If its stupid and it works, its not stupid. The truly stupid one was the one my Grandad had to fly with, called the Violet club. It was so unstable that its centre was filled with ball bearings. To arm the device, a plastic plug was pulled out and the ball bearings allowed to fall out. Once loaded, the ball bearings had to be removed before engines of the bomber could be turned on (or they would destroy the bomb). The bomb was deemed so unstable that if armed and in the air, it was deemed too dangerous to land with it ; even a hard normal landing would detonate it. Once in the air, it had to be used. They were fitted on Valiants at a time when they, due to being flown hard, fast and low (which kills aircraft in next to no time) had major fatigue issues and were literally falling apart from the stress. The B-47 had similar issues (as would any aircraft). The instability of the bomb meant that crews never flew with it- which considering the thing weighed nearly a ton (and unlike conventional bombs, the weight is very concentrated)- drastically changed the handling of the aircraft. So, for a time, our defence was based on a bomb which had to be used if put in the air, on bombers under heavy strain and falling apart, with crews unexperienced on how to handle the bombers under such loads. Aka, how to accidentally nuke Norway.

Callum Turner fair enough, I’m just saying they’re meant to be to things completely. I think the main issue with the set up of a semi-automatic high caliber rifle from what I understand is a shooters preference, some people just don’t like the movement of the action when they’re making follow-up shots. I’ve heard some people say they it has to do with the consistency of the bolt action over semi-auto in that the bolt will always hit the same place. Again I have no clue as to rather or not that’s true but that’s what I’ve always heard.
This is truly an impressive firearm. It's incredible to see something so eclectic and unique, that is also so pragmatic and functional. Truly beautiful. I would love to see somebody attempt a lever action version of the same thing.
@harrikirvesniemi9685 One shouldn't need a dictionary to know those words.

Dick Danger it's true value maybe, Morphy Auctions estimated value $25K - 37.5K for this rifle, FG 42 up to 75K+, 1921 Thompson 80K+. All depends on who is bidding on the day though.
We need to embed some diamonds and rubies on the glass so we can up the scope price or a Fudd is gonna flip his lid at this poor rifle to scope price ratio.
I'm by no means an expert, so my immediate thought was that one bolt was connected directly to the handle and had a gear, and that the other bolt had just a gear so that it would form a planetary gear setup. I'm so used to conventional, forward-locking bolts so it was a "duh-why-didn't-I-think-of-that" moments when you showed the collar and rear locking lugs 😂 great video, maybe I could work for HK since I like complicating things lol
@@dongambino5308 I mean those are some beefy lugs in the back, and they probably tweaked the metallurgy of the collar, lugs, and action to make it work.
Afnan Zahran or you could just briskly walk away. Elephants run at about 12-14MPH. Humans can easily achieve 18-22MPH and do so for hours, but the elephants will tire after minutes.
The "easily achieve 18-22 MPH" is dubious - that's sprinting for mere mortals - and the "can do so for hours" is completely absurd. Unless you actually train as a runner, you cannot continuously run at your *average* run speed for hours. Let's say for the sake of argument that Szecsei has a nice even savanna to run away on - not trapped in a bush surrounded by marshy grass. I will grant you, if he kept his head and didn't just sprint wildly like you know, a frightened person, he could probably keep his distance long enough for the elephants to tire and give up. That is only because they are enormous creatures that take equally enormous energy to move and thus cannot keep up their aggressive chase for a very long time. Again, assuming he kept a cool head and didn't trip trying to save his life in the most expedient way possible, it's feasible he could get away unscathed, assuming he had the forethought to not trap himself with the terrain, flora, other dangerous creatures, etc. Feasible =/= easy.
Sure but the fastest recorded man was 29.5mph vs fastest recorded African elephant was 15.5 close to half. If you are unfit and playing with monsters you are either insane or backed up with some help. Honestly I have walked among elephants on a high fence preserve and they surely look like they are fast but really you can out walk them if you pay attention and keep your head. A light jog for 100 yards or so should do it. If you can’t manage that then may Darwin take you if you are dumb enough to approach. (I also learned Hippos can frigg’n run, at speeds approaching Olympic 800m sprinters). We stayed away from them even though my guide was authorized to show us to them and take up boating. He had earlier lost a fellow guid and two clients less then a month before.
It’s not about tiring, it’s about overheating. Humans in reasonable fitness can travel at 4-6mph over uneven terrain for 20hrs straight if property motivated. An elephant will need to stop and cool down in less the 4hrs. This is how our ancestors hunted everything. We are physically superior in this way to almost all mammals, especially if you carry a waterskin. Further I have never heard of elephants climbing mountains or scurrying up a steep slope so there’s that and additionally unless it’s a single bull without a babies and other elephants in its group it will no pursue very far so all points are moot. And if it is a single bull, it will give up and abandon its anger quite quickly because you aren’t that important to it and it’s actually quite a smart animal and will see the pointlessness of chasing a dumb human for more then a few minutes.

