"The effects on a human body are ergonomic too, but they interact with the body at much higher speeds." Wow. That was good.
My erection at this statement is both professional and palpable.
'More recent gun, like this Bodeo.'
I'll take 'Phrases that can only been said on C&Rsenal, Alex.'
That reminds me how I, a Beatles fan, always giggle when someone says "I listen to old music too - like, even the 90's!"
(Just to be clear, I don't consider *my* music particularly old, I keep in mind classical stuff too.)
@@vaclav_fejt try listening to some old Mozart played with harpsichord instead of piano. It’s wild and more like rag-time jazz then it has any reason to be expected.
@@john-paulsilke893 I will, thanks for the tip. :)
@@vaclav_fejt Most of Mozart's works were written for the harpsichord. The rest was for the "proto-piano" called the fortepiano. It was the new "hot" thing. Even so Mozart did like to write his music for the harpsichord.
@@davidmiller9485 it doesn’t even sound like the same music to those of us without the ear for music. It’s kinda discordant and the creepy to brightness effects are very interesting.
I have to admit that I'm kinda disappointed that the patented plastic pokey hasn't made an appearance. You've gone all big time with a fancy brass pokey now.
I'm sure it's for environmental reasons ^^
"You've gone all big time with a fancy brass pokey now."
You mean his Pointy Pick Pokey?
I have to put my patented plastic pokey tee shirt up for sale.
We will know he has hit the big time when he has a diamond encrusted platinum pokey.
Yep high tech and won't scratch just like the plastic pokey.
I was at a gun show last Saturday and when I got home I watched a C&Rsenal video and had to question whether or not i saw Othais at the show. So Othais if it was you who gave brief advice about a carcano to some random guy last weekend it was me and I thank you 🙏
Yeah man.
I was just rewatching the old “101” videos earlier today and was thinking to myself, “I can’t wait to see what they do next.” Thanks again, for all you do.
Ooo ok
GRUG HAVE NEWFOUND APPRECIATION FOR COMPLEXITY OF SPINNY BOOM STICK
Is that a Scott pilgrim pfp?
If only Browning would have made a revolver design so everything could be based on it. Then we would only need to know one :p
And all of the embarrassment saved for historians and writers of fiction who have regularly referred in published works to ’Browning revolvers.’
@@jonrolfson1686 No, that is the only reason why we are glad he didn't, I got mercy for folks that get fine points wrong (as long as they ain't snobby about it, but people that don't even think to try, let them be flogged outta town, haha
Y'all can NOT do this to me this late. I've got to sleep.
Sleep is for the weak! And people who have jobs...
However for people like me, who only works nights, it's perfect!
As an Air Force Weapons Instructor back when we still carried wheel guns, I've been into the guts of an S&W Model 15 and 10. Amazed to see the differences in many of these others you've shown here. It also answered some of the questions I'd always had about some of the internal parts and why they were designed the way they were.
Colt Viper anyone? Anyone?
@@michaelrobbins6694how 'bout a .22 rimfire Copperhead?
I feel like this could be shown in a college or vocation gunsmithing course. Thanks Othias and Mae appreciate your hard work.
I am a Gunsmith, and while I won't likely learn anything new at my current stage, I can confidently agree. I believe that this channel is a great resource for learning gun designs generally. If I could go back in time with videos from this channel and give it to younger me I would.
The top comment on the remake gewehr 98 video is someone saying just that- 2 videos are recommended course material for a gunsmithing course somewhere.
@@ericmckinley7985❤❤
@@Urstahlusing these videos for this very purpose. This is way more complicated than everyone thinks. It's amazing gunsmiths don't make much money.

Y'all were worried what happens once Crozier has to retire from his role as mascot, but there's a ton of people already losing it because the patented plastic pokey was replaced. I can see now why you were worried.
I've been tossing around in my head the idea of the most elegant but feature-rich gate-loader possible; Abadie system, single v-spring for hammer, arm and trigger, cylinder stop both ways, hammer rebound, toolless, no small parts disassembly, etc.
Conversely, I've also been thinking of the most overcomplicated gate-loader possible, with automatic ejection, gas seal, semi-auto operation and other such lunacy. Because I'm weird like that.
Mateba Sei Unica for the win.
I think the Rast and Gasser is probably the most feature rich gate loader.
Yeah, I been trying to think up a viable, semi auto BP, but center fired brass cartridge thingy, preferably like a carbine/universal rifle length, really hard to do, haha. It’d have to be centered on a long recoil action at heart, cause the whole powder fouling thing, especially when exposed to extra air as it’s still burning, it’d need a delay system too for unlocking and cycling the bolt, along with some kind of bore evacuator like tanks…that could be cleaned with the throw of a spring loaded lever, so it would work….so complicated. Think I got it worked out, just need to draw up and think more, make a basic, non firing model, to test various parts.
