"Double Deuce" 2-Bore Rifle: A Gunsmithing Spectacle
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 พ.ย. 2017
- The largest sporting rifles ever actually used in the field as more than an exhibition were 4-bore stopping rifles, firing roughly 1" in diameter (25mm) projectiles. These were intended to not simply kill a dangerous animal, but to stop it immediately in a charge, which might require shooting through thick bone or horn protection. For that purpose, the 4-bore could have some value - assuming you had an assistant to carry it when danger was not imminent!
However, there have been a number of gunsmiths who have built 2-bore rifles, like this example named "Double Deuce" by its maker, Stolzer & Son of Kansas. At 44 pounds, this behemoth is definitely too heavy for practical use, but it sure is an impressively huge piece of work! It fires a 1.33" (33.8mm) ball weighing 3500gr (227g) at about 1250fps (380 m/s)...if you can hold it on target long enough to get an accurate shot.

So it protects you from a charging buffalo by throwing you out of the way with recoil.
Its literally Ashe's coach gun
More like tearing your shoulder off.
*_Dauntless_* (2019)
Either that or making the buffalo crap itself and run off when it sees how psychotic you are, willing to tear off your arm by shooting at it...
Actually, it protects you from TWO charging buffaloes that are charging at you at a 90 degree angle.
You shoot and kill one, and the recoil kicks you out of the way of the second one.
"what caliber do you hunt with?"
"1"
"one? that must be quite small"
"sure"
Those are rookie numbers... i hunt with my 0.25 bore rifle ... =))
@@sniperely7915 technically not possible based on the definition of what a two bore gun is.
@@elementalist1984 untrue. In this scenario the ball would weigh 4 pounds.
@@thisguy1890 bore is calibrated by how many projectiles you can make out of 1 pound of lead.
And to be honest a gun that shoots a 4 lbs bullet would be a cannon not a rifle, lol
@@elementalist1984 yeah and 0.25 balls could be made from a pound of lead. It's not that hard to work out dude.
The Doom Slayer's Super Shotgun. And I think that Lil' Deuce can legitimately be called a hand cannon.
It genuinely can. Modern aircraft guns (Called "Cannons",) fire 30mm projectiles typically.
a cannon is a gun with a caliber of 20mm or more, so this would be a cannon per definition
The super shotgun is 8 gauge, this is larger and a rifle.
@@John-PotaszNo it's 2 Bore actually, as you can see it carries a larger barrel than the Grenade launcher mod on Combat shotgun
@@grangergonzalez9821 The super shotgun shares ammo with the combat shotgun, therefore it is not bigger.
This isn't for stopping a charging buffalo.
This is for stopping a Cyberdemon.

The gun is 44 lbs and the two projectiles together are 1 lb, so conservation of momentum suggests that the gun, unrestrained, would move backwards at 1/44th the muzzle velocity if both barrels were fired, or 1200 fps / 44, about 18 mph.
A 45 lb olympic plate will reach a speed of 18 mph if dropped from 10 feet.
To emulate the experience of firing this gun, have a friend drop a 45 lb olympic plate on your shoulder from a ten foot ladder.
Oh good god, your shoulder would be sent to the shadow realm
Do you get free weight training lessons if you order one of these?
At work, someone grabbed a small safe from a cabinet I was working next to. It was on the top shelf, close to the ceiling and the person dropped it as it came off the shelf. Straight onto my shoulder, the muscle, not the bone fortunately. Less fortunate was that it was thick wall, with sharp corners and edges, and full of change. It must've weighed close to an Olympic plate. That was about 5 to 6 foot. I can't imagine what twice that height must be like, this hurt for days and days.
I hope the gunsmith also makes prosthetic shoulders because you're going to need one after firing this gun.
Or you can just get hit by a runaway bus.
You first.
That pistol is the literal definition of a hand cannon and I love it.

I believe it was Samuel Baker, the big game hunter, who had one of these behemoths made by Holland & Holland. He later wrote that he could no longer shoot any of his guns well because the 2 bore had "so affected" his nerves.
When a 50 BMG round is a "hotdog in a hallway", the rounds get just as scary for the shooter as the target
"Oh dude it has a dual trigger system! You can fire both barrels at once!"
"Do you want to die?"

At both sides of the Barrel.
just because you can.......doesn't mean you should.
You can do it actually, but only once though.

