Great video, I live in Britain and happen to own a genuine 19 Century blunderbuss on which that is modelled. It has a brass barrel and is marked "Royal Mail" because it was issued to the postman of the time carrying mail on stage coaches. It has "Tower of London" proof marks because at some time in the late 19 Century it was converted from flintlock to percussion cap as they all were. My family "acquired" it when it fell off the back of a Royal Mail coach onto a road near the family home during a severe storm one dark night. Somehow we never got around to asking if the Royal Mail wanted their gun back, dunno why, must have slipped our memory.
The moments before the chronograph readings where you can clearly see that Scott is aiming directly at the chronograph will never cease to send me into a laughing fit
The allure of the BLUNDERBUSS was that it basically could shoot anything that would fit inside the bore. Broken chunks of metal, nails, coins, marbles, small rocks, creek gravel, and even a compressed Furbie. Glow in the dark projectiles might be cool too on the night shots. NEVER leave a gap between projectiles and the powder charge, whatever you shoot. Can turn gun barrel into a bomb. Watch out for ricochets on hard targets.
Unfortunately it’s an urban myth that they loaded a blunderbuss with things like nails, coins, rocks etc as doing that would damage the barrel and also potentially cause a blockage in the barrel resulting in the gun exploding

the coolest thing with musket-type weapons is the delay between the shot of the pin and the shot coming out of the barrel, also the big smoke coming out of it :) the slo-mo shows it well!
To be honest, that blunderbuss probably doesn't kick much more than a 12-gauge with 3" magnum loads, and certainly not as much as some of his double rifles.
Pretty sure RUclips doesn’t allow that type of stuff. He can do it, but he’ll get strikes against his channel which may lead to RUclips disabling or deleting his channel. Sucks, but I don’t blame him for protecting his income.
Its simple powder shot ram the shot down make shure its all down nice a good push to be shure. Then pull hammer back half way then put the cap on nipple pull hammer all the way back aim pull triger BANG
@@pacifistminigun3987 Pretty sure I’ve heard numerous guntubers mention that RUclips demonetizes or puts strikes against videos that show “gunsmithing” content. Things like assembling an AR upper/lower, building a gun from a parts kit, doing modifications, attaching accessories, or in this case the loading procedure for a black powder gun are some of the things they take issue with in the past couple years. Basically you can make content shooting it, the content just can’t have instructions about how to operate the gun or change it in any way. Pay attention to major gun RUclips channels, you’ll probably notice you NEVER see them doing these things. These people built up a huge following that I’m sure pays them well. Having a video demonetized hurts (the other reason they usually blur red images that might be mistaken for blood). Getting strikes against your channel and having it removed and your past videos deleted by RUclips would ruin them.
Fun fact: The Blunderbuss or "Musketoon" was just a shortened musket with a flared barrel for easy loading. As mentioned they were made for riding on a moving vehicle. The flared muzzle didn't help with spread. It was just there to allow easier loading while being jostled on a carriage. Round ball fired out of these was pretty common. Scatter shot (shotgun loads) were adopted to help aim while firing from a moving/jostling carriage. Muskets like the Brown Bess were anywhere from .69 to .80 caliber. For reference the barrel of a 12ga is .71 caliber.
I think some credit should be given to its accuracy with how short the barrel is, it might as well be a sawn-off, lol Also I love that it's a percussion cap, one of the last great blunder busses of the 1800's
@@naxmorvigatore4168 yes Definitely smoothbore… precursor to the sawed off shot gun… I used to have one in flintlock with .72 cal (12 gauge) that was fun to shoot… traded it off years ago… need to finish up one in .69 cal and make a video … very fun guns to shoot… but short effective range…
I love that little delay between the hammer hitting the percussion cap and the spark lighting off the powder. Thank you Scott for bringing out the old stuff. I enjoy shooting black powder era firearms!
Hey Scott! you can see the blunderbuss knocked the side view mirror off. I don't know if it was from direct impact or if it was from just being shook by the impacts. But based on the rest of the spread I think there is a solid case for direct impact.
Me too! A few months ago I completely restored my late dad's old muzzle loader that he built in the 1980's (refinished stock, re-blued barrel, polished brass). Now it's hanging on my wall cause it looks too pretty to shoot, but I'll eventually shoot it.
It’s cool because you can easily make gunpowder and projectiles for them too. It’s possible to do the same for modern firearms, but it’s a lot more complicated and dangerous, especially smokeless powder if you want it to be storage safe.

