It looks fun
"A blunderbuss? What is this, 1850?"

I was looking for this
" you can put pretty much anything into it and blow a bunch of the buggers away in one go "

In john's defense, thats like using a typewriter nowdays
@@kyridounis5040 I own several typewriters, they're better than writing with pen and paper, especially for a left-handed person like me
@@Momo_KawashimaHaven’t you heard of a computer?
The allure of the BLUNDERBUSS was that it basically could shoot anything that would fit inside the bore. Broken chunks of metal, nails, coins, marbles, small rocks, creek gravel, and even a compressed Furbie. Glow in the dark projectiles might be cool too on the night shots. NEVER leave a gap between projectiles and the powder charge, whatever you shoot. Can turn gun barrel into a bomb. Watch out for ricochets on hard targets.
I've always wanted to see the myth tested of loading the forks and knives into one
Ha. That's a good one! @@fpnbrian
Unfortunately it’s an urban myth that they loaded a blunderbuss with things like nails, coins, rocks etc as doing that would damage the barrel and also potentially cause a blockage in the barrel resulting in the gun exploding
@@richardthomas3697 Sir, I refuse to let your facts and logic destroy the beautiful dream of ballistic furbies.

Great video, I live in Britain and happen to own a genuine 19 Century blunderbuss on which that is modelled. It has a brass barrel and is marked "Royal Mail" because it was issued to the postman of the time carrying mail on stage coaches. It has "Tower of London" proof marks because at some time in the late 19 Century it was converted from flintlock to percussion cap as they all were. My family "acquired" it when it fell off the back of a Royal Mail coach onto a road near the family home during a severe storm one dark night. Somehow we never got around to asking if the Royal Mail wanted their gun back, dunno why, must have slipped our memory.
Lucky you guys!
Why in the world did the Royal Mail carry blunderbusses
@@donnakeough-perrt4089 Thieves. It's the 1800s, you are in a horse drawn carriage, alone and are sent to deliver mail.
As it should be 😅
@@donnakeough-perrt4089 stagecoach robberies weren't just things that happened in movies, y'know?
6:55 this is the funniest stuff i've seen in a while. completely unexpected result. golden moment.
unexpected? is this the first video of Scott you watched? 🤣 (i also cant hear sarcasm in text ;) )
Instant like! Through our strict Gunlaws in Germany, i still wanted a "Boomstick" for "the worst Case" on my Wall... something i could fill with old Socks, unused Catfood and rusty Nails, these Handcannons are timeless!
Fun fact, a length of chain with 2 weights on each end is a choice 'projectile' for a blunderbuss.
Fun fact from Denmark;
Flintlocks, and flintlock blunderbusses, are not restricted here.
I.E. you don't need a license to own them, or register that you own it anywhere.
You do need a "black powder license" to operate them, though.
@@BrandonsUsername i believe if fired from a cannon it's called chain shot, or at least that's what they call it in those sailing ship games, like Sid Meier's Pirates
i think chain shot was used to take out sails
@@CorvusCorone68yes it's designed to wrap around the mast of a ship and destroy it
@@The_Keeperin the US they're also not considered firearms and are therefore basically unregulated. It's only stuff that uses a cartridge that's actually restricted. If you had the money you could buy one of the 16" guns from an Iowa class battleship with no paperwork.
The sound of the hammer activating before the weapon fires is so satisfying. Sounds like a Sci Fi weapon for a split second
Ironic
When he shot the chronograph and the quote with the music came on the screen, I lost it. This channel never ceases to make me laugh.
The moments before the chronograph readings where you can clearly see that Scott is aiming directly at the chronograph will never cease to send me into a laughing fit
yes
Real
I was dying when he shot the chronograph 😅😂😅😅
He must have a fantastic relationship with his chronograph provider! 🤣
@@Gyrfalcon312 hes a huge sponsor for chronograph makers, thats for sure 😅
The ping/boing when the hammer comes down is a sound I love
that made me think of the punt gun before he mentioned it being like a mini punt gun lol. it's pretty nice in slow mo
ABSOLUTELY. This and the Punt Gun. 👌
@@cx2900 The punt gun is basically a large scale blunderbuss.
The poor chronograph, "Never shoot buckshot at your chronograph" is the most underrated quote of the year.
I died when he blasted the chronograph lol😂😂
The cut to Scott's shoulder with a face INSTANTLY had me laughing 🤣
One of these days his shoulder is gonna file for divorce!
@@drtidrow or sue for domestic abuse.
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 how the hell is that relevant to this?!
@@alekszandor What do you think the justification for the divorce is? 🤣🤣
To be honest, that blunderbuss probably doesn't kick much more than a 12-gauge with 3" magnum loads, and certainly not as much as some of his double rifles.
I swear, Scott's excited laugh is one of the best things on TH-cam.
He sounds just like my late best buddy Jim when laughing. He committed suicide back in 2020. When Scott laughs, it hits me right in the feels
@@encompassthyeclipse7278must be onions around.
That's wholesome AF.
I've heard plenty of laughs on TH-cam, and Scott's is up there.
the coolest thing with musket-type weapons is the delay between the shot of the pin and the shot coming out of the barrel, also the big smoke coming out of it :) the slo-mo shows it well!
The pure joy of his genuine laughter is what keeps me coming back.
As a recent history graduate that specializes in military history, I approve and support this beginning a series of historical weapons. God Bless. Holy crap thanks for the likes 👍
@@samuelgarrod8327hey hey everybody’s a asshole, lol
What are you anticipating doing with that specialization? Genuinely curious. I know tone doesn't come across well on the internet.

