I think back then most hand guns were just plain bad when it comes to rifling in the barrels and ammunition quality. Mix that with glorification from both sides as to how close they were and how they performed in a fire fight, and thats why you get tons of shots and no one hit most of the time. That and some of these people were friends and family so they might not have been enthusiastic about blasting each other. Which also I'm sure stung more emotionally when someone did get hit or killed. A ton of these people knew each other. Thats whats crazy.
@@tomogburn2462 Also in a firefight you are not always trying to shoot the assclown trying to shoot you. Hitting the thing they are using as cover keeps them from poking their head out and taking pot shots at you; allowing you to change position easier.
When I was a kid my mom and I visited Billy the Kid’s grave. The big cage and all was there and for some reason people had thrown a lot of change into it. (No idea why) being a small kid I slipped through the cage and started grabbing the money. My mom had turned around then turned back seeing me. After about 5 minutes of arguing I slipped out and was forced to throw the money back in. I’d like to think Billy would at least appreciate me slipping through the cage at least. Lol
I did a similar thing at a fountain that people chucked money into, it was not a special place it was just in a shopping center and I was 6 and seen free money. I got a big ass whooping for that one and put the money back also. A few years later they had to stop the fountain because people kept putting detergent in it and filling the center with bubbles. Rip Billy the kid an legendary mad lad
Worth noting that the reason Billy was so upset at Tunstall's death is that he was the first father figure and role model he ever had. Gave him a job, taught him to be a rancher, gave him purpose in life. When he was killed he lost his only role model, this is after he lost his mother and father previously. No wonder he went off the rails.
Lol literally was. Parents died when he was young his step father beat him not even enough to eat. That is so true its so funny youre being sarcastic. You small 🧠 kid...

Young Guns, that's what got me into the story of Billy The Kid way back in the 80's. He and his gang. Fascinating story. Must have watched the VHS tapes of those movies 100 times.
Honestly, one of the last great ensemble casts of all those young actors from the 80’s. Emilio, Kiefer, and Charlie Sheen, among many others? So good. When I was a kid I figured this was like some superhero movie of outlaws, not knowing much beyond names. Finding out that while the story took some liberties, the Regulators were real and were deputies for a time, etc., blew my mind.
The governor who refused to pardon Billy the Kid is the same guy who wrote Ben Hur. He was also a Union Civil War general and was later ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. He's probably best known for being the scapegoat of Shiloh, though.

Stopped in a restaurant in New Mexico and they had an old, beat up revolver on a plaque with a large sign that said "The only gun in the West NOT owned by Billy the Kid".
If I can make a suggestion, look up a guy called Yukio Mishima. He was this Japanese author that after getting pissed off about the fact that Japan was veering away from tradition, built his own private army, which eventually lead to him holding the general of the Japanese army hostage in his own office and committing Seppuku to prove a point. This was in 1970.
He wasnt a general, he wasnt ever in army either. Instead he was an author and arguably The greatest modern Japanese author whose Life was much More madladdy than his little militia thing. He was an extremely famous homosexual bodybuilder author obsessed with death WHO would openly write jos fantasies and such into his heavily autobiographical novels. Now, yes, he had a small private militia and made an "attempt" at a military coupe but this whole thing was More of an theatre ACT to facilate jos seppuku, not an actual attempt at a coup. What makes this Even Wilder IS The fact that all of this was on his novels from his first novel onwards. His first novel, confessions of a mask Tella a story of young homosexual in wwii era Japan WHO struggles with his sexuality and tries and fails at loving a woman all The whole being obsessed with these erotic fantasies of death and murder and torture and glorious death. And all that was from his own Life. Oh, and IT was published on 1949, at Time where homosexuality was completely taboo in Japan. And IT became a huge success despite its story and themes. Yukio mishima was truly a madlad but youre really, really short selling HIM and outright presenting completely false pictures of WHO he was.
I could listen to this man 22 hrs a day just tell in stories!!! Hell he could describe paint drying and I'd be fuking enthralled! Idk why but Scotsmen are almost always fantastic story tellers. My father is the same way.
I’m also kind of sad that you didn’t talk about the left handed myth. For many years people thought that billy the kid was left handed. That first picture was considered proof since his side arm was on his left hand side. This myth was so influential that there was a movie starring Paul Newman called “The Left Handed Gun”. However it wasn’t until the 1990’s when western historians noticed that the loading gate on the Winchester he was holding was also on the left hand side. The company never made any rifles with an ambidextrous loading gate. It turns out that the photo was a tin type and was reversed.
I thought that too. I assume that there probably weren’t many buildings out in the American west that didn’t have hatchets in them. They probably used it to chop up firewood.
i thought the same but who cares, the video was informative and entertaining and thats what i was here for, not to wonder about a year being right, now wheres that disco ball
It's always hilarious to hear Billy with a Western (US) drawl in movies - all contemporary accounts say it was instantly obvious that he was from New York City. Since he was from the Bowery area when the "Bowery B'hoy" look/accent were at their height he would've sounded like Leo Gorcey in the old Bowery Boys movies.
There is an interesting anecdote about the shotgun he stole when escaping from the prison, apparently the shotgun was unloaded when he found it, and as it was a muzzle-loading shotgun, had to load the thing manually before firing it. He was unable to find any buckshot, so he used 13 dimes, (US $0.10 coins) for projectiles, and reportedly said after the fact that it was "The best dollar-thirty I ever spent."
sumeahs king it’s not really a “little kid” thing. I mean, I see it used mostly by college students. It’s just slang. Why don’t you like it, because it’s overused, or just because the joke doesn’t really connect with you? (Not as in you don’t get it, just that you don’t find it funny)
@@formerctgovernordannelmall1452 What's funny about replacing a "k" with a "c"? Just dumb and when people start saying something because they think it makes them look cool, because they see other people do it, it's just weird.

