@@-_Nuke_-if you’re a good shot six can do much to clear the deck of a ship. I’m not disagreeing with you I’m just saying six guns still stack the odds way more in your favor
Nicely loaded. The trick here is not to cover the touch-hole with priming powder. Do so, and you'll get a much longer lock-time while it burns down to that point. In this excellent example, the powder was tamped down to just below the touch-hole so that when fired, flame went straight through to the main charge with minimal delay. Well done.
The ball size appears to small or go with thicker patches. The prime was too heavy also and shoud not cover or fill in the touch hole. That is why the delay was pronounced. It takes awhile to tune your loading technique. Nice looking pistol !
I was about to type exactly what you just said. Then i decided to see if anyone els said it and i was not surprised when i read you comment. 100 percent bang on
@@DaveDexterMusic Yes, but the slight delay can be mitigated with the proper loading technique. Too much priming powder, too close to the touch hole, or the touch hole being full of powder, causes a bigger delay. Properly loaded, fire should be nearly immediate after pulling the trigger.
Everyone keeps an AR-15 incase the apocalypse happens and we're living in a Mad Max world, but it wouldn't do much good without a way to get ammo. Even reloading spent cartrages would be difficult because that would need smokeless powder which requires specific chemical compounds to make. Those chemicals might not be available in a world where industrial capabilities are crippled or non existent.
I love how new shooters always think there is a delay. That shot didn't have a delay. But I still tell people that 'delay' goes away when you actually own one.
@@abhay4147 sure, the delay going away when you own one is being a bit facetious, in other words if at first, or watching others, you perceive a delay you'll get used to it and not really notice it. However with proper lock geometry, flash-hole placement, good frizzen, sharp rock and proper loading, my guns go off every bit as fast as a percussion or even a cartridge. Rocks are simply a piece of nature, they're good 'till they're not. A failure to spark is usually a rock getting dull. On the range I will go three 'clicks' then deem it is time to sharpen. When it becomes a marble, I change it. I've gotten one shot from a single rock (it broke in two) to over 90 shots from a rock. I average 60-70. But while a failure to spark is usually a rock issue, flashes in the pan and slow ignition are almost always my fault in preparation.
Looks like an Ardessa pistol. I have a flint lock and a percussion cap as well. Both about the same size and weight. The frizzen spring on the flint has broken. Guess I'm going to have to make a new one. Enjoyed the video. Have fun with your muzzle loaders.

My dad actually has a flintlock pistol at home. I think its about the same size. We`ve been talking about getting some gunpowder and bullets for fun, but havent really looked into it.
Many people in Europe and elsewhere do not know that the end of the XVI.th century, the modernization of the Polish army took place between 1576 and 1586, and it was thanks to the Hungarians. After all, in 1576, the Transylvanian prince István Báthory was elected king of Poland and he introduced more modern warfare to Poland, which was so much needed, since the great enemy was the Swedes in the north, the Turks in the south, and the great enemy in the east, the growing Russia led by Ivan the Terrible. Seizing many Lithuanian territories from the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom in personal union. The Poles were at a loss and had to give up many areas to the Russians. But the miracle still happened. Around 15,000 people from the Transylvanian Hungarian-Székely and Saxon armies rushed to help the Poles under the leadership of István Báthory. The Hungarian-Szekely Hajduks of Transylvania modernized and trained the Polish-Lithuanian army. The use of pistols was introduced in the cavalry and the hussars were separated from the cavalry - heavy cavalry. The mass spread of the cavalry saber can also be attributed to this period, and the spread of the use of the mass spear is also the foundation of the later famous Polish ulana force. From the close-up units of the nobility who also carried spears, sabers and pistols, the famous winged cavalry units were created. In addition, the Hungarians also introduced the use of technical troops to the Polish army, who, for example, built bridges in marshy areas and were thus able to attack surprisingly from where the Russians did not expect it, since this had never happened before and the marsh-marsh area is a kind of it was a "safe moat" as in the case of fortifications. From where it was very difficult or even impossible to attack, well, that has also changed. The Hungarians also introduced cannons with longer and larger barrels, which could be used to shoot farther, and also at this time the use of howitzers and their mortars spread, with which the counterattacking allied forces freed many Lithuanian settlements from Russian rule in the territory of present-day Lithuania, Latvia and southern Estonia. . The Russians were pushed out of tens of thousands of square kilometers in the Baltic region. The Russians piled up defeat after defeat, which severely damaged the morale of the soldiers, which was only compounded by the loss of tens of thousands of lives. Also, the Hungarians introduced the use of latrines, which reduced infections and the pollution of drinking water, while thousands of Russian soldiers died from dysentery, cholera and other infectious diseases and caused much smaller losses to the allied army. The importance of hygiene in the war greatly improved the morale of the soldiers, which was further improved by the numerous victories. In the end, Ivan the Terrible was forced to make peace and renounce the territories liberated by the allies. Thanks to the modernization and development of the Polish-Lithuanian army, the "backbone" of the army was created, which in later decades successfully fought again against the Russians, then the Swedes and the Turkish-Tatar armies.
