Gotta give Brandon props, he got sick just to make the larp more realistic. Can’t think of any other ATF Director that was ever that dedicated to anything.
Interesting how both Madsen and Maxim are both still around in active warzones and out of the whole "original trio" it is only Colt "potato masher", which is absent. Shows how much ahead the latter two were.
@Gibson343088 Jokes about it being a glorified lever action aside, I'm refering to the fact that Colt-Browning M1895 was a part of "original trio" of first machineguns. Madsen was LMG, Maxim was HMG and Colt was MMG. But while Madsen and Maxim were improved and modernized(the patterns serving to this day are actually pre-WWII versions), Colt was thrown to the wayside. I get that M1919 is far better and deserves the praise, I just feel like M1895 deserves to be remembered too.
Way too much fun! I believe the Winchester Model 1897 pump was called the 'Trench Broom' as it was very useful in clearing trenches. Didn't hurt that it had a 17-inch bayonet attached (unless you were on the receiving end...). Cheers!
@@ColeBlueford Indeed! I am transcribing the memoir, c. 1810, of a British naval officer who faced French 'Bayonetts' on the Catalonia coast. He fell backward off the quarter deck, had the Grenadier jump down onto his chest, but 'met him' with his Mameluke sword, piercing him 'through from his groin to his shoulder'...Pretty hairy stuff!
I shot expert on the range every year...sharpshooter is the lowest qualifying score possible... being a marine sharpshooter means you barely passed you rifle qual.... I wouldt say that's a great thing at all...
Fun fact! Johnny Cash was almost killed by an Ostrich once. The only thing that saved him from being gutted was his big ass belt buckle. Those birds are crazy man. They kill lions.
Small correction, the Krag-Jørgensen rifle was called the 'Bolt Action Rifle' in-game. The Springfield rifle was modelered after the Springfield Model 1888 "Trapdoor" (As seen later in the video)
10:50 The krag in the game is actually called the bolt action rifle. The Springfield rifle in game is actually the single shot trap door Springfield rifle. Although to be fair it's easy to forget the trapdoor is in the game as the rolling block is more memorable than it in rdr2.
My second play though I stayed as long as 100 percent progress would allow at the camp near valentine and did the challenges to get the legend of the east satchel. The Trapdoor counts as a sniper rifle which makes it useful for certain hunting challenges. Handy if you haven’t got a rolling block yet.
One of my personal favorite rifles to use in medium to long range engagements in the game is the Springfield rifle. Yeah it’s only a single shot but usually it’s one shot one kill and it’s even deadlier with a scope
It's great that you made this, as I just started playing RDR2 a couple months back. I bought it years ago, started it for like maybe a day, and then "got busy" with life and hadn't came back to it.... until a couple months ago when I swore I was going to "live the story" because it was so captivating! lol I finished it a a couple weeks back, and now I am just free playing about to "play again" and get a ton of achievements! Also, the Army of Darness reference, love it! Bruce Campbell is me hero. lmao
Quick Lever Action tip, for my fellow enthusiasts. When you're loading that first cartridge, stop about halfway through. You can then use the follow up cartridge to push the first one in. You then stop halfway on the second, and repeat until full. If you get good enough, you can load these things very, very fast.
Fun fact about the Broomhandle Mauser: in Clint Eastwood's 1972 film, "Joe Kidd", one of the henchmen working for the main bad guy carried one of these, and Clint got to use it later when he killed the guy and captured it for himself. During the last main shootout in this film the camera angle looking at the Sinola courthouse carefully shows "1896" at the top of the building. This was a way of justifying why a Broomhandle was used in a Western film, since that is the year this pistol was introduced.
The badguy was "Lamarr", played by Don Stroud. There were quite a few non-traditional western firearms used by main bad guy millionaire Frank Harlan (Robert Duval) who seemed to embrace new weapons technology as an edge and means for dealing with his human based inconveniences, and either equipped his henchmen with them, or maybe hired men who were proficient with them. Sort of a transitional period western. Cool movie! 😁🇨🇦👍🏼
I have a No.3 in .44 Russian. My great uncle brought it back from Iwo Jima of all places after he met a Japanese officer that... had no further use for it. I'll never fire it just for its own safety but it's a gorgeous piece.
