If you are wondering what program I use for the creation of this video, please check the description. It should be included on every video in this series, if not let me know.
This video was very informative! Yes i want more of that stuff, like "which were the most common firearms and arms around 17th century" pleaaaseee! I subscribe now, please don't forget me.. greetings from greece!
MouseGunner my friend, can you do me a big favor? Please do a video on the 1865 44 caliber caplock Derringer pistol that Booth used to kill president Lincoln. Just go over everything. The parts, (cock jaw screw, Cock spur, Cock jaws, Sear spring, Sear,
Tumbler, Mainspring, Flint, frizzon, priming pan, etc. And tell us all what each part does when the trigger is pulled and tell us all what essential role that part plays in making this firearm work and why without it the firearm will not fire.
Note: I used the word 🔥arm instead of gun. A gun is a crew served weapon that requires a crew of 2, 3 or more men to operate. A firearm is a weapon that shoots gunpowder that can be operated by a single individual.
Apparently, match locks could have a 'fence' and a way of closing off the priming pan when not in use. czcams.com/video/WJyX-v_nYgo/video.html

The fence prevented the shooter from being blinded when the primer ignited, which was probably somewhat useful with aiming. But I guess flintlocks were reliable and enough gunsmiths figured out how to make them properly, that flintlocks completely replaced them.
They used a flintlock pistol in the movie Warcraft and you really see that delay between pulling the trigger and the bullet being fired. Really cool moment
Properly primed, you really won't have much of a noticeable delay at all.
Delay is really noticeable in wheellock weapons.
And make sure that you don't use the palm of your hand do do this as the powder could ignite, resulting in a hole in your hand. I have seen this happen.
@@jeffreynelson2660 you've seen people use flintlock pistols, and seen accidents happen with said pistols? WOT
Just a tip: when you put the ball and patch inside the barrel, take the rod and compress it so much that when you just take the rod and toss it in the barrel it bounces straight up as if it hit the end of the empty barrel, that's a good way to know if you packed the powder tightly
Imma buy a flintlock and save this
Imma screenshot this just incase I get a time machine
Good way to light the charge.
@@gurshansingh4055 Don't slam it with all your might, just a tiny toss will do to judge how compact it is. Black powder is volatile but it isn't nitroglycerin
@@justjoe5373 ok
a glock just cant compare to the majesty and sheer comedic gold of using a flintlock pistol
This a very informative video. I am a big fan of these firearms. Flintlock weapons were still being used as late as the American Civil War.
It was mostly caplock guns in the civil war
Thank you for the in-depth and informative video! I've been wanting to know more about flintlock pistols and you've given me quite a good start, thank you!
That was perfectly demonstrated and explained. Thank you like so very very much!!! So helpful!!!

Really great explanation of a beautiful gun!
We Malay call this gun is Terakol (تراكول)
Very well explained, very educational. Thanks.
The bullet should be lead ball.
Green tangle he states that the program he used isn’t the most accurate and has some issues such as the ammunition type. He states it near the beginning of the video
Thats a minié ball
In the civil war they started using bullets without a shell
Walker Hazen only few stronger muskets used bullets. Simple and cheap ones used balls.
if the bullet has a lower diameter than the barrel, how does it best stay in place when you have the barrel pointed down?
edit: never mind. I figured out the diameter has to decrease right before the powder charge, so the bullet gets stuck in an angle, if that is good English?
Question: what is stopping the lead ball from rolling out if you point the muzzle downwards?
Don’t shoot your feet?
It compresses I think
It depends.
Alot of times a cloth patch will be used to seated under the ball to seal compress the ball tightly in the barrel. Or a peice of cloth can be pressed into the barrel after the loading process. Or ,if your in a constant gunfight you just load and shoot as fast as you can
Awesome!!!!!!! I like your gun videos man it's sooo detailed man keep it up
Okay. I agree. In theory it is. But there were also such cases when the gunpowder in the firing pin ignites but the powder mixture behind the bullet burns in the combustion chamber and the muzzle energy, the pressure of gunpowder gases exits through the small hole that makes a connection with the combustion chamber behind the bullet and the firing pin. And the bullet, the iron ball, remains inside the muzzle without being fired. Can you explain what this is due to.
Thanks for the video. Great work