A 50 BMG is a scaled up 30-06
It caught me too
Crazy thing is that 50 BMG has more energy at around 13k ft lbs compared to 12k that crazy paper weight has.
Something small...Dude that 2-bore shot is big enough that you could reasonably pass it off as a small cannon shell to someone who didn't know better!
I keep thinking of that line from 'the 13th warrior': "I cannot lift this"
"Grow stronger".

One shot for a Tiger 1, 2 shots for the Tiger 2 perhaps?
As someone who's really bad with picturing weights and other measurements, the thing that really sold me on the weight was seeing Ian's elbow twitching at 6:48. That's something you only see when someone's holding up something REALLY heavy.

This is a comedic firearm.
“Among other weapons, I had an extraordinary rifle that carried a half-pound percussion shell-this instrument of torture to the hunter was not sufficiently heavy for the weight of the projectile; it only weighed twenty pounds: thus, with a charge of ten drachms [270 grains] of powder, behind a half-pound shell, the recoil was so terrific, that I spun around like a weathercock in a hurricane. I really dreaded my own rifle, although I had been accustomed to heavy charges of powder, and severe recoil for some years. None of my men could fire it, and it was looked upon with a species of awe, and it was named "Jenna-El-Mootfah" (Child of a Cannon) by the Arabs, which being far too long a name for practice, I christened it the "Baby;" and the scream of this "Baby" loaded with a half-pound shell was always fatal. It was far too severe, and I very seldom fired it, but it is a curious fact, that I never fired a shot with that rifle without bagging: the entire practice, during several years, was confined to about twenty shots. I was afraid to use it; but now and then it was absolutely necessary that it should be cleaned, after months of staying loaded. On such occasions my men had the gratification of firing it, and the explosion was always accompanied by two men falling on their backs (one having propped up the shooter), and the "Baby" flying some yards behind them. This rifle was made by Holland & Holland, of Bond Street, and I could highly recommend it for the Goliath of Gath, but not for the men of A.D. 1866.”

Ian, at the start it says the biggest rifles and shotguns used in the field were 4 bore.
2 bore punt guns weren’t uncommon, even now there are still many serviceable ones around.
There were never shoulder fired, usually in a notch on the boat. The first time I saw one I thought it was a practical joke 😂
Minor discrepancy, love your work
He's done a video on those punt guns, too!
Does a punt gun count as "in the field". I was reading about bore sizes out of curiosity and read that punt guns were used for shooting birds.
@@joseph560 old records claim over a hundred birds have been put down with a single shot from a punt gun. It’s cheating really😂
@@joseph560 They are. Or were.The plan was to scull the punt to within range, with the barrel directed just over the flock, then trigger it. The birds would jump up from the water and right into the blast of shot. They were used more for market hunting than sporting or sustenance use. I did read some time ago of current British regulation of punt guns, but since I have not kept track of the regulations I don't know if they are still used.
I have to admit I would not mind at all having one hung on hooks over the fireplace.
He didn't say 2 bore was the largest used in the field.
He said 2 bore was the largest "really" used in the field.
Punt guns were bigger, but they weren't used by people out hunting.
They were used for the *business* of killing and selling birds.
I bet that somewhere sometime, someone tried to fire both triggers at the same time, and then never did it again.

Ian, that is literally a calibre capable of carrying payloads! And you've just called it _small!_
I guess it would slide down the barrel if you tried to chamber it
If you saw the barrel and the stock to size, it's the perfect carry weapon! You can even launch yourself into space if you shoot it at the the floor.
Im a force a nature
I imagine the weight becomes less challenging when a rhino is charging you and adrenaline kicks in
IMHO - a .35/9mm+ high-power rifle cartridge *with* properly made (monolithic for .40/10mm+, maybe a copper semi-expander for smaller?) projectile, that I can actually shoulder for more than 15 seconds at a time... that beats “I know it’s hard to shoot & shit, but *IF* I hit it, WHHOOO!!”
Ofc, not like this example of pre-Viagra ED treatment was meant to actually be used, just thought I’d mention - nah, this one sucks for any purpose other than the ever-important Bragging Rights, lol
I would argue that the ridiclous weight becomes even MORE of an issue when you realize that your ego is about to get you trampled by a rhino, bacause you're carrying a boat anchor instead of a practical weapon...
just return to munke
munke strong
Or you just say”fuck it” and hip fire it letting the recoil break your wrists and arms because I thats better than the rhino
If a rhino is charging at me I will be happy to only get a bruise on my shoulder as long as I don't have to deal with a pissed off Rhino that want to stomp me into paste.

