Hey, if you ever feel like you aren't living up to your potential, remember even Germany made a horrifically out of date revolver that ejected rounds via a stick. And they got it together later.
Honestly this was a pretty big confidence boost
And lost two wars in a row…
Thanks. Needed that!
@@allangibson8494to quote a joke by the late great, norm macdonald.. "Germany decided to go to war.. with who, the world! .. and they almost won!" And he later said after ww2 that germany shouldnt be allowed to be a country as it twice now committ war against, "the WORLD" 😂 rip norm, but yeah despite losing they put up a hell of a fight scary enough.
Othais you're a damn genius. Mae gave you lemons, expecting lemonade, and you gave her a Baghdad Battery instead.
Good that, but make it Assault & Baghdad Battery.
@@jonrolfson1686 this is going right over my head
@Salty_Armorer This is such a raw quote hot darn. Can I use this?
That feel when your standard issue revolver has a worse reloading process than a Cap and Ball conversion from a decade prior.
Never realized how long it’s been since we heard “war were declared”
[BLINK]ENGAGEMENT WERE DECLARED[/BLINK]
I rewatch random C&Rsenal episodes fairly regularly in the background so it hasn't been that long for me.
But I also noticed when all the neutrals were coming out that it'd been awhile.
I always cringe and say "War WAS declared"
@@steamboatmodel "War were declared" is a Futurama reference. Just in case you didn't know. /notbeingcondescendingorsarcastic
Wiener Dog with Pickelhaub is my new favorite thing.
That sir, is Fürst von Wurst.
The dogs name is Dackel, Dachshund or Teckel, and the offical name of the helmet was ,Helm mit Spitze'.
Should've settled the war with a dogfight between pickelhaub wearing dachshund and a poodle.
What are ye ol yankees up to this time, hu?
Finger weg von meinem Würstchen!
I love those shots of dogs and cats with the troops that just pop up in these reels.
The 79 is a club because the grip was based on the old muzzle loader. When you shot the one, muzzle loaded round, you needed it to be a club.
"Distasteful American contracts"
You've just yee'ed your last haw, Kraut.
COWABUNGA IT IS
Though could you have imagined the surprise of a yankee doughboy coming up to a trench with a colt 1917 and a German private steps up and says “Zis trench isn’t big enough for ze both of us yankee” and draws a colt 1873?
I love this comment section!
Sharpening the algorithm ejection stick.
[Passes the whetstone over for more engagement.]
does adding an answer to another comment work? honestly curious :) (i know very little about youtube's algorithm)

"Best Revolver To Beat Your Enemy To Death With After You Run Out Of Ammo" = Participation Trophy
I'd still rather a S&W Russian No3. In that scenario, even as a bludgeoning implement, as well as a shooter. Apples to apples wise. If stuck with a single action revolver.
Honorary mention to the webley for the bayonet.
When the Colt Single Action Army is the technological upgrade something has gone wrong with the design process. The Colt has many virtues, not ejecting the cartridges with a stick, until now, was not high on my list.
There is a certain whimsical sadness when one considers the almost incalculably vast advantage in handling and shootability that the adoption of a Colt’s Model P would have provided, or the fast reloading option that a Smith & Wesson Number 3 variation would have given to German soldiers. Widespread issuance of either of those revolvers in preference to the awkward Über Alles in der Welt disutility of the Reichsrevolvers might, in combination with the influence of Karl May’s popular German Language western novels, have fostered in the 19th century German psyche pro-American sentiments so prevalent that the disastrous wars of the 20th century could have been avoided. Or not.
The ejector having a spring should be right below that, the nagant does not have that.
@@jonrolfson1686 everything Germany touches is disastrous, nothing could have changed that.
@@jonrolfson1686 honestly, Germans were pretty America friendly before ww1 and didn't want the US in the fight in both wars. In ww1 the US was talked into the war mainly through british propaganda.
And ww2 very likely wouldn't have taken place without ww1 having the outcome it had ...
It's hard to predict which level of support fascism would have had in an alternate history were all the powers in Europe would have settled for an exhausted "tie" instead of battling it out till one side had to concede victory to the other though ...
@@brag0001 The history channel made a good miniseries on WW1 and 2 and it does a good job of showing how the first set the stage for the other. As for alternate history I think it might have changed things quite a bit if the victors of WW1 had not been so heavy handed about punishing the other side.
You really should have called the ejector rod the Patented Poplar Pokey.
Still love the Reichsrevolver '83 in Verdun
My most used Rifle and sidearm are the SMLE and Luger, when my favorite weapons are the Gewehr 1898 and Reichsrevolver, I just try to keep it as realistic as possible when I play 😆
Having a hide-y hole nearby is the key to victory whenever I use the big iron, reload sucks but its knockdown is great

@@captmuttonchops That's a very good engagement.
@@captmuttonchops i will.