Hahaha. A blunderbuss. Dutch engenering at its finest. You take a boat, start sailing. And if needed you clear the decks of anything or anybody unwanted, the blunderbus will keep you a happy sailor.
Don't destroy the limo! That is the perfect car to mount the punt gun.
Thats an awesome idea!
I agree DON’T DESTROY THE LIMO
Limo with a punt gun sounds like a Vegas intro.

I do not know how you got to this comment. But I asume it is a joke.@@christianweatherbroadcasti3491
Having the ability to run a Mercedes limo through a pasture and into a table, directly after shooting a blunderbuss. Truly the american dream
Other people use a paper target to pattern a shotgun. Scott uses the door of a VW! Dude, you are a maniac! Love it!
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 spammer
He missed that it hit the door mirror too.
@@paintballplayer700 he did 👍
@@paintballplayer700 I'd bet there were window strikes too
That "Chip O Matic 6000" totally LOL'ed the heaven out of me :).

I sympathize with the shoe situation. It's not easy finding quality footwear when your shoe size somewhere between "clown" and "sasquatch". Great video! I support the calls for more old-timey giant caliber weirdness.
As someone with US size 12 flippers for feet, I also sympathise with the shoe situation.
@@Sir_Uncle_Ned dont feel bad i wear a size US 15 shoe lol
MOOD
and i thought 13 1/2 was bad@@jakeforever9552
I wear 16 Brannock, with wide-splayed toes. JK Boots or Nick's, will make you a fantastic pair (boots or shoes) that will likely last for 10 or more years. And they're likely the most comfortable footwear you'll ever have. I will never go back to mass-produced footwear again,