My grandfather got a revolver with an unpronouncable name in some obscure French caliber that only Ian McCollum knows anything about from a Viet Cong officer who... had no further use of it.. after putting 2 rounds of said caliber into my grandfather who didn't even realize it until 15 minutes later because of all the adrenaline in his system
@@wishuhadmynameThe Viet officer probably acquired it from a French officer who... had no further use for it. That sidearm has a hell of a story to tell
@@MrTak44 The .44 Russian caliber is the odd thing. Our best guess was a battlefield pickup during the Russo Japanese war that stayed in the guy's family.
First, this is now one of the best videos you have ever done in detail! I'm a huge geek of late 1800s and early 1900s firearms, and both the game plus your take on the reality is on point. Second... I may go play this now, since bo6 has been so much of a hot mess I didn't even play the campaign. Third... Well... 45-70 lever action... Something about that cartridge has been calling me as a next to acquire. That is some MAD power from such an old and simple to reload round.
The problem with the Trapdoor Springfield was that originals were converted from muskets. G.A Custer reported when the weapon heated up, it would cause shearing of the casing. The casing then had to be basically pried out with a tool, or more commonly, a knife. It is why Custer's officers bought their own rifles and ammunition.
No, it wasn't that. The 73 trapdoor carbines the 7th Cav carried were new made barrels in 45-70 with carbine load of 40is grains of powder. It was the soft copper cases of the day not the gun.
Was going to point this out... many of the artifacts found after the battle of Little Big Horn were broken knives of the soldiers who were attempting to dig out the cases stuck in the chamber... Just like Brandon's.
@@AR_119 Was it that, or the "modern loads". Not sure what that meant, but if it was something like I would load in my Marlin, or worse a Ruger One load, that design isn't going to handle it. Looking at the manual for it it lists 20k PSI max pressure so original pressures and not the hotter loads for something like the 1895. edit: scratch that, I can't read their table I guess (shitty formatting), they list 29k PSI...so should have handled anything you'd buy off the shelf.
I have a SINGULAR gripe with brandon as someone who loves lever guns (and also regularly shoots them), STOP TAKING IT OFF YOUR SHOULDER. Part of the beauty of a lever action rifle is it ejects up and away from the shooter and can easily be actuated without ever needing to drop out of your shooting posture/stance. you could have worked that lever with no harm to the gun very easily with it still tucked into your shoulder
I have to remove a lever action from my shoulder to cycle it. I know it’s designed to run the lever from the shoulder, but I have limited range of motion in my wrists and it makes cycling a gun from the shoulder really awkward. Same thing for working a pump shotgun
@@chrisbayus5189 tip for next time you run a lever, cycle it from your elbow and just rotate your wrist (if you can). the motion should be similar to waving someone into a garage bay, coming from out in front of you towards your chest. The only time I really use my wrist is when I'm "Throwing" the lever on something lightweight like a 22 and I'm going REALLY fast, like shooting competition fast.
That's what Dutch said; that's not what he meant. 😛 Just like every politician, what he says he wants, and what he actually wants, are totally different things. xD
"One US marine" "Putting lyndon b johnson in office" "I should work for the CIA" 💀💀💀 I knew he was gonna make puns at the carcano, but I didn't expect this many😂
@@vape42"the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound" yea so a pun
@@ericcartman1168 I know the definition of a pun. My point is that none of those jokes meet that definition. So if you were to say ”Can you believe this truck cost 100 grand. I got ripped off at BJ's auto but the sales woman gave me a quickie” And I replied with “Yea you definitly got fucked” That's a pun. Or if I were to say my previous joke was very punny. That would also be a pun. If I were to describe JFK's ride through Dallas as mind blowing. That would be a pun. If I were to say that a milsurp carcano is as greasy as an Italian‘s hair. That would be a joke. Puns involve word play none of those jokes have any.
1:21 Fun fact about that weird sprint animation, y'all gamers may notice soldier characters in Hell Divers 2 and other immersive milsim games run like that too. And that's 'cause when you're carrying dozens of pounds of guns and ammo and just other junk in general, you kinda can't run normally how you'd want you run. You're so bogged down gotta work with the weight you're carrying and momentum you're generating to haul yourself forward in a way where every step is half-leaps and half-bounds, like a manlier version of skipping. And we all know how heavy stuff in the 1800's was, I mean check out the rolling block later in the video, lol.