Well..... you don’t see that everyday. I’ve seen many double-barrel break Action rifles, but never a double-barrel bolt action rifle, this is both interesting and creative.
TheArklyte: that would be interesting, but that would most definitely be quite a challenge to design and manufacture a double barrel lever action rifle. But where there a will there a way
I think there is another maker of double barrle bolt action rifle... not sure though a lever or even a pump action rifle would be pretty cool just for shits and giggles ...if they can come up with double semi autos why not pumps and levers
Well, Mr. Szecsei has finally ended the argument about the best firearm for bear protection. No one can top ‘outrageously powerful bolt-action double barreled stopping rifle that costs as much as a luxury automobile and is made by an Austrian high-end’ gunsmith’. Remember, you can be too careful.
And is designed to insta kill things that will rip your arms off, shove them up your butt, reach down your throat, and shake your hand before decapitating you.
That would be an interesting engineering challenge, presuming that you want all three barrels to be magaizine-fed.Unless you went for all three barrels in one plane (like the action above, but one extra barrel wider and the middle barrel would have to eject straight up), I'm not entirely sure how that could done. Also not sure how/where the scope would be mounted if the centre barrel ejects straight up.
Maybe with 2 Barrels beeing the really nasty cartiges and one Barrel beeing like a normal rifle caliber, just like the german Drilling rifle for example?
@@dj1NM3 Two barrels on top, one underneath. Upper barrels have magazines at 45 deg and eject at 45 deg upwards and outwards. Bottom barrel has mag at 45 deg and ejects at 45 deg downwards on the other side. Aliens-style hydraulic Smart Gun harness is optional... ;-)