Bull Hippo is also correct, delay can be caused by too much primer in the pan. Best thing to do when you’ve never fired a certain weapon… read and learn, find a mentor to show you how to use it
Thanks for this, especially the slow mo at the end. I've used flint a lot in survival, I'm shocked that traditionally flaked fint is used, I guess I would have expected something more mechanically shaped, but I guess the novelty of the hand held projectile must have outweighed the focus on immediate evolution of a more predictable/stable firing mechanism.
I owned the caplock version, right up until I handed it to a friend to take out of cali, and sell for me He hasn't been heard from or seen since then. Thank You Dieken Porst.
Надеюсь, переведут на английский и прочтут. "Вот пистолеты уж блеснули. Гремит о шомпол молоток. В граненый ствол уходят пули, И щелкнул в первый раз курок. Вот порох струйкой сероватой На полку сыплется. Зубчатый, Надёжно ввинченный кремень Взведен еще. " Теперь сходитесь... " (А. С. Пушкин)
Is it correct that the hammer has to cocking positions ? The half cocked one with disabled trigger for loading the pan with fine powder or for percussion type to load the primer and the full cocked one for shooting ? By the way THIS is shooting stripped to the roots, love it.
You are correct. Priming the pan with the hammer at full cock is not prudent, and should NOT have been shown here! If people don’t know such a basic safety/operation principle… they shouldn’t be posting videos like this. No need to load with a metallic rod and a hammer, either. SMH!
İ am still confused 🤔 about the situation of these guns in windy situations. İmagine being a frontline soldier with a flintlock gun and reloading it in a strong wind how would you add powder
I never thought about it, but old flintlocks must’ve been incredibly weighty. Steel and hard lumber over a foot long being aimed with one hand… now wonder they were so difficult to aim!
I have a question, if you load this gun and put it in holster, will it still work ? Because I think powder can just disapear from all walking and running on battlefield
So, the primer powder sits on a plate, held in place by the lock, which also has a bend that forms the striker plate for the flint to spark? I'm probably saying these terms wrong, but does it work that way?
Good lord, that was a lot of powder in the pan. You can use a lot less and you'd probably get a faster ignition. Either way, rock locks are some of the most fun!
@@kaptein1247 yeah absolutely and the relative ease in which to train levies. Happened to come by here because these flintlock pistols are awesome. Must be a hoot to shoot. From what I gather these old guns had devastating damage as well
@@Joker-yw9hl Yeah these guns have something magical about them. I bought a small belgian pocket pistol a few weeks ago and am planning on making my own gunpowder and casting my own bullets. The pistol that I have shoots a lead ball of about 12mm at 105m ish per second, if I remember correctly. I have air rifles that fire pellets at the same speed, but this lead ball can go straight trough an inch of pine. And thats just a pistol with a small powder charge and tiny barrel. What kind of bow do you have? I used to do some archery myself. My last bow was a horseback bow (never fired it from a horse) I was alone most of the time on the range so I tried a lot of different ways of shooting. Multiple arrows at once (5 was my record I think, they didnt get far though since its only a 35 pound bow). Also tried firing off arrows as fast at possible while still hitting a torso sized target at 20m. Never got that fast but 6 arrows within 20 seconds was doable
That delay can be from the priming powder resting against the flash hole. wish causes a wick effect. want to keep powder away from the flash hole it will be almost instantaneous.
Might be bigger, but I think for most situations a pistol of that type would be used in a bow would work alot better, but then again a saber would too, I guess thats why they were so popular…
I mean your not wrong bows were better than early guns (15th-16th century) it's just the reason guns became so popular was how easy it was to train someone In a nutshell bows takes years to learn a gun takes less than a week
This is a very nice gun, one of which i hope to get in the near future. But first i need to know, what wads are you using while putting the ball into the barrel? Thank you and have a nice day.
reloading the gun seems tedious back in the day , its amazing how guns evolve i won't be surprised if they start manufacturing semi auto nukes in the future
Challange for you. Have 3 on your left hip, 2 slung across your left upper torso 2 slung across your right upper torso 1 slung onto your right shoulder behind your back. 7 pistols. Draw fire and then holster all 7 pistols and then draw your cutlass charge and strike with it... Faster than your opponent does.
