition of gun control.

If they ban the 400 year old "toys" then Unironically *Soon*
You don't need anything other than an umbrella and a glass jar of juice.
King George did not want us to have them either.
As Ron White once said, "You can't fix stupid". Better safe than dead.
Nothing wrong with the new Calico magazines. All of the “feeding issues“ are because people don’t load them or wind them properly. You have to read and understand the instructions to know how to use them for them to work right. Mine worked flawlessly and the MSRP is cheaper than most new pistols.
I think the American government has realized that Americans need to be told what they cannot have and what they can have when it comes to guns I find that Americans gun practices are very poor they don't have proper laws pertaining to guns I mean most Americans leave their 45 on a kitchen countertop or on the kitchen table or tucked under their pillow at night sleeping with a load of gun is extremely dangerous you really need to have better gun laws in America and you need to be told what guns you can have and what ones you can't
Last I checked I am a GOD fearing American I HAVE the right to bear arms
Ah yes, Hilton R. Walker, a VERY Zimbabwean sounding name. (Spoilers: He was Rhodesian.)
I kinda feel like making my own guns now

I honestly thought this was satire for the first thirty seconds lmao you guys crack me up
Cool guns though!
I encountered a pistol so rare that we had difficulty in researching it. It was a "Cabeza de Aguila (Eagle's Head) revolver, six chambers in the cylinder, black anodized aluminum frame, looking like a semi-auto, except with a bright chrome cylinder in it's middle. Ugliest gun I have ever seen. My partner and I told the seller that we were not interested in buying what we described as a 'boat anchor." He responded that his father had purchased it while in the Merchant Marine and that he would sell it to us in 2001 for $10.00. it was such an ugly gun that my partner and I agreed to pay $5.00 each (out of our own pockets!) just to put this pistol on display in our gun store as the "ugliest pistol ever made." My partner and I both moved on from working at that gun store, but this ugly revolver was NOT store inventory so we kept it. We tried to research it but no one knew anything about it (Too rare!). I had a table every month at the Saxet Gun Show, San Antonio, Texas, where I displayed this revolver with a banner that read "Winner of the Ugly Gun Contest four years in a row!" every month for several years. Meanwhile, I learned that it was manufactured in Argentina as some sort of compromise between an anti-gun government and a genuine need for the farmers/ranchers of Argentina who had a legitimate need for a firearm. THIS was a pistol that you could use to put an animal down, but NOT to start a revolution! Chambering was .22 short. The shooter needed to MANUALLY turn the serrated cylinder so that a live round was underneath the firing pin, then pull back on the bolt, (locking it to the rear in 'ready' position), then aim, fire, and repeat. To reload, the cylinder pin was removed and used to poke out the fired casings from the cylinder. A very inefficient process. The entire point of this long discourse is to warn my fellow gun-loving Americans is that if you permit the government to dictate to you what firearms you are "permitted" to own, you might be allowed to have a "Cabeza de Aguila" revolver. Do not allow the government to tell you what you are allowed to own. This is the United States of America and WE TELL THE GOVERNMENT HOW WE CONSENT TO BE RULED! Do not settl for what the government "permits" you to have. Vote THOSE jerks out of trying to CONTROL your life and decisions in the ONLY "Land Of The Free."
BTW, my friend and I traded possession of this pistol over the years because it belonged to both of us. It was with my friend when he died. I imagine that his son still owns it.
Americans should be allowed to own tanks and fighter jets. Right to bear "arms" short for armaments meaning any and all military equipment. Purpose? To keep the people equally as powerful as government.
FJB!
FTG! (Fuck the Government)
LMAO "auto ordinance had trouble selling tge Thompson machine gun." The way he said that it's almost like deadpan comedy considering the statements right before that. Gun cost 2k+. They had trouble selling them. LMAO!!!
I like guns too but your republican gun loving logic is flawed. Just because a weapon is impractical, expensive, or has design flaws, is not grounds to allow uninhibited ownership. Under your reasoning; rocket launchers, a weapon that has no practical civilian use, should be available for purchase unrestricted. Clearly you can see the folly of this position. I agree with you that the dems are very restrictive regarding guns laws but going to the opposite extreme is obviously not the answer..
Calico firearm was also used in Space-balls, that's why the government doesn't want you to have one 😂.
I know I just found your channel, but I am curious about a few revolvers that are amazing collectors pieces. Mainly the Mateba Unica Autor-evolver chambered in .454 cassul, along with the Smith an Wesson .500 Magnum Performance Hunter edition (aka bone collector).
Box cutters?
Dont you mean our own government?
Exactly
