- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2023
- Original Stevens Model 94B shotgun in 12 gauge modified with an original Alofs magazine conversion system. Hunt: Showdown fans will know it as the Romero 77 Alamo.
This and the cut shells shows just how ingenious people can be
> that pfp
Agreed. I'd love to see someone make a 3d printed version!
@@tomvance3646 we don't talk about it.
Oh god. I completely forgot about that CESSPIT, 177103 before I saw that pfp.
Yes
That's the strangest shotgun magazine I've ever seen .
but it works
@@armorguy5563 i agree with if the gun works well, this is the most important, but i agree with Mike, this is the most strange shotgun magazine.
@@joaopedrobaggio4475 these guns are amazing is like one of those from call of duty ww2
It was a cheaper alternative way back when to buy that and a single barrel shotgun then to buy one of the newer pump shotguns
@@Josh.890more likely can be found in a game called hunt showdown
It was actually cheaper to buy a single shot Iver Johnson and an Alofs mechanism than it was to buy a purpose built pump action shotgun.
Especially because pretty much everybody already owned a single-shot break-action shotgun back then.
Tbh I'd rather have an Alof.
@@AzureSetsunai4345I can see the pros and cons of both
@@AzureSetsunai4345 its inferior with it being heavy and usually less reliable than a quality shotgun
@@ofekmizrahi3079 not why'd pick it.
That’s so innovative! Would be perfect in a steampunk movie!
what da black gryphon doing here
Hunt Showdown has it
Or a dark old western style game with zombies and big monsters set in Louisiana
Songus amongus
it's seen in the game Hunt Showdown ! that's so amazing how such a steampunk-looking but smart loading system is far to be unrealistic! that's so well choosen from the Crytek devs! kudos to them! as well as the genius who designed this!
This channel is now a certified property of Hunt Showdown community
TRUE, he has like all the guns!
Saw his Krag video long time ago and I wondered when is Hunt going add that gun, lo and behold they did, this auto reload and krag has to be my favorites among Garand and enfield
Wow
Yup.
Cringe
I've always wanted to see the Alofs adapted for an M79 grenade launcher.
Alofs M203 😱
I think the alof exists as a attachment for a mod that has a grenade launcher for a game called Garry's mod
M79 has the pump shotgun version called China Lake, Forgotten Weapons has a video on it too, very interesting piece of weapon I must say.😂
@@tuongnguyen2807 that's not a variant that's an entirely new gun
@@revertfellpapyrusfandeunde4380smorgasbord
0:38 that rechamber sound is UNBELIEVABLY satisfying
THANK YOU FOR DOING ALL 5 POSSIBLE SHOTS. Everyone else who did it either put an empty in to start or would load the magazine without loading the carrier.
Oh well, everyone else do it the traditional way.
@@Nsodnoajdjkslwe have no idea what the "traditional" way is. These are super obscure.
@@marcusborderlands6177 You're too young to understand.
@@Nsodnoajdjksl how about you don't talk in riddles grandpa? If you don't start talking straight you might get a stroke and die before your point is articulated
@@Nsodnoajdjkslthis mechanism is no doubt older than you, considering the original design is over a hundred years old and was sold as an after market solution to cheap out on an expensive gun.
A lot of people know about the Alofs but not many people know about the Blofs. The Blofs was a similar after market magazine system except it was a giant carousel type magazine the shotgun fit in and tiny Keebler elves reloaded your shot gun after you fired. After a few catastrophic malfunctions it was discontinued. To this day Keebler still makes Fudge Stripe cookies to remember those lost and their families
Wow! Old guns are so neat
Clofs?
Finally something that isn't subtle.
@@isdattomatojuice9897 Dlofs
I can't find anything about the Blofs on Google.
Know where I can find some information on it?
Holy shit, this is one of the coolest guns I've ever seen. I bet it was expensive, sad because I really really want one now
actually at the time when theese were a thing they were pretty cheap. That was kinda the whole purpose: instead of buying a whole new semiauto shotgun you would buy a cheap conversion kit that would turn your grandpa's lame single shot shotgun into a cool steampunk tool of destruction
@@user-cy1rm5vb7i but the rarer they are, the more they go up. I'm sure they aren't cheap anymore
@@user-cy1rm5vb7i *pump action shotgun*
@@zacharyreed2347 Yes, but it would be cheaper than an auto-5 too. Bolt action shotguns also emerged around this time too, but they were cheaper than pumps and might have beaten this in price.