How did you know I was looking got this? What the heck.
Interesting video. One comment: accuracy is not related to barrel length. Once the bullet leaves the barrel it has no mechanism that affects it flight related to the length of the barrel it just left. The laws of physics say the an object in motion will continue in motion, moving in a straight line at a constant speed until acted upon by an outside force (gravity, cross wind, air resistance etc). Barrel length will affect bullet velocity, reducing the drop to the target, drift due to cross wind, and a long barrel will have a better sight picture and steadier hold, thus it will appear to have an effect on accuracy, but when these variables are removed, i.e. gun in a vise, windless day etc, accuracy is the same, regardless of barrel length. The term "hammer" was not used until percussion caps were used, prior to that it was called a "cock" due to its resemblance to a pecking chicken.
Both hammer and cock are very male by nature. the barrel is by design also male, looking like a dick, ready to explode and shoot its load.
The rose on the other hand has been a symbol of the vagina, certainly a pink one, which could look similar to a pussy.
By putting a rose (or some other flower, if you don't happen to have a rose at the right moment) inside a barrel, it's clearly a sign that says "love, not war.
We the people want to live and love, not to be sacrificed to kill and die in wars.
Power to the people.

@@fredosinsemilla3896 lmao wtf
Ballistics-wise, barrel length *does* tend to increase technical accuracy. There is one important mechanism behind that: inertia. :) The more velocity the projectile acquires, the less it will be prone to considerable changing its trajectory under various side influences - that's pure physics and a bit of geometry. Of course, it will be worth very little if the otherwise unstabilized projective is non-spherical and thus any transverse rotation may result in really huge aerodynamic forces pushing the bullet in unpredictable directions.
@@Alexey_Selivanov We agree about barrel length and muzzle energy/velocity. But a short barrel will equal the accuracy of a long barrel given the same muzzle energy and velocity, and same projectile. Barrel length has no direct effect on accuracy.
the tumbler... *THE TUMBLR*

very interesting, thank you for making this :)

thanks for this information coz i'm currently doing some 2d animation for flintlocks. :]

Brilliant. Thank you. New subber

Lol I needed to see how a flintlock pistol's bullet looks for the game im working on, im probably going to sub now.
I swear everytime i think I made something original it's been done before. I was trying to think how a musket works and I was like "oh what if it used Flint and steel" I swear I didn't see this before I had that thought
what application are you using, please if you can tell me, thank you.
Fuck yeah
I really love old guns
بندقية رائعة شكرا على الشرح الدقيق
Flint locks are like really big bullets
Big bullets without casings
What? I don’t get what you’re trying to say
Modern bullets have their powder, primer and projectile all stored inside one brass casing. Flintlock firearms, such as the one shown in this video, do not use brass casings.
ChonkBoi I know but this guy said that flintlocks are like big bullets?? Did he watch the video? The fire lock is not a bullet in any way
@@emorynguyen1583 Oh. Yeah I think he just meant the round it fires, not the flint in the lock itself.
The trigger...THE TRIGGR
what animation program are you using?
Question, an it might sound dumb, but it just occurred to me. What keeps the bullet, which is a round ball free floating in the barrel, in its fixed position? Like if you pointed the flintlock straight down, would the round fall out? Or is it just stuck in place until fired.
The projectile is usually wrapped in a wad of sort to keep in in place.
Typically your projectile is wrapped in cloth or whatever patch material the shooter uses. This is more to grab the rifling and provide twist and keep the ball from going wild after it’s fired. Even with a loose ball though, there’s usually enough tightness to keep the ball down. Black powder shotguns use a cardboard or felt wad over the top of the shot to keep the loose shot from rolling out though.
What apps did you use
Great video. I just got one that I haven't identified. The only marks I can find are 3 K's with 3 crowns over them in 3 circles. Then a circle (not complete) with a smaller circle in that one (not complete) and a smaller circle in that one (not complete). Appears to be 4. Then a number 0833 and the 8 and 3'a are on angles to the left.

Is it possible to have a breach loading flintlock? It’s a really interesting design but i’ve only ever seen them fired with percussion caps
Yes and they are very weird
you win new sub
SO how ablout brown bess? or Dreyse needle gun? or martini henry III?
What is name program?
finally i know now how the primer charge interacts with the gunpowder in the barrel😂
I just thought how cool it would be to change that flint mechanism with like a electro lighter mechanism in those electro lighters to activate the powder 🤔
That would be super expensive
There are some companies that are using a form of that technology for modern inline muzzleloaders.
Will I have trouble for searching on this?
I dont think so, as long as you dont build one capable of shooting.