Depends on how you look at it. Imagine using a double barrel rifle and trying to open the breech only to realize that all you got to do is pull the bolt back to reload
I'm just over here still trying to wrap my head around the concept of an over-under double-barrel bolt-action magazine-feed system. This should keep me occupied for awhile.
Maybe as the bolt assembly rotates when the bolt is open. So, when you rotate the bolt, the entire assembly goes from vertical, to horizontal, picks up the rounds, then returns to under over, and chambers them. I'm just making stuff up, but maybe.
The bolt style and action works a lot like my .22LR my grandfather gave me. It has "Sportsmodel II" engraved on the barrel. Not sure of the manufacturer, but all the writing is in German. Sadly only a single shot, but it shoots super accurately. I've hit a groundhog at 150 paces with it on iron sights.
Friend: what you do to your shoulder? Me:fired both barrels of my rifle thats in 416 magnum at the same time. So its dust right now. F:oh that's not good did you get the elephant atleast? M: not sure we looked but there was just a large sticky pink spot on the ground. F:.... M: yea it wasnt a good day for either of us...
Having a rotating colar with the locking lugs on it is very interesting and could allow for the use of a much shorter bolt as well as the use of eccentrically shaped cartridges.
@Sableagle XD. True true... But seriously, one US national guard trying to earn his combat badge took a direct hit to the chest with an RPG7, and took three days to die... This was 2008 I think. I'm too lazy to look it up again.
Amazing!!!!! Talk about thinking outside the box!!! Everything about the finish and machining on this rifle screams high precision machining, high-quality craftsmanship & beautiful execution of the design.
Alan Quatermain gun, but with follow-up shots. Needs a "both" trigger, though. For when you need to shoot through the charging rhino and kill the monsterous pagan demigod behind it.
That is accomplished by putting your finger all the way through and just janking it home. Szecsei and Fuchs are not responsible for any permanent damage caused to your shoulder.
Well, some gun laws would then make that out to be a an "automatic weapon" You *could* place a steel block between the triggers, and don't tell anyone you did. This would work for really any double barreled firearm with separate triggers, but then you are immediately in constructive possession of an automatic firearm.
Apparently, any modification that links two triggers together, such as a block or, other means that will require you to pull one trigger for both rounds, which the law then considers as one trigger pull still falls under an automatic firearm. It's the wrong way to interpret what an automatic firearm is, really.
$12K to $24K is the normal ball park for custom made African drilling rifles most of which are tame compared to this mechanical beast! The prices are stupid high even old Mauser Actions pimped out by these sorts of custom African rifle makers go for crazy high prices.
*The correct pronounciation for Szecsei:* "Sz"=like "s" from sight, "e" = like "e" from less "cs" = like "ch" from "chain" "i" = like the "i" from "thin"
I don't even need to follow the link to know this is going to be an expensive gun. Kind of reminds me of the car Homer designs in The Simpsons and the guy at the unveiling asking "What does this monstrosity cost?" Although if I had unlimited money then I'd probably pick one up. I mean who knows when I might be charged by 3 elephants.
+Serdiuk Paul Maybe, depends on what the tooling costs or if they are custom made and there is no tooling to mass produce those fine rifles. Then again, I do not know what such a rifle would cost to manufacture if you just went to a competent gunsmith with the drawings and asked that person to manufacture the rifle.
The greatest expense is aligning the barrels to shoot to the same spot. While computer controlled machines can make the action, aligning the barrels will require hours of work by a skilled (expensive) gunsmith.
When I was a kid, I found an old 1976 "Shooter's Bible," which is/was basically a giant catalog for various firearms and accessories. There was a full-page ad for one of these double-barrel bolt actions, with no price listed. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Many years later, I happened across one in an antique store, also with no price tag. I asked how much for it, and the dealer said, "You can't afford it, kid." (I was 20, so fair enough.) Then, in 2009, that year's Shooter's Bible hilariously listed them for $499, which everyone assumed was a typo for $49,900 or something, and is still the best guess at a price I've ever seen for one of these new.
3:45 I literally said "ooooohhhhhhhhhh" out loud when I saw how it works. That's absolutely ingenious in its simplicity, I probably would have dreamt up a horrible mess of gears & cogs to tie two rotating bolts together.
@@williamsager805 that's what makes double rifles expensive. making the barrels shoot bullets that make holes reasonably close to each other take a lot of time and effort.
I'm wondering if 3D printed dummy cartidges would be feasible to demonstrate the working principle of some of the rather unusual guns. And in case anyone has been wondering about the over-under variant of this rifle. It looks like they just rotated the whole thing by 90°.
Hold on, did he almost pronounce the Hungarian name right? he got both the sz and the cs correct, only the 'i' at the end was incorrect. Very well done Ian!
I am both amused and slightly horrified that Mr. Szecsei’s reaction to being charged by three elephants simultaneously was “I need more gun,” and not “Maybe this is a sign that I need to hang up the spurs.” I’m amused because this monster exists and it’s glorious. I’m horrified because I know someone somewhere will try to one up it with something terrifying.
They're actually working on a 3rd barrel edition so Szecsei can get that last elephant.

“Semi-automatics aren’t reliable enough,”
*meanwhile in Barrett’s garage*
catsndogs98 To be fair, that’s technically anti-material rifle, it’s not got the accuracy this gun has.
@@MrZpeppers If the M82 can hit a target over a mile away it can hit an elephant at 50y.
Callum Turner fair enough, I’m just saying they’re meant to be to things completely. I think the main issue with the set up of a semi-automatic high caliber rifle from what I understand is a shooters preference, some people just don’t like the movement of the action when they’re making follow-up shots. I’ve heard some people say they it has to do with the consistency of the bolt action over semi-auto in that the bolt will always hit the same place. Again I have no clue as to rather or not that’s true but that’s what I’ve always heard.
@@Turgz wouldn't an M82 disintegrate its target? Kinda destroys your trophy and/or meat of the game.

How expensive is your rifle?
*Swarovski* scope expensive.
It's one of those "If you have to ask" kind of things.
Still cheaper than an FG 42 or 1921 Thompson I'm guessing.
@@Tiger351 not to be a dick but you'd be guessing wrong. You could buy a house at the edge of town for what that cost.
Dick Danger it's true value maybe, Morphy Auctions estimated value $25K - 37.5K for this rifle, FG 42 up to 75K+, 1921 Thompson 80K+. All depends on who is bidding on the day though.
We need to embed some diamonds and rubies on the glass so we can up the scope price or a Fudd is gonna flip his lid at this poor rifle to scope price ratio.
I'm by no means an expert, so my immediate thought was that one bolt was connected directly to the handle and had a gear, and that the other bolt had just a gear so that it would form a planetary gear setup. I'm so used to conventional, forward-locking bolts so it was a "duh-why-didn't-I-think-of-that" moments when you showed the collar and rear locking lugs 😂 great video, maybe I could work for HK since I like complicating things lol
Makes you wonder how many times they got it wrong until it worked... The action is fascinating
@@keithadams812 probably weak though, due to the back lugs
@@dongambino5308 I mean those are some beefy lugs in the back, and they probably tweaked the metallurgy of the collar, lugs, and action to make it work.
Clearly there needs to be a version with three barrels, for when you absolutely need to kill the guy you're aiming at as well as all his ancestors.