It's not the gun, the magazine could be added to most single shot shotguns. The magazine was sold separate and then people put it on whatever they wanted.
Someone should start producing them again. There'd be a waiting list for sure.
This is honestly one of the most exotic historic shotgun that I’ve ever come across. You don’t see many break action shotguns with this unique loading action.
It’s a regular break action with the alofs magazine attached to it, it’s meant to be a pump action but you didn’t have to buy a new gun
As someone who plays hunt showdown, it’s channels like these that make me appreciate strange guns
Literally, and I mean literally, no one cares if you play Hunt: Showdown.
@@Kaarna5 hey i like hunt showdown! looks like you're wrong!
ngl i know this gun just because of hunt! so i care@@Kaarna5
@@Kaarna5 Nah.
@@Kaarna5 i do dog
The greatest break-action repeating shotgun I’ve ever seen
Love that these are making a comeback, thank you Hunt: Showdown and by extension Crytec.
I learned about it from Othais at C&Rsenal. I think his initial video on it is what started to drive to have it added to Hunt
Glad to see a longer video -and not just a TH-cam short - of this rare firearm which I first saw on Forgotten Weapons.
The majority of my shorts are cut from longer and higher resolution regular videos I uploaded previously
Honestly this gun amazes me. I had only heard of it recently, but the ingenuity involved for its time is just incredible.
that is actually really neat. I really admire the engineers of yesteryears thinking and designing firearm mechanisms like these.
Every single time I see one of these work I’m always amazed they do
Absolutely adore older systems like this
This is quite possibly the coolest old gadget I've ever seen.
My jaw almost hit the floor when i saw it cycle. i was expecting you to manually move that magazine bit and ram the cartidge in manually too. wowowowow
I saw this on Forgotten Weapons(or something) Interesting system. Amazing how complicated they thought back then....
Man, i really love the way it works.. so satisfying
I can see why they didn't continue being a thing in the fire arm world but you have to admit the levels of satisfaction shooting and watching that work is insane. I wants it
The frustration of having it jam from being installed just slightly wrong, or you not cycling it quite right, or the struggle of having to reload it would probably get old fast though, these things didn't catch on for multiple reasons. Still cool as fuck.
We can make pump actions so cheaply now that this is unnecessary
I do believe this is indeed the greatest sequence of shotgun sounds I have ever heard
This is the coolest weapon I have ever seen. That reload is so unique and I love it. The fact it's a shotgun makes it even better.
i can not describe how happy i am to see something like this. wow. what a piece.
This camera angle and shutter speed and exposure makes this feel like I am watching a video game. You also handle that shotgun like a video game.
This is one of the most interesting semi auto configurations I’ve ever seen. I like how the break over motion is used to cycle the new shell into the barrel.
Just FYI, this isn't considered semi-auto
@@cymond yeah I dont know what you’d call it- I suppose it more akin to a bolt or lever action- since you have to perform a break over “action” to complete a cycle. I dunno, you know what I meant
@@Naltddesha the widest term is "repeater" which covers any design that can fire multiple shots before reloading.
"Repeater" includes everything beyond a single shot rifle.
Its truly fascinating on what people back in time had thought of when it came to firearms
A side mounted magazine tube on a single barrel. I still can't get over how cool this thing is.
Yesss, I was waiting for this video. The most steampunk shotgun.
Awesome! I remember seeing a 30 sec clip about these years ago, cool to see one in more detail
Forgotten weapons has a whole episode on it if you wanna know more
Othais dug one of these up years ago and did a video a while back. Ian had one of these for a long while before he covered it. The main obstacle seems to be that they need a lot of futzing with before they actually work.
There was a guy that made a video and was trying to fix his Alof's Reloader. He also had plans to make more seeing as how the patent has long since expired and I'm sure if you search it up you'll find the video.
love the over all aesthetics of this shotgun.
That chambering sounds is just so good
Look like a weapon from Hunt Showdown
“I want a break action shotgun!”
“We already have one.”
*”Ours isn’t break action.”*
This is by far the most unique chambering of a shotgun ive even seen
I'd love to see this more in media, its a cool reloading mechanism
Amazing invention. Not sure if the inventor took the aesthetic aspect into consideration, but from visual alone, it looks cool.