Some mad lads I would love to see covered in future episodes: -Richard Williams (the animator) -Varg Vikernes/the Norwegian black metal scene -Steve Irwin -Christopher Lee -Robert Crumb
Want the short version? Richard Williams: "I don't even know who this is". Varg Vikernes: "Stabbed a fellow musician for no good reason, went away for a long time, then got his youtube channel deleted and was eventually shot by hunters, who mistook him for a bear. (And his kids grew up to become morons. Watch more pr0n!)" Steve Irwin: "Handled all sorts of poisonous and dangerous critters for TV-fame.. and was stung by a stingray. What an idiot." Christopher Lee: "One of the finest actors of his generation and a screen legend... to bad we'll never find out about his alleged time as a mad lad..." Robert Crumb: "Drew comics. If his parents hadn't been into amphetamine so much, it would have been a lot better for him. And his two psychotic brothers..." End of story.
I was not prepared for the absolute badassness when he said their posse was called "The Regulators". That's like Judge Dredd, but these guys actually fuckin existed!
Is that the explanation for the "It's your boy, Raid Shadow Legends" thing? I've seen Dank say it twice now and also heard shoe on head say it while advertising the game as well. (I'm not a gamer so if it's origin is in gaming culture then I've got no idea)
@@jordythebassist Yes, that's the reason why Dank said that. The Raid Shadow Legends Marketing Team have thrown their game everywhere - to the point now that its a joke whenever you hear that game.

Vegas was a tiny spot of nothing in a wasteland back then. Imagine Goodsprings from Fallout: New Vegas, but smaller. It didn't become what it is today until organized crime figures essentially created it to run gambling so they'd have a place to launder money in the mid 20th century.
tons of em. my ancestor john barton was a tritorial marshal in azbfore the turn of the last century, i have held his 45s one had 4 notches and the other had 6 . thats 10 men. and john barton was known as a shotgunner .i.e. he went in blastin with a coach gun gun then would draw his side irons
Ah. The old west. A lot of criminals hung out in the area I live due to it being indian territory and all at the time. And Billy wasn't so much an outlaw as a man in a hard spot, all the time, for most of his life
Most of his story is told by him and can't be verified, and as the man is a compulsive liar, are mostly lies. Makes a good movie, but he was laughably full of shit.
Golvic Right? Diogenes is quite literally the ultimate madlad. Fact Fiend did a pretty good video on him as well, I hope we can see Dank’s take on it as well.

A true American badass. 👍
I feel like sometimes these Mad Lads videos are the hidden gems of youtube. These never get old and i get excited everytime a new one appears on my feed.