When you have been chased by 4 elephants..
I don't know if triplets are available in the caliber required for elephants, but they do exist for hunting.
"Fuchs me"
-After being trampled by an elephant.
Afnan Zahran or you could just briskly walk away. Elephants run at about 12-14MPH. Humans can easily achieve 18-22MPH and do so for hours, but the elephants will tire after minutes.
The "easily achieve 18-22 MPH" is dubious - that's sprinting for mere mortals - and the "can do so for hours" is completely absurd. Unless you actually train as a runner, you cannot continuously run at your *average* run speed for hours. Let's say for the sake of argument that Szecsei has a nice even savanna to run away on - not trapped in a bush surrounded by marshy grass. I will grant you, if he kept his head and didn't just sprint wildly like you know, a frightened person, he could probably keep his distance long enough for the elephants to tire and give up. That is only because they are enormous creatures that take equally enormous energy to move and thus cannot keep up their aggressive chase for a very long time. Again, assuming he kept a cool head and didn't trip trying to save his life in the most expedient way possible, it's feasible he could get away unscathed, assuming he had the forethought to not trap himself with the terrain, flora, other dangerous creatures, etc. Feasible =/= easy.
Sure but the fastest recorded man was 29.5mph vs fastest recorded African elephant was 15.5 close to half. If you are unfit and playing with monsters you are either insane or backed up with some help. Honestly I have walked among elephants on a high fence preserve and they surely look like they are fast but really you can out walk them if you pay attention and keep your head. A light jog for 100 yards or so should do it. If you can’t manage that then may Darwin take you if you are dumb enough to approach. (I also learned Hippos can frigg’n run, at speeds approaching Olympic 800m sprinters). We stayed away from them even though my guide was authorized to show us to them and take up boating. He had earlier lost a fellow guid and two clients less then a month before.
It’s not about tiring, it’s about overheating. Humans in reasonable fitness can travel at 4-6mph over uneven terrain for 20hrs straight if property motivated. An elephant will need to stop and cool down in less the 4hrs. This is how our ancestors hunted everything. We are physically superior in this way to almost all mammals, especially if you carry a waterskin. Further I have never heard of elephants climbing mountains or scurrying up a steep slope so there’s that and additionally unless it’s a single bull without a babies and other elephants in its group it will no pursue very far so all points are moot. And if it is a single bull, it will give up and abandon its anger quite quickly because you aren’t that important to it and it’s actually quite a smart animal and will see the pointlessness of chasing a dumb human for more then a few minutes.

Well, Mr. Szecsei has finally ended the argument about the best firearm for bear protection. No one can top ‘outrageously powerful bolt-action double barreled stopping rifle that costs as much as a luxury automobile and is made by an Austrian high-end’ gunsmith’. Remember, you can be too careful.
And is designed to insta kill things that will rip your arms off, shove them up your butt, reach down your throat, and shake your hand before decapitating you.

If he got charged by 3 elephant why not build a 3barrel bolt action rifle
That would be an interesting engineering challenge, presuming that you want all three barrels to be magaizine-fed.Unless you went for all three barrels in one plane (like the action above, but one extra barrel wider and the middle barrel would have to eject straight up), I'm not entirely sure how that could done. Also not sure how/where the scope would be mounted if the centre barrel ejects straight up.
My not just bring a Gatling gun at that point?
Maybe with 2 Barrels beeing the really nasty cartiges and one Barrel beeing like a normal rifle caliber, just like the german Drilling rifle for example?
@@dj1NM3 Two barrels on top, one underneath. Upper barrels have magazines at 45 deg and eject at 45 deg upwards and outwards. Bottom barrel has mag at 45 deg and ejects at 45 deg downwards on the other side. Aliens-style hydraulic Smart Gun harness is optional... ;-)