There is indeed a tool call a "ball puller" which is a coarse screw you can run into the ball and then yank it out. Only do this when you're damn sure the charge is not going off. Otherwise, the best way to do it is to pick out the touch hole and some of the main charge inside, then trickle some fresh powder in through the touch hole, re-prime, then shoot. The idea is that with a bit of fresh powder, you may yet be able to ignite the main charge. I'll always try this a couple times before using the ball puller but it doesn't happen very often if ever once you know what you're doing.
What you describe is called "dry balling" (really, look up "dry ball muzzleloader"). If you have just the ball and no powder behind it, you could use a tool that goes down and screws into the lead ball to pull it out. In practice, what many do is trickle as mich powder as they can through the flashhole (a tedious process), prime the pan, then fire. It will shoot the ball out, though not fast or far. I've known several people who have done this.
I have an original flintlock barrel , I want to make a pistol. Not sure how old it is, the proof marks indicate king George the second, the tower armory.

reloading the gun seems tedious back in the day , its amazing how guns evolve i won't be surprised if they start manufacturing semi auto nukes in the future
We could do that know if there was a point to it
Imagine James bond of the 1700s with one of these
You meant John Wick?
Challange for you. Have 3 on your left hip, 2 slung across your left upper torso 2 slung across your right upper torso 1 slung onto your right shoulder behind your back.
7 pistols.
Draw fire and then holster all 7 pistols and then draw your cutlass charge and strike with it...
Faster than your opponent does.
Better then a pointy stick which was one of the only other options back then lol

Although in most combat occasions
The flintlock Pistol as a Melee weapon
Is a way more effective weapon
Oh my he flinched it down. That was a low hit
Wonder how this technology survived the first stages. using this guns in a real combat must have been a nightmare!
Nice! Which model is this pistol? Is it Pedersoli?
Too much powder in the flash pan and don’t cover up the touch hole, this is where the delay comes from.
How do you take the metal ball out if you forget to put gunpowder first or if it malfunctions?
I believe there was a tool for that, something like a small drill or corkscrew almost to basically dig the ball out. Could be wrong though
There is indeed a tool call a "ball puller" which is a coarse screw you can run into the ball and then yank it out. Only do this when you're damn sure the charge is not going off.
Otherwise, the best way to do it is to pick out the touch hole and some of the main charge inside, then trickle some fresh powder in through the touch hole, re-prime, then shoot. The idea is that with a bit of fresh powder, you may yet be able to ignite the main charge. I'll always try this a couple times before using the ball puller but it doesn't happen very often if ever once you know what you're doing.
@@billmelater6470 interesting
What you describe is called "dry balling" (really, look up "dry ball muzzleloader"). If you have just the ball and no powder behind it, you could use a tool that goes down and screws into the lead ball to pull it out. In practice, what many do is trickle as mich powder as they can through the flashhole (a tedious process), prime the pan, then fire. It will shoot the ball out, though not fast or far. I've known several people who have done this.
What was the ball diameter? They seemed to go down the barrel with no effort.
Nice but you should use it only with one hand.
Ya I def agree. First time shooting so I wasn't sure of the kickback. It handled so well beyond my expectations. And very accurate
@@TomsThriftyLife it’s blackpowder, most black powder guns have barely any recoil
I made fling lock basic only make woood
Welcome from the algorithm
Haha 👍 yep
That ball is too loose!
i was expecting him to be pushed backwards after shooting it
i think im playing too much videogames
i really want one of these
ear protection correctly used 👍
Well they are great grandparents to the modern day guns.
Just as the Founding Fathers intended.

Don't pound the ball with the rod. The soft lead ball will be distorted. Just seat it. That's all you need. Keep your sword handy😅
I have an original flintlock barrel , I want to make a pistol. Not sure how old it is, the proof marks indicate king George the second, the tower armory.
I fired a double barrel and both went off at once. I changed my jeans that day!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Very good is the best gun
Can you measure me the exact length of the caftan?
Imagine having duals with that wow those guys had to be brave
both miss, nothing happen, they have to reload
I want a flintlock trapper pistol just like that