This seems to fit Mae's hand so much better than the '71.
Ein dachshund mit pickelhaube!!! 😻
Must be why they switched to the wooden stick. Dual purpose FTW!
Oh no. Barbeque, the one thing no one can joke about!
snicker. Sure.
"Massive and Strange and not like anything else" Mae describing Reichsrevolver or Othias
both
I honestly had that exact thought, lol
This is some rapidly advancing stick technology, at this rate the prussians would be using aluminum sticks with similar weight to the wood, but the same design as the older metal rod.
Picklhaub Dachshund is my favorite war were declared montage ender
The safety now does something, but we're being issued sticks instead of brass clearing rods. I don't know how I feel about this.
You had sticks issued? Luxury!
This may be the mvp in our ammo shortage world.
Rejoining the conversation earlier about a colt single action compared to reichs pistol. It hit me the Schofield would have been a better option even.
Great info! My boss gifted me a model 83 that his wife's great grandfather carried during ww1. This video helped me identify the marking on it. Thanks!
There is a Berlin bunker museum full of stuff dug up when rebuilding the city. One display was the effects of a dead T34 crew and one of them had a Reichsrevolver. Definitely not a Nagant due to the octagonal barrel section and sheer bloody size. There was also all kinds of weird Volksturm stuff including Berthiers and Sturmgewehrs.
It failed the Red Army as well then?
Much engagement. Very algorithm.
wow
Do it for the Doge!
And I missed you saying "....when War Were Declared !" Certainly I'm not alone here. Glad we're at war again
Fun fact the german word for bluing is brünieren so it makes the steel brown not blue like in english.
I really like the look of the M83 idk it has something about it
I am engaging the algorithm with engagement to hopefully lead to more engagement from others engaging the algorithm. All hail our algorithmic overlords.
Jean-Luc Picard says something...
A debate about barbecue sauce!?
War Were Declared!!
Just remember that the 1873 colt came out of mothballs after the .38 dissapointed in the stopping power department. 1898-1900 +/-.
The ergonomics on the 1873 colt are also so much better. The grip "slips" and brings the hammer right to where your thumb can work on the next shot.
Thanks again for all the content. I wonder when that strange pistol from Mr Browning will make it's debut... If Ever?
I read A story from a Volksgrenadier who mentioned the poor equipment they were issued, he mentioned his NCO had a Revolver that did not work right all the time and burned his hand when he shot it. I can only imagine this was an old Reichs revolver, but who can say.
Oh look a cute baby Reichsrevolver , something smaller that could be used as a Destroyer anchor and opposed to the M1879 that was a anchor for a Dreadnought 🤣
We probably are gonna need to rethink the boating accident story for this piece.
To be fair it's actually the anchor chain which holds the ship at anchorage the anchor is just meant to secure the end of the chain to the seabed.
@@blairbuskirk5460 I'm picturing a weird Germanic version of a kusarigama where instead of a sickle and an iron ball connected by a chain it's two Reichsrevolvers.
Love the content. I watch all of these videos twice at the minimum, once wide awake to watch and listen intently. The second time as a light background sound to continue learning as I fall asleep
It seems that the enciting-arguments-in-the-comments-over-barbecue scheme was a great success. I commend you Othais for the genius tactic.
I've been looking forward to this episode since you teased it in the previous one
My inner 5 year old giggled when he said you put the wooden stick in the hole (9:30). ^_^

Folks, SC mustard BBQ has its merits. Lexington style sweet BBQ is good! But at the end of the day we all know if you need a whole pig reduced to a flavorful slurry, the only place to do it is Down East NC.
I grew up knowing nothing other than mustard-based BBQ from Melvins/Bessinger's. When we moved to Eastern NC and went out to eat BBQ the first time, it was a life changing event. Vinegar pepper sauce has been all I've used since.
I don't even eat pork anymore and I still slow cook in a vinegar marinade. Works for pig, chicken, tofu, what have ya
God, I’m so happy! It’s like the cherry on top of my day!
This is by far the best 12 dollars a year I've ever spent
Normal brain: arguing about which barbecue sauce is best.

