I assumed it was a visual indicator of spread so you could bracket a target (like a flock of ducks) before firing, but then I remembered the barrels were rifled and probably had a very tight grouping.
I'd love to see the patterning of those barrel clusters at different ranges, it's probably a lot more effective than one would think. If the barrels were aligned right that thing would lay down one hell of a deadly shot pattern (it's essentially a shotgun with the accuracy of a rifle lol) out to surprising ranges I would imagine. Would also be cool to see slow motion footage of a shot into ballistic gel, close enough where the shot pattern matches the barrels. The shockwave interference would be awesome to see...
Volley guns were indeed produced at some point as a sort of "single shot shotgun" - dedicated to hunting. Six or seven small-caliber barrels loaded from the breech with something not unlike full-moon clips, and used as you would a shotgun... with the fact that it'll likely have far less spread due to the individual rifled barrels.
Roborough is a place just north of the current city limit of Plymouth in Devon, as you go up the A386 onto Dartmoor. It's very close to Buckland Abbey, where Sir Francis Drake lived.
That is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I can absolutely understand why they probably wouldn't let Ian take it apart and do the barrel swap for us. Still, I'd have loved to see it. Truly gorgeous metal and woodwork Thanks for sharing this with us, Gun Jesus.
The quality of that gun is exceptional. The second stock is so beautiful. This is a weapon that needs to be modeled into a game or something. What a fantastic piece.
I don't I think people who say that would have a problem with only those types of guns being available. If someone holds up a bank with that the police can take them while they're taking an hour to reload.

We'll just gather our kit and make another go of it on the morrow, shall we?" "Good show, my lads! Stiff upper lip, and all that. Better fortunes next time, ey wot? Chip chip!"
Oh it is even better than that. Seems the "mutiny", which I'm sure in Thornton's eyes it was, consisted of him being forced to resign his commission after facing a court-martial instigated by fellow officers. The reason for this, during a muster at Roborough Camp near Plymouth his men pulled him around in his carriage while cheering for him. It seems Thornton put this incident down to jealousy on the part of the officers and a personal vendetta the Commander in Chief, the Duke of York, had against him. Now as for his being a Francophile, during the 1 year peace between Britain and France in 1802 he personally presented expensive pistols to one Napoleon Bonaparte, and it was during this time he made his "sporting trip through France" that he wrote about. The Napoleonic Wars started the next year but even before that ended he had returned to France on another sporting trip and as soon as the war ended he moved to France.
You don't need to modify it to shoot all the barrels at once. Each trigger fires an entire barrel cluster, so if you put your index finger on the forward trigger and your middle finger on the rear trigger and pulled both at once, Bob's your uncle. The question is, would you ever be able to lift the arm of that shoulder above your head again after they finish all the reconstructive surgery you'll need after firing the gun like that?
This is just about the single coolest... thing that you've ever had on your channel. The ingenuity and the story make for an absolutely fascinating video. Cheers! "Perdition to Conspirators!"
A big danger of using this would be that there is no way to know if one of the barrels did not fire. Then, unless each barrel is checked individually with the ramrod to see if it is empty, it would be possible to double load. That would be a bad deal on the next shot.
I mean if you're playing on Discord or something like we'll probably be doing for the foreseeable future, it's not an issue. With the right discord bot or equivalent.

@@voiceofraisin3778 Judging by the low caliber and the fact that it's loaded with black powder, it probably doesn't kick much more than a .30-06. Don't take my word though, not an expert.
Glenmore Forrest seems to reference Scotland, where, in 1793, several men were arrested for sedition, including one Thomas Muir. It seems to me the man was obsessed with such things.
You missed a letter on the second stock, it's barely visible, but at the very end there is an "A". You can see it in the reflection at the very beginning of 6:53 (frame by frame is advised). What is written in French on the second stock is "LA VERITE GAGNERA" which would translate to "TRUTH WILL PREVAIL". Maybe another reference to the mutiny and the expression of the officer's bitterness towards the shade this event might have cast on his reputation ? Hard to know without more detail on his life.

I think the French engraving might be "La vérité gagnera" with the last "a" being faded which would translate to "Truth will win"

Can confirm there is a "LA" before "VÉRITÉ", and an "A" at the end of "GAGNER", very shallow and not quite visible at first sight, making it "GAGNERA" which is the 3rd person singular future tense of the verb "gagner", "to win".