Thank you Kentucky Ballistics, you've helped me find my new home defense. Now, I need someone to come attempt to break into my home.
drop the addy
As an English man I highly commend you for ye olde boombangstick. Top notch, jolly good show etc 🇬🇧
I laugh like a damn fool, every time he smokes a chronograph!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I cry whilst saving up for a labradar 😂
I was thinking to myself. This won't go well, then he fired😂 did exactly what I expected
the guts and blackpowder community is booming rn
9:54 Wow the new GTA sure looks great!
Gets almost killed by a 50 cal explosion, and now is shooting black powder weapons...
I love this guy^^
Well he's got it figured out now. If something goes wrong, just put a thumb in it.
Just put a thumb in it dude
I think some credit should be given to its accuracy with how short the barrel is, it might as well be a sawn-off, lol
Also I love that it's a percussion cap, one of the last great blunder busses of the 1800's
Also no sights...
@@CaptRons18thcentury And also likely smoothbore, this tube could use a few upgrades, lol
@@naxmorvigatore4168 yes Definitely smoothbore… precursor to the sawed off shot gun… I used to have one in flintlock with .72 cal (12 gauge) that was fun to shoot… traded it off years ago… need to finish up one in .69 cal and make a video … very fun guns to shoot… but short effective range…
That was sweet!
When I was a kid, my father had a rifle collection. Sadly, our place got robbed while we were away, and the firearms were all taken. One of them, my favorite in fact, was a blunderbuss.
It was roughly the same size as yours, and was also a black powder flintlock, but the barrel was a lot different, as it had a very much larger muzzle. It really flared out from a similar size barrel as yours had back at the stock end to a real bell-shaped muzzle.
Never got to see it fired, so you can imagine my delight when you popped up with one!
Thanks, Scott!
Scott must have been fun to watch as a kid, his mischievous laugh after shot, cracks me!
I laughed through the whole video watching Scott have so much fun!!! RIP everything that got hit with the larger loads!
I love watching Scott shoot the Blunderbuss and the Punt gun but I would like to see the loading procedure. Keep up the good work Scott!
Pretty sure TH-cam doesn’t allow that type of stuff.
He can do it, but he’ll get strikes against his channel which may lead to TH-cam disabling or deleting his channel. Sucks, but I don’t blame him for protecting his income.
Its simple powder shot ram the shot down make shure its all down nice a good push to be shure. Then pull hammer back half way then put the cap on nipple pull hammer all the way back aim pull triger BANG
@@blakew5672 wait what? why?
@@pacifistminigun3987
Pretty sure I’ve heard numerous guntubers mention that TH-cam demonetizes or puts strikes against videos that show “gunsmithing” content. Things like assembling an AR upper/lower, building a gun from a parts kit, doing modifications, attaching accessories, or in this case the loading procedure for a black powder gun are some of the things they take issue with in the past couple years. Basically you can make content shooting it, the content just can’t have instructions about how to operate the gun or change it in any way.
Pay attention to major gun TH-cam channels, you’ll probably notice you NEVER see them doing these things. These people built up a huge following that I’m sure pays them well. Having a video demonetized hurts (the other reason they usually blur red images that might be mistaken for blood). Getting strikes against your channel and having it removed and your past videos deleted by TH-cam would ruin them.
@@blakew5672 oh... I see...
That's a dumb rule imo
I have thought about getting an 18th Century Blunderbuss (modern replica of course). Seems appropriate for a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. No FFL required on black powder guns!
Какая красивая вещь! Просто ШЕДЕВР!!!
Every time Scott brings out the chronograph I know it's not gonna survive but part of me always hopes one makes it through a video unscathed
😂😂 I want to see a bigger chipomatic..
I'm reminded of the "red shirts" on star trek tos.
Why does he destroy them? Seeing the results would be so interesting!
I think he needs another sponsor besides tables😂
@@-dystopic- Because it's funny, and most other channels do it.
Do you know what channel this is?
Nacho channel and other puns like poupon.
I will admit for the really obscure stuff like a blunderbuss; I am curious as to what the muzzle velocity is.
Having a dialogue with your own shoulder about recoil? Scott is a confirmed mutant
Hey Scott! you can see the blunderbuss knocked the side view mirror off. I don't know if it was from direct impact or if it was from just being shook by the impacts. But based on the rest of the spread I think there is a solid case for direct impact.
Fantastic! I loved the "Chip - O - Matic"
i love this big bore guns, not because they're big but because how satisfying is the delay between hammer *thunk* and powder ignition in slo-mo