The Colt at the 3:00 minute mark….you teasing sons of biscuits!
Also, I think that was my favorite opening of the series.
Some good eye candy there!
Some nice revolver work ASMR in that intro.
Thank God for C&Rsenal, my workday started with one of those "We just remembered that this needed to happen last friday" assignments, it's going to be much more bearable now.
I like the part with the revolver.
I liked the revolver with parts.
@@keithklassen5320 😁 I came looking for this comment. Sarcasm may be the poorest form of wit , but nobody ever said it can't be classy ; also, it takes incredible intellect to walk that fine line.
I've been watching C&Rsenal for nearly half a decade now and more than anything, I think this series has gotten me from an non-wheelgat kinda guy into the sort of person who would love to own a Smith & Wesson No.3 or a Type 26. So thank you for giving me an entirely new perspective on things I previously dismissed as uninteresting.
My man, once every few years there's a video that somehow gets me to leave a comment, and this time it's this one, because holy crap is it a good one! Dude, this is mastercrafted and extremely educative, thank you.
Just a casual 2 hour primer on the intricacies of revolvers.
Casual is right. A comprehensive professional brief is going to be 10 hours.
It is very late so I'm going to watch this tomorrow but I figured I'd do my part for the algorithm.
"This is not be extensive..." - looks at 2+ hour run time... ;)
Reminds me of a Johnny's Reloading Bench video. This will be a short video.......85 minutes later I'm still watching.
He said "not exhaustive" not "not extensive", huge difference. Thus the 2 hour run time and leaving the possibility for more on the subject in subsequent episodes. I'm hoping for episodes on each individual example.
I can't stay for the entire video right now but just the first 30 minutes answered a bunch of questions I have had about the function of my French '73 MAS Ordinance revolver. I will get back later to finish watching.
By C&Rsenal that os par for the course.
I've had a love affair with revolvers since 1973, when I was issued a S&W double action .357 magnum with a 5 inch barrel. I could hit the black with every shot on a silhouette target at 25 paces without aiming. It was a pleasure to shoot. My second gun was a 1911 Colt. I loved that too. I bought my first single action 1873 Army revolver with a 6 inch barrell 30 years ago and I love it because of it extremely light trigger pull. These days, I have 30 revolvers, the oldest being an 1861 Army percussion in .44 caliber, and I like them all for different reasons. Nothing beats the feel of a revolver. I keep two at my bedside along with two semiautos in .45 cal (and a 12 gauge tactical pump sbotgun). I'm definitely fond of revolvers!
You sound like me
Holy shit, what do you need that many guns at your bedside for? Why not just 1 good one
@@eriksunden4704 who needs guns beside your bed when you could have a moat! With hangry crocodiles!! And sharks!!! With lazers!!!!
Yayyyy bedtime stories!!!!
Great use of annotations by the way lol
Othias does have a fairly soothing voice when he's using his teaching tone.
My head exploded somewhere around assembly. I had no idea that there was so much to know.
Listning to the podcast, and hearing something like - "oh we will just do a quick revolver overview, because its kind of easy an quick to do"
Clicking on the video and seeing 2h+ playtime...
priceless^^
Thank you
I'm guessing the work time to video time ratio is better for this video than the usual Primer episodes.
@@EmyrDerfel I agree - but double the length for perhaps "half the work" is still an impressive ratio ^^
You can always detect a British author when the book or story states, "The Nazi officer drew his REVOLVER."
You mistake the instinctive reverence the Nazi has for superior British leather and string engineering. Source: Commando comics.
This is absolutely not unique to British authors. Revolver was, for the non-specialist, a synonym in late 19th century and 20th century literature.
Who wrote that?
Goering carried a S&W Model 1905
Maybe the story takes place in 1945 and they were down to Reichsrevolvers?
I can already tell this is gonna be one of the best videos that comes out of this channel.
“Ocelots are proud creatures”
"You're pretty good!"
Also crepuscular.
"Mrow(mrow-row-ow)!"
I have it on good authority that they are fox-eared ***holes.
Just bought my first revolver, a Smith and Wesson Pre-Model 10 M&P. I love the look of the M&P and Colt Police Positive.
Me, who studied gunsmithing: Bro, I can literally write out a step-by-step flow chart if how every part moves, when it moves, what it interacts with, and how it interacts with it.
Also me: But do continue. Ive devoted 2 hours to this, id watch you describe rations for 2 hours. :)
You know Othais, for someone who claims to spend all their time researching while Mae does the shooting you have a very broad spectrum of experience to call upon when describing all the different revolvers. That is some book you read! :-) A superb programme that illustrates the ingenuity of gunsmiths working to constantly improve. Thank you very much; I learned so much from this.