As someone who just recently finished Red Dead 2 (like in the past month) it is still fresh on my mind, and it hurts like hell to listen to that song and see the clips in the beginning. I imagine it will still hurt years after, possibly even when im lying on my death bed, but still
@CommanderofMagic forgot how I did it but I died while trying it without killing any cops and spawned with the gun and a five dollar bounty. Needless to say I wasn't complaining
The LeMat has always been one of my favorite handguns. Jealous, but also very glad we got to experience it with you. Such a beautiful handgun, thank you for showing it off! Wonderful video as always Brandon!
I love how they brought iconic weapons like the Schofield and the Lever Action Rifle to life. The attention to detail is impressive-almost feels like a history lesson in action.
You unlock the Carcano in RDR1 in a mission where you assassinate a Mexican general in a stagecoach. That game's model was a direct M38, whereas in RDR2, they gave it the period-correct rear sight.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is still one of my favourite games, my Arthur is always dual wielding LeMat Revolvers, a Lancaster Repeater for medium range mayhem, the Carcano for long range head shots and of course his boomstick for close quarters fun.
The Lancaster repeater is the OP gun. Mine looks almost exactly like the one Brandon has in this video. I always went for the volcanic pistols though, tou can get it pretty early and theyre pretty great
Love you videos brother. My 8 year old daughter and I watch all your videos. She loves firearms and this one shes going to love to see. She views firearms as art as do I, but she is also one hell of a shot for a 55lb 8 year old. You'd never guess it, shes a tiny little ballet dancer who loves firearms. Shes leaning towards competitive shooting over dance and your videos defiantly gave her a new type of love for firearms. Thank you Brandon from both of us. We watch all your buddies as well. She thinks you guys are the best. You run for president one day you got my vote!
About Maxim "the Gatling Gun": me and my friends theorised that the main reason for some characters calling Maxim "a Gatling" is due to the smiliar function of that weapon, like few pepole say "Jeep" at any terrain vehicle, or in Poland boomers refer to sports shoes as "adidasy"
@@ImperialSenpai Basically yes and to be fair here the characters of red dead are not excedingly intelligent. They know how to shoot but i doubt they would truly know the diffrence between gatling and maxim guns
A lot of Civil War vets were still around in RDR2's time, and the Gatling was what they were familiar with I guess through its ubiquity in the Old West it got the Xerox treatment and every machine gun got called a Gatling, at least until the Maxim displaced it in the public consciousness (I guess that'd be due to WW1) I wouldn't be surprised if every WW1-era machinegun got called a "Maxim" by doughboys
To be fair, "Gatling Gun" was by the late 1890s a pretty universally known word which could mean "machine gun in general". A bit like how many people today call any AR variant an M16.
Gatling guns got more than their fair share of publicity Pre WW1. They were strapped to older boats, served in most of the conflicts in larger numbers than their competition. WW1 was the first time the majority of weapons that went "Dakka Dakka Dakka" were not actually Gatling Guns, so Machine Gun took the place in the language. Because its a bit hard on the ego to suddenly call everything a Maxim Gun that shoots like that, when Maxim worked for the other side.
So about the C-96 being used in the west, there’s actually documented evidence of something very similar being used at the time. There’s a photo of Texas Ranger Frank Hamer and his ranger troop from the early 1900s, and one of them is brandishing a Luger. Not a C-96, but seeing a German pistol in the hands of a real Wild West lawman is a very close second lol
Well yes and in red dead the C-96 doesn't show up until Saint Denis and it makes sense a very populated city with a lot of european immigrants would have had them. John also says in the epilouge "what were those guns?" after the shootout with charles
The Luger was THE semi-automatic pistol of its era until the 1911 came along Ergonomic grip angle, powerful cartridge, push-button mag release - nothing else could compare.
Stoked to know i might see you out there in red dead! Hey if you've got the same crap I had that's been floating around Texas and elsewhere then I wanna share with you what worked for me, cuz my sinuses were fkd up for months: saline rinse nose and ears once, sometimes twice a day. LOCAL(not a brand just geographically local) honey spoonful twice a day, benadryl as needed. Nothing else would clear it up for me, hope this helps!