This needs to be on forgotten weapons
Boy do I have news for you…
@@TenaciousTrilobite well I'd rather be late than find out he's not covered it
The mechanism of that magazine is so unique
The reloading sounds are so satisfying
This shotgun is so crazy with its magazine
Old, but still reliable.
They worked with what they had, and it's still a classic.
Wow that is WAY smoother than the one Ian McCullum filmed with.
amaizng how such a weird mechanism can be so precise each time
I always like a good quickie from Tenacious Trilobite. Always delivers and is satisfying!☺️
I've never seen any of these in action, thank you for thid fabulous video. 😊
Dayum, who did you sold your soul to to get your hands on one of those? Truly my favorite retro cyberpunk contraption in terms of ingenuity.
Epic video man!
I love thease old auto loaders, for single shots, the guy who invented thease was brilliant.
He made a product cheeper then a new gun and up graded the most common shotguns around.
I would love to get my hands on one some day.
I appreciate the crisp sight picture for magazine dumping into the dirt
That's the coolest shotgun I've ever seen!
The 60fps really helps make this look more like a hyper-realistic fps than a real video, some more than others.
That is by far the coolest shotgun ever
SUCH a bangwr i love contraptions of the bygone (and upcoming) era
De tous les brevets curieux et loufoques, celui là est mon préféré. Il est parfaitement fonctionnel et , à la fois très simple et ingénieux !
Sans oublier, sublime !
This dude has to know or work with private collectors or something cause that's awesome that he has one of these. (I had to subscribe great stuff my dude!)
one of the rarest attachments right up there with the pederson device
That is a very unique firearm. Thank you for posting this.
I really love this weapon!
I honestly forgot that this existed.
I remember my grandpa having my great grandpa's old Iver Johnson single shot 12ga with one of those on it. He never shot it and it dissapeared before I could inherit it with his gun collection
It's like a whole Rube Goldberg machine strapped to the side of a gun. I love it.
And here we have an example of one of the world's first jank-action shotguns.
Bro got the Romero 77 Alamo
most fascinating shotgun I've ever seen.
Wow ماشاءاللہ that was beautiful mechanism.
That weapon looks pretty good, imagine a double barrel version of this, it would be badass and steampunk.
-"don't say it, don't say it, don't say it"
-ROMERO ALAMOOOOOOO
What a amazingly designed and created, mechanically conventional instrument.😮
Works quite well! No feed problems like Ian had
Romero 77 Alamo in Hunt Showdown 😂
Now it is more modern in Turkey and we export it to Canada
Wow this is definitely one of the more unique guns ive seen shot
I appreciate you tenacious trilobite
There it is, the most steampunk gun ever made.
I love this video! Such a nice depiction of the fictional , totally inivative and original gun design from the hit game Hunt: Showdown!
Wow, that's such a cool way of loading the next shell.
The sound of reloading it is satisfying
Ingenious. Efficient. And most of all... cost-effective in the event a pump shotgun's overpriced.
My attraction to this gun boarders on the sexual.
Un mécanisme très ingénieux, à la fois "simple" et élégant. Très belle arme.
Nice vintage model 12 bore shotgun with magazine wonderful gun👍🏻
Romero Alamo confirmed?
That's cool and all but I want to see this on a double barrel shotgun.
Theoretically possible, but you'd have to make a custom mirrored version for the right side
@@TenaciousTrilobite It would look either sick or terrible, or both, hahahah
@@Cyridi31 burst fire
damn, beautiful and some kinda vintage lookin...the reloading cycle and sound are so satifying😂
One of the best firearm mods ever invented :)
The Alofs was aloof from being conventional...
You can’t increase the mag size of a one shot shotgu-
the coolest shotgun I have ever seen in my life
whats fascinating to me is how well it actually works
Can definitely see that being dressed up and in a Star Wars movie
That is an incredibly unique mechanism
For the time this must have been beyond brilliant enginering, it's honestly amazingly simple
For the time it was insanely outdated already.
Wow! What an innovative shotgun tube😮
This is just so damn beautiful
Thats such a cool mechanism
Genialne rozwiązanie problemu !!!
The designer is so amazing and genius