I'm gonna have to watch this one a few times to absorb it all. Thanks again for the hard work! I'm proud of how my Patreon funds are being put to use.
I see how your content is revolving.
And it blew me away.
This guy hits the highest level of production quality
I really appreciate all the time and effort that you guys put into the videos, I have always loved revolvers, the first time I fired a gun was my dad's police service revolver, since then they have been my favorite
I’m adding another comment because a video longer then 2hrs deserves more then one comment.
Im excited you guys are doing another long form "101" video, as these are very helpful and accessible to teach things ive always wanted to know.
If I could provide a suggestion, with this video at 2 hours of runtime, it might be helpful to have time stamps for different topics in the video description once it goes live. This will translate to visible sections on the tIme bar at the bottom of the video.
I really enjoyed your video on bolt actions, and that video along with this one could be more accessible with the timestamps.
what i find interesting is that contrary to Google, These long videos are worth the watch and so we watch them, regardless of length. Just proves the point that if the video has interesting content the length doesn't really matter.
It’s truly amazing when you see the inner workings of some of these revolvers and realize that they are well over 100+ yrs old and still functioning like clockwork. 🤠 There is no school like old school. Excellent video!
I had been thinking about how little I really understood the inner workings of revolvers not long before this episode was published. Very helpful and informative, as always.
Always appreciate a good revolver.
a 2 hour C&Rsenal video on everything about revolvers? Yes please!
This guy set out to make the most detailed and informative revolver video on the entire internet and he greatly succeeded. There's not much here that most of us revolver people weren't already aware of, and yet it was still entertaining the whole way through.
Because of this video i have also started collecting old revolvers. Getting them to work smoothly is the end game.
Woah, 2 hours? Yes please.
As a revolver fan, this was fantastic! Loved learning some things about my own guns as well as some I wish I had.
Wow, great deep dive into revolvers. Thanks.
Love seeing all the parts & how they interact. When I was 6 or 7, my dad's wind-up alarm clock stopped working. The only tools i had were a hammer, screwdriver & pliers. Disassembly took a few days, reassembly never happened.
Thanks Othais, I had NEVER even heard of the “pin fire” cartrige/hammer configuration. You’re a SERIOUS wealth of knowledge. Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
What a fun acronym and time stamps
The 'secret' pistol that comes apart so sleekly and easily looks like it would be fun just to field strip and put back together again. The sheer amount of cleverness and engineering in that is amazing!
Brilliantly done!
I will be sharing this video quite a bit, and for quite some time.
I'm sending this video to anyone that says a revolver is simpler than a modern semi-automatic. I can appreciate these old guns for their history and mechanism, but good lord do all the little bits and boops make me afraid of my carpet.
I think revolvers are simpler on the outside, but more complicated on the inside.
I don't mind a machine being complex to cleaned maintain. But on the few occasions I've handled an automatic pistol I felt like I was wrangling a drunk typewriter full of TNT. Revolvers feel as comfortable as an old pipe.
i think one of my favorite early disassembly procedures was the 1858 remington, what a wonderful way to hide that arbor
Magnificent.................well done sir...........well done indeed.
This is the 3rd time ive watched this whole thing end to end and i have to say that even the stuff i already knew or thought i knew is put forth in such a clear but thought prevoking way, i hope c&rsenal continues for many many yeears to come. If i had any disposable income you would be first on my list to support. So lacking that here is a comment and if i could like it again i would. Thank you for all your hard work.
This is an EXCELLENT Presentation ! A lot of valuable information here !!!
Thank you for creating two hours of educational entertainment.
2 hours of revolver talk. hell yeah i'll watch that
I have always liked revolvers, but now you have led me into wanting some antique ones that I knew nothing about before. A French one, a Bodeo, and Abadie to start with. This episode was awesome. Thanks for all your hard work.
thanks guys. most appreciated
Wow, a "fantastic voyage" into the Revolver with Othais !
Nice - some fresh edu-tainment just in time to start cooking midnight dinner!
Excellent algorithm my dude
I have a 1903 Mosin Revolver, I don't know how I got so lucky... Thank you guys for giving us a resource for these older firearms!:) Semper Fidelis
gosh this stuff is a great idea and you guys are the perfect channel to do these 101 "courses", keep it up I'll share this as much as I can
We should've put a nsfw tag on this, what with all these nude revolvers.
This was definetly worth the wait
I cant believe i watched a 2 hour video about revolvers all the way through. Well done.
Very impressive! All of the promises and hype from SCAR, ACR, and even the Desert Tech bullpup. PWS has always made high quality stuff, but this amount of attention to detail and engineering is truly impressive. I’ve always steered clear of the multi-caliber concept, but this has my full attention. Looking forward to seeing more!