Awesome period piece! I would very much like to see more blunderbuss fun. More blunderbuss shenanigans please! A variety of different shot sizes maybe? 🤓🤓🤓😆
Seeing this scenario and this weapon I can only remember the horror franchise "Evil Dead", what incredible scenes could not be filmed in this context...?!
7:08 Hey Scott, some of us actually are interested in chronograph readings from these insane guns. I'm not saying abandon the bit, but maybe take an off-camera actual reading and put the results on the screen as the chronograph disintegrates? 😁👍
When I first read Blunderbuss in the title my brain went and expected a loading montage set to Bob Segers "Old Time Rock & Roll". Also I imagine a bit more length on the barrel would help but might just be my personal taste. Now Scott just need to find a affordable Nock Gun :-) Thanks and Best of Luck.
Big bore blunderbusses, properly loaded, could almost take your shoulder off. They were well overloaded and held to the side at the hip. When you fired you spun to the side you fired from to absorb the recoil. Look at the pics you'll see an awful lot with just a pistol grip. The shoulder stock was for hunting with lighter loads to make a sort of dual purpose gun.
😂 Scott, never change brother the lord gave you an awesome gift for brightening the days of others. Well done mate. Keep safe and God bless. Blessings from Australia.
Do it brother. I’d personally start by potentially casting a cannon rough then boring the size, or just straight bore in a solid piece. Some operations of electro etching allow you to even making rifling in barrels too.
This is the best intro you have ever done. I've never heard or seen a joke to that effect, and it caught me off guard. I kept trying to guess what the punchline was going to be. Phenomenal job Scott! 😊
"Arggg, grandpa, I have strung me a musket filled with random trash... I will call it... A blunderbuss!" "ARRGGGG THAT THING BE A DAMN GIMMICKY MATEY, US OLD SEA DOGS SWEAR BY THE CUTLASS FOR A REASON!"
Now thats the great-grandfather of shotguns. More suited akin to the sawed-off shotgun, but with a longer barrel, I wager the results would be different too. Cool piece of history kind sir.
Sweet little gun! I like it. Wish it could be packed a little hotter if you know what i mean! I had a random thought, how about testing if you can actually discharge a round without pulling the trigger. Like dropping a revolver on the hammer or even dropping a rifle or semiauto pistol. If something hits a gun hard enuf, can it jar the firing pin and diacharge without a trigger pull?
That was just plain fun to watch! Ya know back in the day, they would fill those things with just about anything, Rocks, scraps of barb wire, nails, just what ever happened to be handy and would reasonably fit down the bore. Thanks Scott, great fun!!!
Just tossing this out there, thats probably a myth. The amount of damage you'd do to the gun by shoving random crap in it (and out), compared to how easy it is to make lead shot (no matter the time period... I dont doubt that people did toss stuff in them for desperate situations, but I am quite sure there's no evidence it was standard procedure or even common
The old Blunderbuss was originally made to sweep the decks of ships of the enemy before the boarding party came over. It's the hand held version of the swivel cannon that was used from high decks.
I think Scott missed the boat😅! The Blunderbuss was made to shoot whatever you had lying around. Let's see some roofing nails, rocks and broken glass go down range.
It cracked me up when Scott looked at the bullet holes he traced curiously and then blurts out "it looks like a shoe!" Love your channel Scott! I'm always excited to see your videos!!
This reminds me of that meme from that old movie with the guy travelling through time into medieval times and when he's attacked by knights he goes "And this! This is my BOOMSTICK!" scaring all people around him and the king. 😂
I have one as a family pass down from 1821😊 saw action against the Turks Great grandad 4 times used it to great effect, it was even used in WWI. One thing that was characteristic of it is you had to use a wall to brace this weapon as it was a mini cannon ❤
Is anyone else looking forward to seeing a chip-o-matic 20,000, and how long it'll take Scott to get there? Thanks for taking the time to make these for us. I always look forward to them.
Hey Scot Love ❤❤your all videos.I have a suggestion.Make a video in which you should check that how far a gun would fly off due to its recoil. Place the guns without any support and then fire them with string and see how they react. Guys please like this if you want to also see this video I swear it will be fun to watch.