Yeah, that sound feels oddly pleasant.
@@Fireball7428 You can feel the chemical reaction in your hands without getting them burnt. I get a similar sensation from holding Roman candles.
A pistol is a personal correspondence to another individual
A blunderbuss is a "Hear Ye! Hear Ye!"
"To Whom It May Concern..."
“You are sentenced to”
Lmao this shoulder talking is fantastic
I haven't watch KB in awhile, but somebody please clip 6:46 for future generations. This man is an American treasure.
I do enjoy how blunderbuss and muskets worked.
There is some attraction to muzzle loaded arms
They are kinda fascinating right it makes you appreciate how far the technology has come.
Blunderusses & muskets are different.
You always get more satisfaction when you work for the end result I feel.
Me too! A few months ago I completely restored my late dad's old muzzle loader that he built in the 1980's (refinished stock, re-blued barrel, polished brass). Now it's hanging on my wall cause it looks too pretty to shoot, but I'll eventually shoot it.
It’s cool because you can easily make gunpowder and projectiles for them too. It’s possible to do the same for modern firearms, but it’s a lot more complicated and dangerous, especially smokeless powder if you want it to be storage safe.
Scott's shoulder as a character is very Kung Pow! Enter the Fist, and I'm here for it.
Weeeoooeeeeoeeeoeoeoeo 😅
Scott talking to his shoulder:Come inside! I'll get the Neosporin! Ba na na na na! Neo! Ba na na na na na na! Sporin!
We have trained him wrong, as a joke.
forgot about that movie lol
his name is shouldey
“Your mom is calling me” is my favorite bit
That's a man that enjoys his job.
The second shot you took at the VW Beetle with the 7-bore Blunderbuss just below the door is indeed a new hole.
I poked around in a few of those when I was younger. Never my own of course 😂
the iconic moments you had this episode...i was laughing all the way: "that's unacceptable" 🤣🤣
Without a doubt this man is gonna own a shoulder fired panzer some day
Did not expect to love this gun. I think the amount of light it produces is much fun to look at. Not the best tactical gun but the most fun.
First a harpoon gun, now a blunderbuss. He just needs the RPG to fill out his Malibu’s Most Wanted bingo card!
I love that little delay between the hammer hitting the percussion cap and the spark lighting off the powder. Thank you Scott for bringing out the old stuff. I enjoy shooting black powder era firearms!
7:23 had me rolling :D
Hey Scott, I went on over to your website and found your awesome KB stickers. Grabbed 2 of them; one for my ammo box and one for my son to put on his pink tutu like Scooter's that he wore for his new job as a Ballet. hehe that's pretty funny stuff right there man. Thanx for keeping us entertained bro!!
Was that a 9mm? It blew the lungs right out of Jeff!!!
the shoulder bit was hilarious! 10/10 dude
What isn't captured well in this video is the noise these things make. It doesn't even sound like a gunshot. They sound like a catastrophe. As if a locomotive landed on the ground behind you after falling from 1,000 feet.
7:48 like little shooting stars. So pretty LOL
The old Blunderbuss was originally made to sweep the decks of ships of the enemy before the boarding party came over.
It's the hand held version of the swivel cannon that was used from high decks.
Donderbus in het Nederlands
And the Germans complained about it and tried to make it illegal to use in warfare.
“Jeff don’t stand so good”.. 😂😂
Blunderbuss might make a good hallway clearing gun.
The Chronograph bit was definitely having me laugh harder than the rest. Expected, but not quite expected? lol
Same here, it was just perfect.
I love how when you shoulder the gun it muffles your shoulder talking lol
"Arggg, grandpa, I have strung me a musket filled with random trash... I will call it... A blunderbuss!"
"ARRGGGG THAT THING BE A DAMN GIMMICKY MATEY, US OLD SEA DOGS SWEAR BY THE CUTLASS FOR A REASON!"
Fricken beast of weapon Scott but more importantly, your humor in and with it all. Just great man!
No better way to offset a crappy workday than to watch Kentucky Ballistics. The opening alone was enough to lighten my mood.🤣🤣
(Also, am I the only one who thinks that the blunderbuss is the funniest name for a gun in history?)
"Probably your mom texting me"
😂
I wonder how many chronographs Paul Harrell has shot over the years. I kept waiting for it to happen in his vids, but KB has made my dream a reality. Thanks, Scott!
"Looks like the captives are acting up again. Jimmy, bring out the Ye olde shotgun!"
Fun fact: blunderbuss is from the Dutch "donderbus" which basically means "thunder box".
You can put glass in it too. Pirates did that quite often. Also don't forget power wise you can always put in more powder and wads
A bluderbuss would make a great mantle piece. Authorities are looking for some A-Arrgh. It's a great way to welcome unwelcome guests at the front door.
Just as the Founding Fathers intended.