How much did it take to build a Flintlock rifle?
Its not as complex as the needle gun springloaded or bolt action so its easy to make unlike the bolt action wich is quite complex because of the additional bolt and the pin wich the primer is in the shell casing so Flintlock is easy to make Or something like that
*in the next video: “how this flintlock pistol fires a bullet instead of a ball”*
I beleive that with the Minié ball there was always rifling because that was how it worked there were small divits in the actual Minié ball that would expand upon the secondary explosion to cut the rifling into the lead projectile so therefore this model is inaccurate nothing on you man
We're studying guns for homeschool through the Little House on the Prairie books, Pa uses a flint lock rifle but they have "caps" for the flint/hammer to hit on the opposite striker.
That's a cap-lock. A percussion cap is placed on the nipple and then struck with the hammer. The main advantage here is that a cap-lock will give a much more reliable ignition than with a flint and pan. Not to mention some greater mechanical simplicity too in the lock since now you have fewer moving parts without the frizzen.
Space in this.
what happens if the firearm has been in use for a very long time and the flint is completely worn down?
At this point you must replace the flint.
the vice mechanism on the hammer can be unscrewed to release the old flint so a new one can be put in its place
Just replace it not that hard
I don’t get it, why would they design a pan when all the had to do was put the striker above the primer charge itself?
The pan is there to hold the Primer Charge. If you meant the main charge then if the striker were to directly ignite the main charge then that would mean the main charge would have to be exposed, in which case the explosive force of the main charge igniting would escape upwards towards the striker instead of being focused outwards through the barrel. With the striker igniting the primer charge in the pan which then ignites the main charge through the touch hole, the explosive force is then focused through the barrel.
@@Zapodash And I would think get wet more easily and cause misfires. Also I have seen videos where people used a finer powder grain in the pan and the grain size in the barrel.

"runneth thy pocke-"
Seeing as this is common sense, but if that firearm were to be wet, say from either rain or snow, it wouldn't fire 100% of the time. So it's safe to say that the pistol would be concealed to preserve the integrity of its firing upon action. Also since holsters were not as advanced back then, it's also noted that such a pistol would be cloaked under clothing. Further the load time is egregious and would also require it to be loaded at all times to be effective in a life threatening scenario. So that is also a Pistol loaded and concealed on a person for self defense predating the 2nd Amendment.
So why is it that people still don't believe and argue that carrying a pistol which is loaded and concealed wasn't commonplace before, during, and after the 2nd Amendment was written and ratified?
Shh! Facts confuse small minded people.
No one is arguing that this type of gun wasn't or is common place. In fact, it's the exact opposite; that this obsolete weapon isn't used at all anymore, but instead replaced with reliably, consistently, efficiently lethal weapons that are so widely available that teenagers are using them to commit mass murder. Nice try, though.
Banning them wouldn't do anything to help tho
Mostly because it says in the Constitution that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed.
because pistols werent commonly carried during the 18th century. The average colonial citizen IF they owned a firearm would have had long barreled weapons like muskets, fowlers, and some might have an actual rifle.
The best aspect of this design is less people died

now i'm ready to be reincarnated
I'm sorry why is there a cartridge in a flintlock based pistol
The. Flint. Which. Is. Gripped. By. Leather. Sparks. The. Gunpowder.
If you carry it around wouldn't the ball fall out?
No, friction would keep it inside
There's a cloth patch that snugly keeps the ball adhered to the barrel.
Press r1 to shoot, x to reload
It's r2 bottom trigger not r1 isn't it

All the barrels in this game are smoothbore. Either way, still makes sense
When we are talking about pre-industrial firearms, length of barrel wasn't actually the thing that determined its accuracy, the manufacturing quality and windage was. Smoothbore pistols were usually (hand) made with greater precision than muskets (mind you, officers and cavalrymen not infantry soldiers were to use them), and modern tests demonstrate that they were in fact more accurate than muskets despite shorter barrel
So damn complicated
Im still too dumb to craft one
