Mariette double action pepperbox revolver #capandball #blackpowder #muzzleloading #percussion

I /think/ that this was the model used by Mary Abacus in "The Potato Factory"

I've seen pepperboxes -- they were very popular for a couple decades after percussion caps arrived but before Colt etc. true revolvers were common -- and I've seen screw barrel pistols, but I've never seen a screw barrel pepperbox.

Slower to load than an Ethan Allen type, and like all screw barrel guns, rather underpowered (the oversize ball swaging down meant the powder charge was limited), but it could be carried loaded without fear of the balls moving away from the powder (as could happen with an Ethan Allen if the ball wasn't tight in the bore) and you didn't need a powder measure, patches, or a ramrod.

Neat design but scary to reload under stress.

I want one 😍

Extremely cool👍

Screwbarrel pistol. Uses oversized ball which makes it function the same as a percussion revolver.

It's always faster to goto your backup then to reload. Especially with this little lady. ...sheeesh.

Either the sights are on the piss or, more likely, the captain needs to hone his technique 😂

What caliber is that?

Four misses

SUNRISE, PARABELLUM

Is there any kinda of saftey or half cocked position?

👍👍💪

In its day this thing would have been a fistful of firepower but not exactly a speed-loader 😂

ダブルアクションリボルバーの原型なんよな

К сожалению не показанна , дистанция до цели и количество попаданий..

I’ve got to say that you get to fire a lot of interesting guns, so good for you

By the time you have loaded it the guy has already stabbed you 😅😅

ПЕРЕЧНИЦА 🌶😅

Is very impressive

Seems very dangerous loading. You have the wrench plugging the barrel when you twist the threads that have friction? Is it safer to muzzle load?

Atirou as 04 balas já era kkk corre 😅

Hahah thats cool.

Pretty funny stuff...😊 Especially the reloading procedure...

Do you have to unscrew the barrel to reload or is there a way to use a ram rod

Such a cool little gun way ahead of its time like a mini Gatling

Is it Brad Pitt?

Ye olde shortstop

What's funny to me is that when this was a new technology, somebody had to think "Oh finally, I don't have to reload between duels" and somebody else thought "Four is not nearly enough." XD

Pepper boxes are so cool. Wished they made em still.

Okay think of if this weapon was in Left 4 Dead
RELOADING!!!
THE TANK IS MASSACRING EVERYONE!!!!
IM STILL RELOADING!!!

Бретерский

looks hazardoous to load with powder on threads and screwing it down, with hands clasped over barrel. If it went off like that bye bye hand.

For its time, that was very innovative.

The original owner of that was the booshie glock guy of his time

Can you not muzzle load it?

Very cool gun!

The significant difference in shot velocities you recorded were probably due to unequal powder charging
Fill chamber with powder.
Wipe level.
Seat ball firmly with finger or thumb pressure to compact powder.
Carefully refit barrels.

IKEA gun

Absolute Black Powder Chad

Well I can see why this design never made its way into army service!

Reload speed: yes

That smile said it all 😁

Nice old gun🎉

That thing is sweet. The smile on your face says it all.

Why not load like any muzzle loader?

Always love a good pepperbox

this one of the coolest pepperbox i have ever seen. please make whole video

Seria bom se pudesse adaptar um tambor para disparo com balas para 9".

Интересный способ заряжания. Но Вы метко стреляете!