Just finished replaying this game. Best game of all time. Totally changed my life. The impression you did at the beginning was spot on! And the fact that you actually got a maxim gun for this is awesome! Overall, awesome video as always, Brandon! 👌
To be fair, the Springfield Trapdoor always had a problem with ejecting spent casings. Soldiers had to use a knife to pry the brass out in battle. It was really a mistake for the US to adopt it, but after the Civil War the Army had a surplus of Springfield muzzle losers that could be easily converted. Not to mention the general who was in charge of selecting the Army’s new breach loaders owned the patent… coincidence I’m sure.
Those original converted guns were also in 50-70. Later trapdoor models that were true smokeless powder rifles were chambered in 45-70. They switched to the Krag pretty quickly since bolt actions were becoming popular.
Correction: there is a Springfield rifle in the game which is the trap door. The krag jorgenson is called the bolt action rifle! LOVE YOUR VIDS OMG COWBOYS HOORAHHH
Colt Single action Army revolvers are magnificent firearms. My mom inherited an 1874 SAA that was a 1/10 that was sent to Europe to open a factory what never happened. Colt letters are such an amazing addition to their old firearms. A great video as always my future ATF Director.
Seems like someone has been playing red dead recently but this was wonderful to see, loved the fire arms in RDR2. Also loved that you cosplayed as Arthur Morgan, you even got thr cough.
I know for a FACT Eli has been WAITING to show off the revolver spinning and flipping for a while! I blame Revolver Ocelot because, along with red dead 2, it's the reason I bought my single action army lmao
The fun thing about the Stoeger Coach you used, you can double-barrel 50 BMG out of it. There's enough blow-by to not over pressure and blow anything up.
10:43 in the game that is just called the "bolt action rifle", the Springfield rifle in the game, is a single shot. Pretty sure it's supposed to be a sharps trapdoor.
The lemat was featured heavily in the first few seasons of the Westworld reboot by Ed Harris (the man in black), which was just about the only thing worth remembering from the westworld reboot They show him reloading it (wrong) in an episode
I wish I had more information on the LeMat used in westworld, but it was redesigned as a one off for the studio to shoot .38spc blanks. It could be very well properly reloaded for that specific prop, but it is inaccurate for the black powder version of the firearm (historically accurate)
@@corey8602 so RUclips won't let me share the link for some reason, but if you search "Westworld lemat" there is a video from the on set armorer where he talks about it at length, his RUclips is "film armorer joey Dillon" The gist is the conversion has to be unscrewed from the frame (both barrels as opposed to a regular lemat where it unscrewed from the center shotgun tube, so they made fake magnetic versions and that's what he "reloads"
Two of my favourite western movies are period pieces of the late West. 'The Great Silence' , Silence uses a Mauser C96. 'The Wild Bunch' , taking place during the turn of the 19th century they use mounted Maxim machineguns and colt m1911s. Just badass.
Great Video man. A few things, while 44 Russian was common, 45 Schofield was more common for American Schofield revolvers. It was essentially a short 45 colt (even though the Schofield is more powerful in rdr2 so it could be a 44 Russian?). The .30-40 krag is most definitely capable of running full power smokeless loads all day long, getting roughly 150-200 fps slower than .308/7.62x51 with 180 grain bullets. I believe the military loading was a 220 grain at 2000 fps. The rolling blocks “loading gate” is indeed the block, that rolls. As for the .45-70 vs lvl 4 plates, if you had some high pressure 300 grain xtreme penetrators or some other fast solid you might have had a chance. The ammo you had appeared to be the standard pressure stuff that can be used in old .45-70 rifles and designs like the Springfield trapdoor since it isn’t a strong design. Other than that gun history nerd stuff I just went off about, great video. See you at the head of the atf.
I bought a single shot shotgun on my birthday as my first gun, $300 Turkish piece of crap but it was for trap shooting in high school. Not too long after I got a Carcano M91 and that one is nice.
Brandon, I don't even play Red Dead though I am familiar with it, but this video was awesome. Keep doing what you're doing. As far as I'm concerned you're some of the best content on RUclips.

@@wishuhadmynameThe Viet officer probably acquired it from a French officer who... had no further use for it.