Revolvers are maybe easier to use, so long as nothing goes wrong, but every single part in one is doing three jobs at once, and more than half of them are there to work around the problems discovered with the previous attempt. The sheer complexity and the elegance of the engineering in them is staggering, and they're much harder to get right than a semi-auto. I have a whole new appreciation for just how impressive revolvers are as feats of design and manufacturing.
What a brilliant video! I've been collecting revolvers for 50+ years, and still I've learnt a lot from it! Never too old etc.! Nice to see the New South Wales Government Enfield @ 1:21:32 in the collection; wish I had one! Cheers from South Australia.
I can not describe how giddy I feel whenever you guys post followed by just how naive I feel when I realize that for all of my gun history knowledge it is still quite full of holes even in the basic things.
I was at a gun show where an old dude (gun seller) said, "See that exit sign across the room? Close your eyes and point this old colt at it. Now open your eyes." The sights were dead on the sign. That's ergonomics.
But you try that excercise with any revolver the result will mostly be the same. It has more to do with biology , and little to do with ergonomics . Do try it. It's fun. We used to do it all the time... (Not to be taken literary )
i missed this show back when it was released and I am certainly happy YT's recommendations dont totally ignore this channel :)
great content! Favorite moment: "As you see in this more recent gun..." as he demonstrates on a 130 year old revolver. love it.
Excellent - Excellent video - very informative - very valuable info on revolver mechanisms!!!!
Thank you, very interesting (like all you do), I'll be sure to watch that again!
Well I’ve just been to revolver school. All the bits to make a revolvers timing and trigger work is quite amazing. I’m just thankful I have a modern “evolved” revolver to work with.
Fun fact, in some countries I think the double action mechanism is actually thought of as a triple action, where the actions of cocking the hammer, rotating the cylinder and releasing the hammer are all separate. I think this would technically be a more accurate description, since there are revolvers with two separate triggers, one which acts to cock and cycle and one which actually releases.
Triple action has been used before to refer to DA/SA guns as opposed to DAO. I think the issue with considering cocking the hammer and rotating the cylinder to be two separate actions is that you are then stuck calling single actions “double action”. That would get confusing fast.
I would prefer to call a DAO a "full action" trigger, as it does all the work in driving the mechanism.
This was a great video, I really loved the format. Thank you!
Just amazing. Well done C&Rsenal team. So educational.
dude.... as someone who is autistic and wants to know the smallest details in ways most people won't ever notice, and wants to learn as much as possible about things that interest me, i must say this video truly is on a whole other level of special and informative. amazing job.
A lot of work seems to have gone into this episode and I learned a lot. Thanks for a great episode!
What a fine, historically accurate, vid. Thank you Mr. Othias and Miss Mae!
*reads description*
Clearly Othais has a sense of humor.
Further evidenced by "Just for Gun" and my favorite "Ian can't Othias"....
Yes, it would appear so... 👓
I would love to see you do a mechanical function breakdown of a Chiappa Rhino, in direct comparison with other more common and historical revolver designs. The inside of that thing is absolutely whacky, and it deserves the quality of deep-dive that you do in a way nobody else does.
THAT is seriously GOOD WORK. - Thank You very much from NZ.
Brilliant. An amazing episode on history and very well organized. You are a great teacher. This helped me understand why my Taurus 856 would rotate backwards causing the cylinder to repeatedly hit the same chamber due to weight of unfired rounds. It was an issue of the cylinder stop functioning too late in the process and was resolved with a change in geometry. Still working on the function of the hand
Can’t believe that was 2 hours long really was fascinating. Thanks
Awesome video; awaiting Revolver 102
Really enjoyed this!
this tingles my synapses and is just what i needed. great stuff thanks!
Ahhhh, time for a good, relaxing, historical lecture. THANKS C&R!!
😍
"This Ep will _not_ be exhaustive."
(Checks runtime of 2 hrs 10 min.) Please, sir, I'd like some more.
Excellent video, Can't wait for more 😊
Thank you for this explanation of the different types of 'evolution' of hand guns
Gotta love these long videos.
You did an amazing job on this sir! Thanks. I really learned a lot and enjoyed watching. 😊
This is one of the most well done videos I have ever watched. Very much enjoyed start to finish. Rewatched a few parts sometimes multiple times. It was well presented the engineering in some of these revolvers is hard to follow and truly amazing. Fun to see all the many ways people all over the world were approaching the same design concept category. I really love those swing out side plates that stay attached. Amazing! So much of this is purely amazing
This has been the best overview of handguns ever!
Finally I come back around to finishing the video. love your work guys!
