    Von Manlicher was a damn genius. At 29:16 If you play at 0.25 speed the already slowed down video, you'll see that the unique delayed blowback mechanism actually works and engages with the bullet leaving the barrel.
    Such an unique and elegant gun, wish some company reworks it with modern technologies and knowledge for modern amunition but retain the iconic timeless look.

      The fact we can really only see the lock working if we slow down the already slowed footage (which is normally enough to see the locks working in other guns on its own) does indicate that while it works, it's not very good. It might technically be a locked breach, but it's so weak it practically behaves like a delayed blowback

    1973, after a short time being a civilian, and police officer, I returned to the US Army, and was stationed back at my favorite post, Fort Bliss Texas. This time, though, I was stationed with the 11th ADA instead of my old unit, the 3rd Armored Cav. So it was, having taken one strip bust because of the separation, I was again a Sp 4th Class, and assigned to guard duty. We, the guards had to attend familiarization firing with the M1911A1. Now at the time, I owned a M1911A1 (Still do for that matter) and was quite accomplished with the firearm and had qualified with it on the police range. When it came my time to pop off a magazine full at the man size target, I assumed a good 2 hand hold, and was halted by the range NCO who instructed me that "In the Army, we don't use that damn 2 handed shit, stand so as to make yourself the narrowest target, and fire with your strong hand. Well the target was at 7 yards, and was a full size man target, so even with the old worn out .45, I kept all my rounds in the center ring, and out shot all the other fellows, most of whom had never seen a M1911 before. So it was, back in 1973 the Army (or at least that range NCO) taught the single handed firing of the M1911A1. Oh, one more thing, thanks a million for the education, every time I watch your shows I learn something new and I am a firm believer that if you learn at least one new thing every day, it helps to keep your mind active, and your body young. Young at 66, I am a nomad!

    I think Ol' Dirty Ferdy has become my new favorite gunsmith. The guy was a genius with his own flair and style. As a novice gunsmith myself, I really like learning about the men behind the guns and how they came up with what they did.
    No matter how awful my week starts out, every other Tuesday I can take great comfort in the fact that C&Rsenal will be coming out with a new episode. You guys make my week, so thank you so much.
    I got your poster and Christmas card and I'm giddy like a school boy. This poster blows my expectations out of the water! It's huge and super clean and the best poster ever so again thank you so much. Your card made me laugh but also made me curious what you got in that present. (Perhaps a rifle of some type?) Also, I want one of those mugs. I want anything with your logo haha.
    You mentioned joining up with a master gunsmith to fix up broken guns people send in. I am training to be a gunsmith myself and I would absolutely love to do this kind of stuff with people like you. Maybe some day I could design a Mannlicher style target pistol like you described and send you one to shoot.
    Until then, thank you for the quality posters and thoughtful cards, thank you for continuing to do the research and work necessary to provide us with this information, thanks for taking the time to read these comments and respond, and thanks for everything else you do.
    Merry Christmas,

    I can kinda understand why many people thinks Mannlicher was genius, but to me he seems to had taken the shotgun approach to designs of this pistol and by which I mean he tried many several things hoping to hit on the right solution. Whenever someone does this, it's a sign that he has no clear idea of which path to take so he takes all of them. I look at John Browning and the evolution of his designs and I see a clear thoughtful logical progression. One designer seemingly all over the place dissipating himself, and one designer eerily unwavering and focused.

    It looks as if the pistol was clearly designed to be fired "fencing style". At closer ranges it should "point & shoot" so the sights are not so important. The secondary controls (which would include the safety and the unloading switch) are on the 'wrong side' so they cannot be used by accident. An excellent design but with a few weaknesses.