Awesome period piece! I would very much like to see more blunderbuss fun. More blunderbuss shenanigans please! A variety of different shot sizes maybe? 🤓🤓🤓😆
Seeing this scenario and this weapon I can only remember the horror franchise "Evil Dead", what incredible scenes could not be filmed in this context...?!
Love the slow mo shot of you firing it, the hammer going down then then wait wait for it BOOOOOM
7:08 Hey Scott, some of us actually are interested in chronograph readings from these insane guns. I'm not saying abandon the bit, but maybe take an off-camera actual reading and put the results on the screen as the chronograph disintegrates? 😁👍
‘Sir, do you have any firearms in the vehicle?’ “Aarrr! Indeed I do orifiser !”🏴☠️

@@benrig89Spanish inquisition: I think not
Legally speaking in America non cartridge black powder guns aren’t considered firearms. Also I’m not a lawyer.
@@erroneous6947 I was going to point that out, but it wouldn’t go well with the joke. Important point in the future perhaps. Don’t tell ze furer
Wow this video was done really well. Inloved all the jokes and funny moments I had a ton of laughs and love old blumderbusses. Subscribed
When I first read Blunderbuss in the title my brain went and expected a loading montage set to Bob Segers "Old Time Rock & Roll".
Also I imagine a bit more length on the barrel would help but might just be my personal taste. Now Scott just need to find a affordable Nock Gun :-)
Thanks and Best of Luck.

For more flames from black powder, add some powdered non dairy creamer.
Big bore blunderbusses, properly loaded, could almost take your shoulder off. They were well overloaded and held to the side at the hip. When you fired you spun to the side you fired from to absorb the recoil. Look at the pics you'll see an awful lot with just a pistol grip. The shoulder stock was for hunting with lighter loads to make a sort of dual purpose gun.
😂 Scott, never change brother the lord gave you an awesome gift for brightening the days of others. Well done mate. Keep safe and God bless. Blessings from Australia.

Throw a branch at it, it'd be Fanta Stick.