Young guns and young guns 2 did quite a good job of telling the story of Billy the kid, I remember it being in when I was younger
Stopped in a restaurant in New Mexico and they had an old, beat up revolver on a plaque with a large sign that said "The only gun in the West NOT owned by Billy the Kid".
Neat!

"It was a game of two and I got there first" - Billy the Kid. --- Damn that whole scene is literally troll god status level.
If I can make a suggestion, look up a guy called Yukio Mishima.
He was this Japanese author that after getting pissed off about the fact that Japan was veering away from tradition, built his own private army, which eventually lead to him holding the general of the Japanese army hostage in his own office and committing Seppuku to prove a point. This was in 1970.
The og ambiguously bisexual fascist bodybuilder
He was an author but definitely a mad lad
He wasn't a general and he formed a private militia. Calling it an army is too generous. But yes, he was a mad lad.
@@AEW86
Fair enough
He wasnt a general, he wasnt ever in army either. Instead he was an author and arguably The greatest modern Japanese author whose Life was much More madladdy than his little militia thing. He was an extremely famous homosexual bodybuilder author obsessed with death WHO would openly write jos fantasies and such into his heavily autobiographical novels.
Now, yes, he had a small private militia and made an "attempt" at a military coupe but this whole thing was More of an theatre ACT to facilate jos seppuku, not an actual attempt at a coup. What makes this Even Wilder IS The fact that all of this was on his novels from his first novel onwards. His first novel, confessions of a mask Tella a story of young homosexual in wwii era Japan WHO struggles with his sexuality and tries and fails at loving a woman all The whole being obsessed with these erotic fantasies of death and murder and torture and glorious death. And all that was from his own Life.
Oh, and IT was published on 1949, at Time where homosexuality was completely taboo in Japan. And IT became a huge success despite its story and themes.
Yukio mishima was truly a madlad but youre really, really short selling HIM and outright presenting completely false pictures of WHO he was.
I could listen to this man 22 hrs a day just tell in stories!!! Hell he could describe paint drying and I'd be fuking enthralled! Idk why but Scotsmen are almost always fantastic story tellers. My father is the same way.
I’m also kind of sad that you didn’t talk about the left handed myth. For many years people thought that billy the kid was left handed. That first picture was considered proof since his side arm was on his left hand side. This myth was so influential that there was a movie starring Paul Newman called “The Left Handed Gun”. However it wasn’t until the 1990’s when western historians noticed that the loading gate on the Winchester he was holding was also on the left hand side. The company never made any rifles with an ambidextrous loading gate. It turns out that the photo was a tin type and was reversed.
Damn boi you must have a PhD in Dark Souls lore analysis
Maybe he converted his Winchester and this is why he wanted in back so bad. :D
BottledBanana Nope I just love history.
well he didn't mention it because WHO GIVES A SHIT?

“ Billy found a hatchet in the court house” ah yes, the typical place to find a hatchet
I thought that too. I assume that there probably weren’t many buildings out in the American west that didn’t have hatchets in them. They probably used it to chop up firewood.
Jacob symons Didn’t they have them in case of fires? For chopping open doors or whatever?

It's always hilarious to hear Billy with a Western (US) drawl in movies - all contemporary accounts say it was instantly obvious that he was from New York City. Since he was from the Bowery area when the "Bowery B'hoy" look/accent were at their height he would've sounded like Leo Gorcey in the old Bowery Boys movies.

I feel like the difficulties of today’s world stem from the fact that the wrong people are hellbent, and the right people just try to get along.
Exactly
There is an interesting anecdote about the shotgun he stole when escaping from the prison, apparently the shotgun was unloaded when he found it, and as it was a muzzle-loading shotgun, had to load the thing manually before firing it. He was unable to find any buckshot, so he used 13 dimes, (US $0.10 coins) for projectiles, and reportedly said after the fact that it was "The best dollar-thirty I ever spent."
lol if true.
A muzzle loader in 1878? Maybe.. but I find it strange a gunfighter would use a muzzle loader. Brass casings became the standard after the civil war.
Billy said it in the movie anyways.. dont remember the context around loading with coins though
Is you do an Absolute Mad Lads about Pablo Escobar.