This is just about the single coolest... thing that you've ever had on your channel. The ingenuity and the story make for an absolutely fascinating video. Cheers! "Perdition to Conspirators!"
14 damascus barrels...my heart can't take so much beauty.
This is the gun you shoot once and reload it whole week.
Yeah, but you only have to shoot it once!
6:54 "Colonel Thornton was apparently quite the francophile"
Ian: "Friendship ended with Karl, now Colonel Thornton is my best friend"
So you're saying he's a ouiaboo?
That loading tool is brilliant.
its always interesting to see these volley rifle, such a weird design that kind of actually went somewhere
Steve Campbell It’s a volley gun rifle, effective at much greater ranges.
"This ghost gun can fire a 14 caliber clip magazine. 14 rounds in half a second."
You forgot the forearm grip.
California legislators move to ban newly discover assault rifle.
A big danger of using this would be that there is no way to know if one of the barrels did not fire. Then, unless each barrel is checked individually with the ramrod to see if it is empty, it would be possible to double load. That would be a bad deal on the next shot.
GM: Roll 14d7 for me.
Player: *Aims flintlock at GM screen*
I mean if you're playing on Discord or something like we'll probably be doing for the foreseeable future, it's not an issue. With the right discord bot or equivalent.
When your gm gives up and says "just roll damage"
Some cat shows up to my table with one seven-sided die, I'm already side-eying him, never mind if he has fourteen of them.
@@thefez-cat Yep. You know you're getting into something sketchy when those seven-sided ones appear.
That is truly incredible and an amazing example of craftsmanship. I’m going out on a limb and thinking I’m 99.9% sure I can’t afford it.
This would probably fetch as much as a house if it were ever to go to auction.
It seems to be one of a kind so pretty sure nobody can afford it
@@Orcinus24x5 Probably a large house in downtown LA.
Me neither.
Speaking of limbs, it costs an arm and a leg, the leg to purchase, the arm being removed upon first firing.

"For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with 28 barrels, yeah"...
This is the 18th century version of the Extended Mags upgrade.
Ye Olde Beta C-Mag...
“Would you like a shotgun?”
“No thanks, I have my rifle.”
They really said “let’s take two nock valley guns and fest them together and call it a flintlock”
I really want to see the cloud of smoke that results from both sets of barrels being fired in quick succession.
Where'd everybody go??
Considering the recoil of that thing you're leaving backwards like Wile E. Coyote, probably leaving your shoes behind for added comedy value.
A smoke screen for concealment as you reload!
He was English, it would have been no more than an instant fog bank.
@@voiceofraisin3778 Judging by the low caliber and the fact that it's loaded with black powder, it probably doesn't kick much more than a .30-06. Don't take my word though, not an expert.
Miha Strajnar I agree, but would love to test it!
Wait, let me guess: there were 14 mutineers.
they should add this in guts and blackpowder
-You missed, General
-Gonna get them next week, when i finish reloading
"So how many barrels should we put on this bad boy?"
"Yes"
When you run out of ideas for what to get Sergeant Harper for Christmas.
Glenmore Forrest seems to reference Scotland, where, in 1793, several men were arrested for sedition, including one Thomas Muir. It seems to me the man was obsessed with such things.
You missed a letter on the second stock, it's barely visible, but at the very end there is an "A". You can see it in the reflection at the very beginning of 6:53 (frame by frame is advised).
What is written in French on the second stock is "LA VERITE GAGNERA" which would translate to "TRUTH WILL PREVAIL".
Maybe another reference to the mutiny and the expression of the officer's bitterness towards the shade this event might have cast on his reputation ? Hard to know without more detail on his life.
For when you have to fight the Predator in the early 1800's.
I'm reminded of how one of the Predators at the end of the second movie had a flintlock among his trophies.
Ian, your videos are a bright spot in my day. Thank you so much for all that you do!
"How many barrels do you want?"
"Yes."

Perdition to Conspirators
That sounds like a great title to a metal song \m/
The craftsmanship on this beauty is something to behold.
Until i see this video, i thought this kind of dakka only available in fictionland. Proof that reality often more stranger than fiction.
If it can be thought of it has been done to a gun somewhere. Regardless of how ludicrous or outlandish the concept can be.
You can build almost anything, whether it functions well or is practical is another matter entirely.
it is impossible to miss the target with a weapon like this!
I doubt that I've ever seen a labor of this caliber so well wrought.
The fact it even has a speed loader is amazing.
I'm seriously thinking that's more a double load prevention device more than a speed loader.
Ian love your work mate.
And I gotta say I'm almost as disappointed as you must be that you didn't get the chance to fire that gun.
- So how much barrel ye want good sire?
- Yes
The deer this guy was hunting: "Oh fu-"
I dont think you'd have to tell the butcher you want it all in hamburger.
"Don't bother to run, you'll only die tired."

“The founding fathers never could’ve imagined anything that shoots multiple rounds at a time”

But they didnt let women vote.
So they are always right and wise?
Girandoni, too...
*That doesn't take 20+ minutes to reload.

Yep.
"14 barrels on the dead man's chest, hoh-ho and a bottle of rum"
More like "14 bullets in the dead man's chest" tbh
No matter where you aim. Youre gonna hit something with this.
this is straight out of a video game. What a badass that guy must have been back in the day lol
what a obominable shot he was, you mean.. Can't hit with a decent sized bullet? Np, you'll certainly hit something with seven smaller ones
Next DOOM Game: "So, we upgraded the super shotgun once again..."
It's not a shotgun lol
Oh, you were in my hometown!
Le grand curtius is realy something :)
Hope you liked your stay!