  • @ludditeneaderthal
    @ludditeneaderthal 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    ok, on to the "ergonomics" (or lack there of, lol). it's design is not meant to be "ergonomic" (like the remington pederson pistols of a decade later), but rather one that maximizes "dynamic kinematics" of ranges of human motion in the limbs related to use. Mae comments on ultimately LOUSY sights, yet turns in a fairly impressive 10 yd point shooting grouping. the sights are for the board, not the soldier. the use is not in any way envisioned as "stable weapons platform", but rather "repeatable dynamic motion" based. if i thrust with my pistol hand, the bullet pierces exactly where my saber would, only at extended range. it's a cavalry weapon of realistic "increased stand off", optimised for "the fray" as seen by such breeching forces. probably incredibly suited to trench use also, for exactly the same reasons.
    but, we then come into the real world reasons it was always an "also ran", it is marginally functional in combat conditions of care, feeding, and maintenance. though probably 100% awesome in parade-like demonstrations with hand picked ammo, any "less than ideal influences" add quite a bit of "jam-o-matic" to the cycle (probably because of the myriad of detents built into the action). for 2 guys duelling in some meadow, awesome. for 2 guys in a bruce willis movie sewer scene, not so much. however, it also makes the half-cock equipped pocket pistol (assuming similar kinematics) an "unsung potential hero of epic proportions" in historical context. trench pistol? nah, i agree with the board, Mae, and "the big O". for the austrian merchant on his way to make a cash deposit? bee's knees, i betcha

I was obscured by the bottom right one. That is i think a Roth-Krnka Model 1899. The contracted Steyr-Roth M1907 had actually the Krnka M1904 as its most influential predecessor. I meant these two in the previous comment. They are practically indistinguishable for me. You could do a short video on the differences of these two if the resources are available.

    The best way to learn to pronounce German is saying the words out loud while someone is hitting you with a hammer on your toes while wearing a lederhosen and large woollen socks. That will improve your pronunciation in such a way that you will sound like a German. Afterwards to mellow the pain in your toes, you will need to drink 3 liters of freshly brewed Weissenbier and repeat this. You will be amazed of the result.

    It really is like an auto-loading pistol built with the mindset of a revolver.
    It's like Mannlicher thought "How do I take a revolver and make it load automatically and feed from a magazine?"

      C&Rsenal I regret to inform you that it is not in good shape at all. the frame is cracked and the firing pin is broken. it's more or less a wall hanger for me. i'm still looking around for a functional one myself.

    I would have liked the trigger action drawings (e.g. 6:41 & 6:57) to be animated and discussed further, highlighting the differences. The mechanical stuff is what interests me the most. Great video, though! I love the history as well and I like seeing the original patent drawings.

    My favorite Mannlicher firearm. In 1966 Martin Retting in California was selling 1905 Argentines for $27.50. I'll have to settle for a Luger.

  • @SavageShooter93

    It would be cool to test how much that delay lever is actually doing, a real simple method would be to lock the gun in a ransom rest and use a fishing scale to pull back on the slide until it opens, then have the hammer held back lowering that block and repeat. Just visually it looked like that lever actually offered a decent amount of resistance.
    Personally I think its doing more than you give it credit for, it may even be enough to prevent the gun from beating itself to death over a standard service life or its enough for that gun to get away with such light springs and low slide mass. The cartridge is certainly weak enough for pure blow back but in slow motion the slide velocity seems pretty high I think it would be far worse without that little delay lever.

    Sights in WWII were all pretty bad. I think sidearms were intended to be point and shoot. The trigger could probably be improved a great deal with some very fine stoning. My own issue is the stripper-clip. Conversion to a replaceable box magazine would have made this a winner in my opinion.

    Are you guys ever going to do the Dutch Beaumont rifle? I know by 1914, it was pretty much an obsolete gun used by a neutral nation, but the Dutch still pressed some into service. In addition, there is hardly any info out on those guns and I am actually pretty curious regarding the former Dutch service rifle.

    Could it be that this gun's ergonomics was designed for left handed shooting? If operated with the left hand, the safety would be less awkward to use and operate the button to spill bullets everywhere.

    Damaged pieces you say? You have a list of stuff you are looking for? I have so many parts in inventory I really do not know what I have, ha, but I am sorting though it, and sometimes there is most of a gun in there.
    You mentioned Ian at Forgotten Weapons. Between Ian you you guys, I really have some great firearm resources. A bit of reading on the side and I feel like I am getting a collage course, ha.

    Didn't use to think this was a nice looking pistol based off the photos, but all in all it doesn't look too bad at all.