was going to comment this
The shredder vomiting soda killed me 😂
Lol, same 😂😂😂
My condolences to your family
Having the ability to run a Mercedes limo through a pasture and into a table, directly after shooting a blunderbuss. Truly the american dream
It's a Cadillac
@samshobe this does not change my point lmao
@@Mr.Earthmanliving i know jest making sure you know and he is living the American dream 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇸
@samshobe whell what do ya know, learned i lil bit new just then. I knew mercedes was german but not that cadillac was American. Thank you
I can't believe Scott's at 4.17 million subscribers that's absolutely insane fair play he never lets you down
Fun fact: blunderbuss is from the Dutch "donderbus" which basically means "thunder box".
some of my favorite gun humor on RUclips hands down.
Great slow motion. Super cool! Thank you for sharing.
YE OLD BOOMSTICK ENTERS THE ATMOSPHERE OF BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Been thinking about building a blunderbuss for years now. I like the option of loading whatever I can find.
Do it brother.
I’d personally start by potentially casting a cannon rough then boring the size, or just straight bore in a solid piece.
Some operations of electro etching allow you to even making rifling in barrels too.
This is the best intro you have ever done. I've never heard or seen a joke to that effect, and it caught me off guard. I kept trying to guess what the punchline was going to be. Phenomenal job Scott! 😊
"Arggg, grandpa, I have strung me a musket filled with random trash... I will call it... A blunderbuss!"
"ARRGGGG THAT THING BE A DAMN GIMMICKY MATEY, US OLD SEA DOGS SWEAR BY THE CUTLASS FOR A REASON!"
Scott’s shoulder deserves the Medal of Honor.
Now thats the great-grandfather of shotguns. More suited akin to the sawed-off shotgun, but with a longer barrel, I wager the results would be different too.
Cool piece of history kind sir.
I own a Blunderbuss from the year 1700. it is a flintlock and it still functions. Nails ,chain and even marbles.
Try quarters
Sweet little gun! I like it. Wish it could be packed a little hotter if you know what i mean!
I had a random thought, how about testing if you can actually discharge a round without pulling the trigger. Like dropping a revolver on the hammer or even dropping a rifle or semiauto pistol. If something hits a gun hard enuf, can it jar the firing pin and diacharge without a trigger pull?
The chronograph gag gets me every single time 🤣
Gets me, too. I don't have a chronograph, so it kinda hurts a little bit.
That was just plain fun to watch! Ya know back in the day, they would fill those things with just about anything, Rocks, scraps of barb wire, nails, just what ever happened to be handy and would reasonably fit down the bore. Thanks Scott, great fun!!!
Just tossing this out there, thats probably a myth. The amount of damage you'd do to the gun by shoving random crap in it (and out), compared to how easy it is to make lead shot (no matter the time period...
I dont doubt that people did toss stuff in them for desperate situations, but I am quite sure there's no evidence it was standard procedure or even common
The old Blunderbuss was originally made to sweep the decks of ships of the enemy before the boarding party came over.
It's the hand held version of the swivel cannon that was used from high decks.
Donderbus in het Nederlands
And the Germans complained about it and tried to make it illegal to use in warfare.
“Jeff don’t stand so good”.. 😂😂
Blunderbuss might make a good hallway clearing gun.
@@RachDarastrix2?!?😑😑😑
i love this big bore guns, not because they're big but because how satisfying is the delay between hammer *thunk* and powder ignition in slo-mo
Yeah, that sound feels oddly pleasant.
@@Fireball7428 You can feel the chemical reaction in your hands without getting them burnt. I get a similar sensation from holding Roman candles.
"We have 8 2 liters of Ginger Ale & Mountain Dew" - *All of it is Fanta*
As accurate as a sneeze, as dangerous as a dinosaur stampede. I like it!
I think Scott missed the boat😅! The Blunderbuss was made to shoot whatever you had lying around. Let's see some roofing nails, rocks and broken glass go down range.
How about a 6 inch summer sausage coming in hot?
Some golf balls or foosballswould be funny. I made a potato gun that shot foosballs, it’s incredible how destructive they can be
That's not actually true. It's just an early shotgun with a flanged barrel for ease of loading when you're on the move.
You do actually have to be a little careful. You don't want anything that will get wedged in the barrel.
Hell yeah! 7 bore anything is wicked. Scott u're a gifted shooter!
It cracked me up when Scott looked at the bullet holes he traced curiously and then blurts out "it looks like a shoe!"
Love your channel Scott! I'm always excited to see your videos!!
I absolutely love how much the limo struggled on the mud.
Whered that come from? Did I miss something?
@@Daddy_D2015 - 10:00
@ronkostars4258 I mean when he get the limo? Did he do a video before with it??
@@Daddy_D2015 - Sorry, I thought your question was about the car spinning out in the wet field.
He has a car channel, so I assume it is from there. @@Daddy_D2015
My mom is calling Scott!? WTF!? That. Is...

AWESOME!
This reminds me of that meme from that old movie with the guy travelling through time into medieval times and when he's attacked by knights he goes "And this! This is my BOOMSTICK!" scaring all people around him and the king. 😂
As a Canadian of a certain age, hearing a person call a store window mannequin "Jeff" brings back happy childhood memories 😅
Today's special!😊
Thanks for keeping us entertained Scott. Nice to have something to chuckle at once in awhile 👍
You gone and done it. Just when I think you have scraped the bottom of awesome you go and do this. 👏👏👏
I have one as a family pass down from 1821😊 saw action against the Turks Great grandad 4 times used it to great effect, it was even used in WWI. One thing that was characteristic of it is you had to use a wall to brace this weapon as it was a mini cannon ❤
You are too funny! Trying to chronograph a blunderbuss made me have a really good belly laugh. I love you brother!!!
Of course he shot the chronograph he can’t use one and have it survive the video.
So true! Hope the next video involves the crane truck. LOL@@Snow_captainOG
Is anyone else looking forward to seeing a chip-o-matic 20,000, and how long it'll take Scott to get there?
Thanks for taking the time to make these for us.
I always look forward to them.
Never cease to amaze me with what you get your hands on the Scott
Hey Scot Love ❤❤your all videos.I have a suggestion.Make a video in which you should check that how far a gun would fly off due to its recoil.
Place the guns without any support and then fire them with string and see how they react.
Guys please like this if you want to also see this video
I swear it will be fun to watch.
🤣🤣🤣 that Chrono, I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣
He "almost" missed! 😂
Hindsight is 20-20, forward sight is 30-30.
In fairness, so is the Chrono
That "Chip O Matic 6000" totally LOL'ed the heaven out of me :).
