This is why I want an Airforce Texan in 7.62... that air rifle has a muzzle velocity of 1270 fps, and are used for game... if it can drop a deer or boar at 200 yds, what will this do to a man?
Fantastic, you have to wonder why, the air rifles did not catch on, compared to the muskets of the day. The very rich must have owned the gun powder factories.
More like the Giradoni was notoriously delicate and prone to breakage when compared to a musket. For situations like Lewis and Clark, it made sense since they didn't have to pack as much powder (they still had conventional muskets/rifles if I remember right) but for military use, it was phased out pretty quickly due to the rifles breaking down under strenuous use.
make it under barrel feed, bolt action loded and phematically charged. picture an oversized bengimen in 32 cal ball. shooting @ 1800 ftps consistantly 20 times. when mine is finished and tested. itll retail around 400.00
Being into paintball extensively (collecting, rebuilding, airsmithing, etc) with my own 3000 psi pumps and tanks....and I'm also into sidelock muzzleloading and antique firearms, shooting, collecting, building, whatever I get the opportunity to do, I think I see a project. But mine would be large bore and running probably 3000 psi.
I wish that they wouldn't play music that drowns out the speakers. This is common with a lot of instructional videos. Old men can't deal with multiple sounds. I listened for about ten seconds and then closed the video. When there is written text I can turn off the sound.
I agree. I posted that video 10 years ago when I was 54. SInce then I've grown increasingly intolerant of the idiotic music and sound effects that they shove down our ears in these shows.
The TH-cam channel "Forgotten Weapons" has an excellent video called "Girardoni Air Gun (original 1780 example)" where he demonstrates the pump in action.
BTW piecemeal, no one even knows how many hundreds of thousands or millions were SAVED by the use of firearms. What you fail to understand is that a firearm can often do it's job without firing a single shot. If you are finding it difficult to decipher my meaning, I suggest you do research on game theory, specifically the Nash Equilibrium. In this case "Mutually Assured Destruction".
It was less than 9500 homicides actually. HOMICIDES, NOT MURDERS. That number includes unjustifiable murders, and justifiable murders (ie: self defense, by both civilians AND law enforcement). And it's Just under 30,000 firearm related deaths total (not 60,000). Most of which (20,000 or so) are suicides. The remainder (around 1200-1400) were accident related. Considering civilians alone own over 300 million firearms, I'd say these numbers were inconsequential.
To GunOwnerDan, That's why the US with the worlds most open gun laws had over 10,000 people saved "to death" last year. If you count shootings in general, over 60,000. And you think this is a good thing.
Appreciate it's uploading, but the video itself is horrible. It wasn't a mystery, there was no intrigue. There are surviving, firing examples to this day.
8:23 1,500 strokes. That would explain the comfortable rounded butt end stock then, as well as a stronger than square, pressure resistance. Please kill that miserable, distracting, music. Don't reckon it was anywhere near the music played to the Indians by L. & C.. Research, and lower the volume of original period's regalia music if successful... and claim the efforts of the endeavor to... and out of respect for... your viewers. just sayin? -gilpin 2-21-16
They made it back "AGAINST" hundrets of thousands if not millions of Indians? LOL what is the fairy tale he tells here? Most Indians were neutral or even friendly to the expedition.
@@carpediem5232 I think that this is a major reason that they didn't have trouble with the Indians. After all, the Indians had trouble with each other; Sacagawea had been stolen from her Shoshone family by the Hidatsa and sold to a French trapper From Wiki: "In 1800, when she was about 12 years old, she and several other girls were kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa in a battle that resulted in the deaths of several Shoshone: four men, four women, and several boys. She was held captive at a Hidatsa village near present-day Washburn, North Dakota.[6]"
Simply amazing! Excellent documentary
The freaking load music drowns out the story. WTH?
100/100
I would LOVE to get my hands on one or a kit to build up. Anyone know where I can find such...
But when the second amendment was written all they had were single shot muskets that could only fire 2 shots per minute....
Yeah right!
The tribes were more impressed with the small cannon they had on their boat.
crazy and disturbing music in the background *WHY ?* !!

Much too expensive to manufacture. As each rifle required a skilled craftsman to make.
I want one!

Jennifer Royal "Inconsequential"? I'd say the number of firearm deaths do bring with them consequence; certainly political ones, wouldn't you say?
I still prefer Kentucky long rifles.

Hi where can I find those stats of 10,000 and 60,000 in 2014-2015 I sure could use them thank you peace

Why is this revolting music?

They let the Indians believe that all of their rifles were like that. Plus, without needing gunpowder, it was Big Medicine.