That sidearm has a hell of a story to tell
@@MrTak44 The .44 Russian caliber is the odd thing. Our best guess was a battlefield pickup during the Russo Japanese war that stayed in the guy's family.
There's a pretty solid argument to say Brandon could moonlight as a voice actor between the other 2385 different ventures he's excelling at.
I need to ask, why have you people not used the 2A yet?
@Saber23 in what regard?
He is a voice actor right after he got his Purple Heart he became the voice actor for Arthur Morgan

LENNEEHHHHHH! BRANDON UPLOADED HIS RED DEAD VIDEO MAH BOAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Yennel!?
LENNAAAAAH!!!!!!
C’meeeeeere boahh
WUR R YEWW LENNAYYY
YOU'RE not LENNY
First, this is now one of the best videos you have ever done in detail! I'm a huge geek of late 1800s and early 1900s firearms, and both the game plus your take on the reality is on point. Second... I may go play this now, since bo6 has been so much of a hot mess I didn't even play the campaign.
Third... Well... 45-70 lever action... Something about that cartridge has been calling me as a next to acquire. That is some MAD power from such an old and simple to reload round.
I've wanted a 45-70 for years but every time I'm ready to make the jump, I look at 45-70 ammo prices and just can't lol.
The problem with the Trapdoor Springfield was that originals were converted from muskets. G.A Custer reported when the weapon heated up, it would cause shearing of the casing. The casing then had to be basically pried out with a tool, or more commonly, a knife. It is why Custer's officers bought their own rifles and ammunition.
No, it wasn't that. The 73 trapdoor carbines the 7th Cav carried were new made barrels in 45-70 with carbine load of 40is grains of powder. It was the soft copper cases of the day not the gun.
This one was juat Uberti's garbage QC and horrid quality overall. Everyone creams themselves over their guns but they are actually total junk.
Was going to point this out... many of the artifacts found after the battle of Little Big Horn were broken knives of the soldiers who were attempting to dig out the cases stuck in the chamber... Just like Brandon's.
@@AR_119 Was it that, or the "modern loads". Not sure what that meant, but if it was something like I would load in my Marlin, or worse a Ruger One load, that design isn't going to handle it.
Looking at the manual for it it lists 20k PSI max pressure so original pressures and not the hotter loads for something like the 1895.
edit: scratch that, I can't read their table I guess (shitty formatting), they list 29k PSI...so should have handled anything you'd buy off the shelf.
I have a SINGULAR gripe with brandon as someone who loves lever guns (and also regularly shoots them), STOP TAKING IT OFF YOUR SHOULDER. Part of the beauty of a lever action rifle is it ejects up and away from the shooter and can easily be actuated without ever needing to drop out of your shooting posture/stance. you could have worked that lever with no harm to the gun very easily with it still tucked into your shoulder
Thought that was strange,, never seen anyone run a lever action like that 😂
he did both in the video lol
I have to remove a lever action from my shoulder to cycle it. I know it’s designed to run the lever from the shoulder, but I have limited range of motion in my wrists and it makes cycling a gun from the shoulder really awkward. Same thing for working a pump shotgun
I can smell the autism from this comment
@@chrisbayus5189 tip for next time you run a lever, cycle it from your elbow and just rotate your wrist (if you can). the motion should be similar to waving someone into a garage bay, coming from out in front of you towards your chest. The only time I really use my wrist is when I'm "Throwing" the lever on something lightweight like a 22 and I'm going REALLY fast, like shooting competition fast.
Upon seeing all of these cool ass guns I agree with Dutch: “We just need M O N E Y”
Where's the muneh, Dutch?
That's what Dutch said; that's not what he meant. 😛
Just like every politician, what he says he wants, and what he actually wants, are totally different things. xD

None of those are puns; they're just jokes.
@@vape42"the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound" yea so a pun
@@ericcartman1168 I know the definition of a pun. My point is that none of those jokes meet that definition. So if you were to say ”Can you believe this truck cost 100 grand. I got ripped off at BJ's auto but the sales woman gave me a quickie” And I replied with “Yea you definitly got fucked” That's a pun. Or if I were to say my previous joke was very punny. That would also be a pun. If I were to describe JFK's ride through Dallas as mind blowing. That would be a pun. If I were to say that a milsurp carcano is as greasy as an Italian‘s hair. That would be a joke. Puns involve word play none of those jokes have any.