Legally speaking in America non cartridge black powder guns aren’t considered firearms. Also I’m not a lawyer.
@@erroneous6947 I was going to point that out, but it wouldn’t go well with the joke. Important point in the future perhaps. Don’t tell ze furer
Scott’s shoulder deserves the Medal of Honor.
Dude you are so hilarious 😂 snapping the mannequin in half
Man you are so funny! I absolutely love your channel. It's my favorite to watch b4 work too out me in a great mood. Ur awesome man!
The shredder vomiting soda killed me 😂
Lol, same 😂😂😂
My condolences to your family
The chronograph gag gets me every single time 🤣
Gets me, too. I don't have a chronograph, so it kinda hurts a little bit.
at 4.07- impact in the rearview mirror too...its a cool Boom-toy, hehe!
Jeff wishes he still had the gig standing in the window at Abercrombie & Fitch.
I had to give you ten stars for finally bringing out the "shoulder cannon" ! Been waiting a long time for this. And you rocked it sir! I want ten of them! Lol. It's watermelon time! 🎉

was going to comment this
Various gun shenanigans then for no particular reason a limo doing dirt wheelies😂😂😂😂😂
Was feeling a bit down, then you blew that chronograph away , I could not stop laughing. Thank you for the costly mistake,Best thing I have seen in a while.😂
It’s not so funny when you realize he shoots one every time he pulls it out and is clearly aiming at it
@@chewy6220it’s still pretty funny tho
some of my favorite gun humor on TH-cam hands down.
I think Scott missed the boat😅! The Blunderbuss was made to shoot whatever you had lying around. Let's see some roofing nails, rocks and broken glass go down range.
How about a 6 inch summer sausage coming in hot?
Some golf balls or foosballswould be funny. I made a potato gun that shot foosballs, it’s incredible how destructive they can be
That's not actually true. It's just an early shotgun with a flanged barrel for ease of loading when you're on the move.
The Blunderbuss is essentially the Grandfather of all Shotguns
Shooting Blackpowder is my absolute favorite! Thanks for a great video Scott! 😅
YE OLD BOOMSTICK ENTERS THE ATMOSPHERE OF BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
7:08 Hey Scott, some of us actually are interested in chronograph readings from these insane guns. I'm not saying abandon the bit, but maybe take an off-camera actual reading and put the results on the screen as the chronograph disintegrates? 😁👍
The limbo at the end was unexpected 😂
the force of that buck passing by the chronograph has insane destructive force, just like a .50cal
For more flames from black powder, add some powdered non dairy creamer.
As a lover of blackpowder and muzzleloading this is a real delight! I ideally want to start a collection of this genre of weapons; I am off to a great start: An 1812-1816 Eli Whitney contract military musket, Armi-Sport 1861 Springfield Rifle-Musket, and 3 repros of cap & ball revolvers.
I'm glad to see your evasive maneuver training is coming in handy from the academy driving the lemo 🤣🤣🤣
The blunderbuss seems like a perfect fit for you Scott! Its got a huge barrel, funny ammunition, and a slight chance to explode!
As accurate as a sneeze, as dangerous as a dinosaur stampede. I like it!