Imagine using a double barrel rifle and trying to open the breech only to realize that all you got to do is pull the bolt back to reload
I'm just over here still trying to wrap my head around the concept of an over-under double-barrel bolt-action magazine-feed system.
This should keep me occupied for awhile.
i now right? are the barrels offset diagonally? is one barrel placed a little farther forward than the other? does the magazine feed from the side?
Maybe as the bolt assembly rotates when the bolt is open. So, when you rotate the bolt, the entire assembly goes from vertical, to horizontal, picks up the rounds, then returns to under over, and chambers them.
I'm just making stuff up, but maybe.
Well that doesn't sound overly complex and magical or anything! I'd love to see that "twist and shout" dance go on though.
My question exactly
On their website, it looks like the magazine is on the side. Very low profile still, though. This company makes some faaancy stuff👀
The bolt style and action works a lot like my .22LR my grandfather gave me. It has "Sportsmodel II" engraved on the barrel. Not sure of the manufacturer, but all the writing is in German. Sadly only a single shot, but it shoots super accurately. I've hit a groundhog at 150 paces with it on iron sights.
With two triggers, you could light off both barrels simultaneously. Ouch on both ends.
I believe that is true of most common DB elephant guns.
Friend: what you do to your shoulder?
Me:fired both barrels of my rifle thats in 416 magnum at the same time. So its dust right now.

I was waiting for someone to say it's Secsi as Fuch. I just took one for the team.
Having a rotating colar with the locking lugs on it is very interesting and could allow for the use of a much shorter bolt as well as the use of eccentrically shaped cartridges.
For a double barrel bolt action rifle it looks very opulent however I’m more amazed of the novelty of a quality double barrel bolt action rifle.

Amazing!!!!! Talk about thinking outside the box!!! Everything about the finish and machining on this rifle screams high precision machining, high-quality craftsmanship & beautiful execution of the design.
8 shots of Magnum! That's some back up.
I think by the time the elephants charge they are supposed to be angry enough.
You can get an 8shot Magnum setup at the pharmacy, in the adult section.
Alan Quatermain gun, but with follow-up shots. Needs a "both" trigger, though.
For when you need to shoot through the charging rhino and kill the monsterous pagan demigod behind it.
That is accomplished by putting your finger all the way through and just janking it home. Szecsei and Fuchs are not responsible for any permanent damage caused to your shoulder.
Well, some gun laws would then make that out to be a an "automatic weapon"
You *could* place a steel block between the triggers, and don't tell anyone you did.
This would work for really any double barreled firearm with separate triggers, but then you are immediately in constructive possession of an automatic firearm.
Ian Lehman Eh, not quite. Two triggers, under US law, equals two trigger pulls (which is weird, but hey) - hence, legal.
Apparently, any modification that links two triggers together, such as a block or, other means that will require you to pull one trigger for both rounds, which the law then considers as one trigger pull still falls under an automatic firearm. It's the wrong way to interpret what an automatic firearm is, really.
What a finish though, right down to the machining on the cross material parts. Everything looks so well built.
Never heard of anything like it. Really simple but genius design.
That is ingenious! The locking collar and non rotating bolt is just amazing.
An absolutely stunning rifle! A Rolls Royce of hunting rifles,you can hear the quality when Ian worked the action. Sounds like velvet.

sternonisoil theoretically you could be charged by up to 8 with this...
It doesn't need to be expensive, though, as the action is mechanically simple.
+Serdiuk Paul
Maybe, depends on what the tooling costs or if they are custom made and there is no tooling to mass produce those fine rifles. Then again, I do not know what such a rifle would cost to manufacture if you just went to a competent gunsmith with the drawings and asked that person to manufacture the rifle.
Estimated sale price is $27,500 and counting....
The greatest expense is aligning the barrels to shoot to the same spot. While computer controlled machines can make the action, aligning the barrels will require hours of work by a skilled (expensive) gunsmith.
Holy cow! That is some amazing engineering...
THAT IS THE COOLEST GUN i HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
When I was a kid, I found an old 1976 "Shooter's Bible," which is/was basically a giant catalog for various firearms and accessories. There was a full-page ad for one of these double-barrel bolt actions, with no price listed. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Many years later, I happened across one in an antique store, also with no price tag. I asked how much for it, and the dealer said, "You can't afford it, kid." (I was 20, so fair enough.) Then, in 2009, that year's Shooter's Bible hilariously listed them for $499, which everyone assumed was a typo for $49,900 or something, and is still the best guess at a price I've ever seen for one of these new.