It's so cool to see Lt. Captain Herrera reenacting his life after he served in the war of Northern aggression. What a hero
1:21 Fun fact about that weird sprint animation, y'all gamers may notice soldier characters in Hell Divers 2 and other immersive milsim games run like that too. And that's 'cause when you're carrying dozens of pounds of guns and ammo and just other junk in general, you kinda can't run normally how you'd want you run. You're so bogged down gotta work with the weight you're carrying and momentum you're generating to haul yourself forward in a way where every step is half-leaps and half-bounds, like a manlier version of skipping. And we all know how heavy stuff in the 1800's was, I mean check out the rolling block later in the video, lol.
The doom guy shot with the double barrel. Nice!
As someone who just recently finished Red Dead 2 (like in the past month) it is still fresh on my mind, and it hurts like hell to listen to that song and see the clips in the beginning. I imagine it will still hurt years after, possibly even when im lying on my death bed, but still
As someone who has several play throughs it still hurts.
Yes it will
I have 6 playthroughs and well over 1000 hours in this game.
If Im not playing it Im watching videos about it.
A true masterpiece of a game.
I got it the day it came out and played it everyday until it was finished. I'm on my 3rd playthrough now. It still hurts.
It's so amazing how well thought-through media can deliver these very real-world reactions in us isn't it? WHAT A GAME 🔥🔥
My personal favorite guns from thr game were the Schofield revolvers. Getting one early from the back of the medicine store was amazing
The LeMat revolvers are a close second
Based
I always get a 300 dollar bounty when I do that. Worth it.
@CommanderofMagic forgot how I did it but I died while trying it without killing any cops and spawned with the gun and a five dollar bounty. Needless to say I wasn't complaining
I love how you had the camera frame you inspecting the trapdoor rifle like you do in the game, very quick but very nice detail
The LeMat has always been one of my favorite handguns. Jealous, but also very glad we got to experience it with you. Such a beautiful handgun, thank you for showing it off! Wonderful video as always Brandon!
I love the elephant rifle for its simple sound and feel. And it kills everything dead.

2:28 my dream pistol, wanted one ever since origins on black ops 2
After the shot at 13:46 you can hear the shot from the grassy knoll
0:11 the first lines get me
I love how they brought iconic weapons like the Schofield and the Lever Action Rifle to life. The attention to detail is impressive-almost feels like a history lesson in action.
You mean like a history lesson in lever action HAHAHAHAHAHAH
13:22 isn’t it a like a en block clip as a stripper clip doesn’t load in to the internal magazine like the m1 garand

Love how Brandon just ignores Eli playing as Dutch. 13:19 And that Lee Harvey Oswald reference
You unlock the Carcano in RDR1 in a mission where you assassinate a Mexican general in a stagecoach. That game's model was a direct M38, whereas in RDR2, they gave it the period-correct rear sight.
Came here to say that
Oh man, brandon the army of darkness reference just made me smile. Shop smart, shop S-mart. That movie brings me back my man! Thank you!
Red Dead Redemption 2 is still one of my favourite games, my Arthur is always dual wielding LeMat Revolvers, a Lancaster Repeater for medium range mayhem, the Carcano for long range head shots and of course his boomstick for close quarters fun.
The Lancaster repeater is the OP gun. Mine looks almost exactly like the one Brandon has in this video. I always went for the volcanic pistols though, tou can get it pretty early and theyre pretty great
Im glad Brandon Herrera finally has done the best game I've played, these guns are beautiful
Love you videos brother. My 8 year old daughter and I watch all your videos. She loves firearms and this one shes going to love to see. She views firearms as art as do I, but she is also one hell of a shot for a 55lb 8 year old. You'd never guess it, shes a tiny little ballet dancer who loves firearms. Shes leaning towards competitive shooting over dance and your videos defiantly gave her a new type of love for firearms. Thank you Brandon from both of us. We watch all your buddies as well. She thinks you guys are the best. You run for president one day you got my vote!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video ATF director Hererra
Not only this video covered RDR weapons but also hunt showdown weapons. I love it
10:54 ACTUALLY that's the Bolt-Action. The Springfield is the Springfield Trapdoor.