Especially given that cannons and such used to be classified as 2-pounders, 6-pounders, 64-pounders, etc., and bore gauge is literally just the reciprocal of this ('cause, for stuff smaller than a 1-pounder, it's less clunky to say, say, "4-bore" than "one-quarter-pounder").
@@earlelkins9086 What if he wanted to know the boar per pound conversion?
@@earlelkins9086 No, he’s talking about transporting wild pigs.
...and I thought the first men to use shoulder mounted smoothbores in league with the lunatic fringe. When I first heard of the Nitro Express as a youth, I thought, " just who's bonkers enough to fire a rifle with that large of a caliber?!" I can only assume it was this clients Grandfather who hunted really big mammals.
I love the concept of a "stopping rifle": You want something dead NOW.
“We’ll start with something small... .50BMG”
Don’t hear that every day!
I wish he put a 22LR next to the 50BMG first!
The USS Iowa Museum called while you were filming, they need their gun back...
Deck gun, I assume
jemielnic well, I mean if you fire it you don’t need to get on the floor to play dead because the gun does it for you. Life saver than gun is.
you guys watch this too?
It has a double trigger system.
Show this to Scott from Kentucky ballistics!
Only one thing makes me reluctant to fire a weapon like that. Newton's second law.
...that and the inevitable loss of bowel control
@The Bengalee Sceptic Third law tells you you're going to be knocked back. Second law tells you how much...
Frankly. With the amount of force this makes. I'm also gonna say Newton's first law
This is a gun that, even if you can shoulder it, you really shouldn't, especially if you fire it. (God save your shoulder if you fire both barrels at once.)
@@benjaminmiddaugh2729 Not shouldering a rifle is the worst idea. Inexperienced shooters do this and just get slammed into by the stock
Doom Slayer: "I'll take your entire stock"
Well i donno if he can even shoot it with stable footing then again the guy shots bfg, perhaps he can use it for some amazing shotgun jump.
@@temkin9298 are you underestimating the DOOMSLAYER !!!??
@@temkin9298 he can lift more than 20 tonnes (based on the thick metal doors he lifts in Doom 2016), a 2 gauge isn't a problem for him. Even then, the recoil of the 2-bore shotguns is nothing compared to turret mode chaingun or ballista/railgun. The recoil of the ballista/railgun would be like getting hit by a car
@@temkin9298 well he shoot himself with a giant high tec cannon trough space and hi a solid all and he didnt even fall or lost balance
The dude is too powerfull to be contained
Same with Serious Sam!
I GUARANTEE there is someone out there who would say this rifle is "insufficient" for bear defense.
I can't help but think that Scott from Kentucky Ballistics is at the Auction looking at this gun.
If a train assaults you, this can really stop it in its tracks.
Giovanni Battista Ponzetto AAAYYYYYY
Stop It In Its tracks? No... This Will Wipe The DAMN TRAIN FROM EXISTANCE!!!
Giovanni Battista Ponzetto underrated
Just looking at the ammunition, could be confused with a grenade launcher
@@wolfofmagdalene92 34mm Grenades sound like something that can be constructed.
Considering that there are plenty of smaller grenades in 30, 25, and 20mm, yeah.
Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong, but; pretty sure that explosive projectiles (think mini artillery shells) below a certain size were collectively banned from military use BY multiple militaries back in the late 1700s, simply because exploding bullets are freaking brutal. This was when people were literally lining up to shoot at each other by the hundreds and pouring hot wax on their wounds. Still, if there's something chasing you that you'd need a half-pound explosive projectile to kill; I think permits and red tape would be the least of your problems... 😓
don't even think they can use mushrooming ammo in war, it's all metal jacket so you get clean through and through wounds giving wounded soldiers the best chance to recover. it's supposed to be about winning the war, not brutally maiming the enemy population.
@@kingjames4886 well said!
Gotta call scott from Kentucky Ballistics cause whats better than a 4 Bore, the mighty 2 Bore.
I would love if he gets a hold of this beast
This is the perfect stopping rifle, for when you're hunting Peterbilts.

Well, there probably were rabbits somewhere in there.