And if you don't make your own rub - step away from the smoker!
Come for the Reichsrevolver, stay for the BBQ debate.
another great episode
The best barbeque doesn't need sauce change my mind
Texan detected
BBQ sauce is just a mask for bad BBQ
Damn straight
Why would I correct you when you're clearly not wrong?
Agreed
I am re-watching and still enjoy it as i would see it the first time.
I remember seeing the M 1883 Reichsrevolver in private hands in Austria in the 1970's.
First time ,"War Were Declared " in a long time ! Great Video !
Mustard is the base for a good dry rub. Sauce is for leftovers.
that dachshund with the pickelhaube is awesome, where do you guys find this footage? its always great!
Every time
I try to go to sleep ! Another video.....these guys are good !
Thanks for this guys, I'm writing a book about veteran of the schutztruppe and this is really helpful.
I am a simple creature, I see a new C&Rsenal video, I hit play, I learn!
Thanks for the history
I thought I'd lose a bit of interest when we got into the more 'obscure' and antiquidated WW1 handguns. But goddamn they're even more interesting than the modern stuff of the time. Enlightening as always!
Engagement? Engagement. Engagement!
Seriously, no ejector rod again? It isn't like there wasn't contemporary revolver designs on the market that were much more suitable combat implements.
Plus, I really hope the new series has pics of contemporary users, because the pic of the man with the telephone and the messy desk is so cool.
"With the onset of World War 2" ~20:33 oops...
As always this is really well done, most enjoyable, and I expect I'm learning things :)
Best quote of the show "*Billy club of the handgun world*" :)
he has made that slip in a few episodes, you can tell he is looking forward to that era of guns. I cannot wait for him to explain the daylights out of WW2 sub-machine guns
@@tenofprime I thought so,, but I'm looking forward too to WWII era :)
@@ChrisGuiver yea I know my WW2 history better than WW1 and am looking forward to finding out how much I do not know yet.
Engaging optimizing engine search. Cant wait to see ya on Fit'nFire!
Keep up the great videos love the content
I like the use of the British designations for model improvements. Feels right for some reason.
Y’all the best!
20:10 - WAR WERE DECLARED!
I'm doing my part! We gotta pump these numbers up.
Nice work on making the ejector rod.!
Thank you for the barbecue advise mr beardy gun man.
Good info!
The designers probably expected the soldiers to shoot just six times in any engagement.
Btw, "Suhl" ist pronounced like "zool".
Hello. Greetings from Finland! Nice video again THANK YOU.
Return of the Beast !
Glad the safety was fixed for this one, that seemed important.
So many European revolvers in this series make the Colt SAA seem bad and then this comes along to show us how good we had it.
Good video guys
I like this video!
Othas, it the Great war, Slip of the Tough. Great Video
I love this show
Yes it is good to hear “war were declared“. I also enjoyed Othias saying that he missed seeing that. It is been so long since he said it that he said something like “with outbreak of World War II“. Oops 😬
Mae gave the Reichsrevolver a pass for taking into a fight... as a blunt object but still she did approve it!
I'll comment on the last minute woodshop. It fits!
"Nearly 3 pounds and 13 inches in length" I wish that described a part of my anatomy
A diabetic's gangrenous foot?
Goiter?
You guys, oh ( and Mae)_ have the greatest fn program ever ... love you guys (and Mae) ... oh btw I would love a minuet with Mae .. I know not very long ... I would put it down to excitement.
Thank you kind people’s
I think you might be the only channel who wouldn't get harassed about "milking" content (and if someone does that... booo hisssss!) But we all know how hard you work on this stuff, and I'm glad you have the ability to make it better.
Also, on the ergonomics, something kept the Colt SAA around for so long, even into the era when other guns had the advantage, I figure that matters.
Oh yeah, a prussian mace with a integrated revolver, peak german engineneering
Take that, Colt!
To be fair "Reichshammer" sounds metal af.
@@Kremit_the_Forg Add fake "heavy metal" umlauts over the a in hammer and I think you really have something.
Can you guys do a video on the LeMatt next? Love your channel.
I had no idea it was almost midnight until I saw this notification show up.
I'm gonna say it Othais.... I like both, just depends on the meat. Sometimes, if the cut is decent enough, I won't even use sauce.
cool video
Breakfast with the Big O and Mae!
BBQ sauce and/or absence of sauce is a regional thing. Good BBQ is good BBQ.
New Conceal Carry piece.
The “Billy Club” Video series coming soon.... .
a revolver which however has two advantages: an excellent ammunition, and a perfect manufacture.
every reichsrevolver i have seen was tight and performed amazingly despite two world wars.
it's rare and that's not the case with all Colts.
for the rest, it is really a weapon apart.
Yes but I’d wager the riechsrevolvers were rarely shot as often as colt 1873s. I can see your point but I don’t think these revolvers suffered near as much abuse and there are far fewer of them than colts
Ya'll stopped in at Collector's? Cool! Isn't that a great place? And you got to see them in their new digs. A tremendous improvement over their old venue! That place is like a museum, but everything is for sale. I live in the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area, and stop by there every chance I get. :-)
"The billyclub of the handgun world." xD That's right up there with "The Combat Banana." Love it!
You’re so engaging Othias😘
Just got one of these.
Watching Mae grimace instead of grin..?! That's a damning indictment, right there.
Good stuff arrived )
Hey, you should patent that wooden pokey! Those seem super useful!
Crazy they doubled down on this design in 1883.
The lack of lanyard ring is indicative of a commercial version/private purchase. It was omitted for those revolvers.
despite it all, this is my favorite revolver and I‘d love to own one
Seemed to have more fun on this video.