Exactly what i was gonna say
Funny enough my dad dual wielded sawn off 20 gauge shotguns during high threat prisoner transports and trials. The 80s and 90s were wild as a cop.
About Maxim "the Gatling Gun": me and my friends theorised that the main reason for some characters calling Maxim "a Gatling" is due to the smiliar function of that weapon, like few pepole say "Jeep" at any terrain vehicle, or in Poland boomers refer to sports shoes as "adidasy"
So the Kleenex and Q-tip treatment. Or how it’s common in places like the Philippines to call all rifles Armalites even if they’re not ARs.
@@ImperialSenpai Basically yes and to be fair here the characters of red dead are not excedingly intelligent. They know how to shoot but i doubt they would truly know the diffrence between gatling and maxim guns
A lot of Civil War vets were still around in RDR2's time, and the Gatling was what they were familiar with
I guess through its ubiquity in the Old West it got the Xerox treatment and every machine gun got called a Gatling, at least until the Maxim displaced it in the public consciousness (I guess that'd be due to WW1)
I wouldn't be surprised if every WW1-era machinegun got called a "Maxim" by doughboys
I love that Daniel Lanois contributed that song in the intro to RDR2. He's such an underrated musician.
To be fair, "Gatling Gun" was by the late 1890s a pretty universally known word which could mean "machine gun in general". A bit like how many people today call any AR variant an M16.
you said M16, but I think you meant 'scary black rifle'
Assault rifle 15s?
They say it was around during civil war times as well
@@nephicus339did you just solve the inexplicable fear some feel towards firearms? Are they just racists?? 😮
Gatling guns got more than their fair share of publicity Pre WW1. They were strapped to older boats, served in most of the conflicts in larger numbers than their competition. WW1 was the first time the majority of weapons that went "Dakka Dakka Dakka" were not actually Gatling Guns, so Machine Gun took the place in the language. Because its a bit hard on the ego to suddenly call everything a Maxim Gun that shoots like that, when Maxim worked for the other side.
So about the C-96 being used in the west, there’s actually documented evidence of something very similar being used at the time. There’s a photo of Texas Ranger Frank Hamer and his ranger troop from the early 1900s, and one of them is brandishing a Luger. Not a C-96, but seeing a German pistol in the hands of a real Wild West lawman is a very close second lol
That’s interesting man how european sidearms saw the last days of the west
Any chance you could link/ point towards where the picture is please? Would love to see it
Well yes and in red dead the C-96 doesn't show up until Saint Denis and it makes sense a very populated city with a lot of european immigrants would have had them. John also says in the epilouge "what were those guns?" after the shootout with charles
The Luger was THE semi-automatic pistol of its era until the 1911 came along
Ergonomic grip angle, powerful cartridge, push-button mag release - nothing else could compare.
Rdr2 is genuinely one of the best games ever made. I’m glad to see that it is still making appearances this long after its release. Nice job Brandon
Stoked to know i might see you out there in red dead!
Hey if you've got the same crap I had that's been floating around Texas and elsewhere then I wanna share with you what worked for me, cuz my sinuses were fkd up for months: saline rinse nose and ears once, sometimes twice a day. LOCAL(not a brand just geographically local) honey spoonful twice a day, benadryl as needed.
Nothing else would clear it up for me, hope this helps!
Just finished replaying this game. Best game of all time. Totally changed my life. The impression you did at the beginning was spot on! And the fact that you actually got a maxim gun for this is awesome! Overall, awesome video as always, Brandon! 👌
I agree. It definitely makes you change your view on yourself and the world around you
I’m glad people are agreeing with this comment. Life changing is sincerely an effect of this game and I cannot understate that
Same, it's a bitter sweet ending if you play right
Nier: Automata is the best game ever created.
9:05 funny enough the french were apparently the first to use gas in the first war, it was just tear gas not mustard spicey kind tho
Hence, the Germans felt "justified" when they used chlorine later in 1915 after the French used CS gas at the beginning of the war.
I LOVE the army of darkness referance 😂😂 9:10
that made this video go from a 10/10 to an 11/10
Outstanding episode gentleman. Gratitude for your efforts and excellence.
To be fair, the Springfield Trapdoor always had a problem with ejecting spent casings. Soldiers had to use a knife to pry the brass out in battle. It was really a mistake for the US to adopt it, but after the Civil War the Army had a surplus of Springfield muzzle losers that could be easily converted. Not to mention the general who was in charge of selecting the Army’s new breach loaders owned the patent… coincidence I’m sure.
The reason they had to pry them out back then was because of copper casings. Later they switched to brass to help remedy that issue.
Those original converted guns were also in 50-70.
Later trapdoor models that were true smokeless powder rifles were chambered in 45-70. They switched to the Krag pretty quickly since bolt actions were becoming popular.
Correction: there is a Springfield rifle in the game which is the trap door. The krag jorgenson is called the bolt action rifle! LOVE YOUR VIDS OMG COWBOYS HOORAHHH
I came here to say the same thing
It confused me a bit that the "Springfield" could now hold more than one round 😅
Yeah noticed that mistake too 😂
Just came to check if someone already commented this :)
iirc, the catalogue in the game calls it a Springfield.
Colt Single action Army revolvers are magnificent firearms. My mom inherited an 1874 SAA that was a 1/10 that was sent to Europe to open a factory what never happened. Colt letters are such an amazing addition to their old firearms. A great video as always my future ATF Director.
10:26 shot this irl and I love it for a lever it’s easy to use also cus of the weight it has basically 0 recoil love them
Seems like someone has been playing red dead recently but this was wonderful to see, loved the fire arms in RDR2. Also loved that you cosplayed as Arthur Morgan, you even got thr cough.
It’s always a good day when our favorite ATF director uploads a vidoe
I know for a FACT Eli has been WAITING to show off the revolver spinning and flipping for a while! I blame Revolver Ocelot because, along with red dead 2, it's the reason I bought my single action army lmao
The fun thing about the Stoeger Coach you used, you can double-barrel 50 BMG out of it. There's enough blow-by to not over pressure and blow anything up.
10:43 in the game that is just called the "bolt action rifle", the Springfield rifle in the game, is a single shot. Pretty sure it's supposed to be a sharps trapdoor.
Based on the Springfield trapdoor, but yes
12:31 You alright there black lung?
The lemat was featured heavily in the first few seasons of the Westworld reboot by Ed Harris (the man in black), which was just about the only thing worth remembering from the westworld reboot
They show him reloading it (wrong) in an episode
I wish I had more information on the LeMat used in westworld, but it was redesigned as a one off for the studio to shoot .38spc blanks. It could be very well properly reloaded for that specific prop, but it is inaccurate for the black powder version of the firearm (historically accurate)

@@corey8602 so RUclips won't let me share the link for some reason, but if you search "Westworld lemat" there is a video from the on set armorer where he talks about it at length, his RUclips is "film armorer joey Dillon"
The gist is the conversion has to be unscrewed from the frame (both barrels as opposed to a regular lemat where it unscrewed from the center shotgun tube, so they made fake magnetic versions and that's what he "reloads"
@@corey8602 It wasn't supposed to be a black powder firearm, all firearms in the park take the same ammunition.

Tahiti ARTHUR! Tahiti!!
Great Video man. A few things, while 44 Russian was common, 45 Schofield was more common for American Schofield revolvers. It was essentially a short 45 colt (even though the Schofield is more powerful in rdr2 so it could be a 44 Russian?). The .30-40 krag is most definitely capable of running full power smokeless loads all day long, getting roughly 150-200 fps slower than .308/7.62x51 with 180 grain bullets. I believe the military loading was a 220 grain at 2000 fps. The rolling blocks “loading gate” is indeed the block, that rolls. As for the .45-70 vs lvl 4 plates, if you had some high pressure 300 grain xtreme penetrators or some other fast solid you might have had a chance. The ammo you had appeared to be the standard pressure stuff that can be used in old .45-70 rifles and designs like the Springfield trapdoor since it isn’t a strong design. Other than that gun history nerd stuff I just went off about, great video. See you at the head of the atf.
I was going to say Brandon should do one of these for the guns of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but then I remembered that's pretty much the rest of the channel.
just a quick one there is a maxim and a gatling gun in rdr2 hope that help any confusion
