@@Madmax45247 Never said Marston is dumb, or anything like that, neither than north americand didn't know about their past back then, I may've made a wrong choice of words explaining myself, sorry.

Although I admit it feels pretty inaccurate of him, specially considering RDR2's story backing it up, just trying to give it some sense.
Considering the value of brass back then, I doubt he would just have a brass instrument just lying out in the open for a potential thief to spy upon. Brass was more used back then because better machining tooling(eg carbide inserts) didn't yet exist to make economical steel milling/turning possible. Therefore not only was brass more valuable due to inefficiencies in industry but it was also more demanded for goods that would later be produced out of cheaper steel, diecast, or even aluminum. Also it had more consistency since in the pre-Bessimer days, the quality of 2 pieces of steel manufactured by the same men using the same puddling furnaces and carburization processes could be wildly different.

In reality, the main limiting factor for guns back then would've been the gunpowder. Charcoal is easy to find but you want it to be made from stuff like willow wood which isn't common in the desert. And, while saltpeter can be manufactured from, you know, yellow liquid, there's kind of a limit on how much you can make in a given span of time especially when you're having to compete with farmers who want that same liquid to fertilize plants and trees. This is likely one of the big reasons why guns like blunderbusses weren't as common. They wasted a lot of gunpowder while a rifle was far more efficient. The biggest advantage of such a weapon is that it, like a smooth-bore musket, isn't very accurate and soldiers and civilians in the past often aimed to miss their targets because not everyone is cold-blooded.

Extremely Rural/poor areas of the US can still feel very behind the times. I've seen some small towns tucked away in the hills that I'd swear were still living in the late 90's or early 00's if it weren't for the anachronisms you see like the odd modern truck or LED streetlight. I can only imagine back then when there was much less personal mobility that taking a train from somewhere out west on a once in a lifetime trip to say... New York, would feel like stepping onto an entirely new planet.
@@lordofspearton8643The rural urban divide is a brand of this in almost the entire world. As someone who lives in a very urbanized area rural America is very unsettling.
All they do is release dlc content on the same game over and over even though they could make more people happy If they try to make more for red dead one even update and fix what undead nightmare has issues with
He’s right, you could use just about anything you could fit in the barrel as ammunition and all of it would be equally if not more devastating than lead shot.
Not really. Lead shot has a high density and the smallest possible surface area. Unless you have a stockpile of depleted uranium or a bunch of gold, there's really nothing better than lead. A piece of steel shot may have a higher muzzle velocity but it slows down much faster after a few feet.
@@ryelor123 8mm steel bearings out of a black powder blunderbuss is DEVASTATING at 50 feet. Around 150 you start to notice a drastic decrease in power. Comparable damage to a .22lr if it just was a bigger projectile at that range. (And obviously that’s assuming you get any to hit the target at that range with the spread of a blunderbuss) The issue with steel bearings isn’t supposed rapid decrease of “power”. It’s that they spread faster then lead shot does. These are of course, only my own observations and experience. The way I load it is likely not reflective of how most would. (I made a sorta stiff fabric “shot cup” and a felt pad directly below it to hold the bearings tighter)
Homies trying to convince John and keep him happy, but still pissed off at his lack of thanks for the weapon. Dickens knew what it could do and probably assumed John would too and when he was displeased, Dickens felt insulted. What am I saying it’s a freakin video game they aren’t thinking anything😂
Here's the thing though; a gun that you can load pretty much anything into as ammunition would actually be perfectly at home in the wild west seeing as you can't always rely on getting decent bullets
To this day most developers still avoid showing items being passed between actors and RDR did it back then. It has to be a really hard thing to accomplish properly, otherwise everyone would do it that way instead of hands being off-screen whenever things are being passed around. Also this reminds me of how in RDR2 when Micah is looting Sadie's house you can watch him and depending on the angle you're looking from he staches the items he picks on the opposite side of his belt area so you can't see the items disappearing since he doesn't have a satchel. This kind of care for the small detail is really fascinating to witness.

@@muebleriascad6604 guts and blackpowder is a game set in the 1800s where zombies appear and one of the weapons that you can use is the blunderbuss and it’s basically a shotgun.
i think this is showing how fast the gun industry was progressing. in the 1800s we went from matchlock to flintlock to caplock to "action"s to automatic just by 1892. and now one of the worlds most popular handguns is a century old
And despite all that, shotguns still sucked, the Philippine-American War was notorious for how those paper cartridge shotgun shells were useless. That's why the US wanted a .45 sidearm as a backup, something with stopping power that wouldn't be so unreliable as a shotgun.
Matchlocks would have been an anochronism even in the 1700's, let alone the 1800's. By the late 1600's everyone was going over to flintlocks. As for the transition from flintlock, to caplock, to smokeless and self contained cartridges and even the first automatics, yeah, that all happened in 50 years. Might be nitpicking, but saying that they were using matchlocks in the 1800's is the same time difference as saying we used muzzle loaders in the 2000's.
@@Alguien644 Who used them effectively in WWI? All of one army in WWI on the Western Front used shotguns and only on recon patrols. Were shotguns used on the African theatre or something?
It was safer back then to make jokes since the people who made the games weren't typical citizens but instead the outcasts that the rest of society ignored. Now in days, you can't make certain jokes without some greedy thief claiming to be offended and starting a mud-flinging hissy fit in order to get money from losers who want to feel like they're making the world a better place without doing any actual work(except that which was necessary to earn the money they threw away). Once you realize that the average person will throw cash at people who claim to be fighting against bad things, you'll understand the problems of the modern world. People want to feel better about themselves without actually being good people. The guy who donates $100 to an activist flipping out over the portrayal of black men in video games can feel better about himself when he dials 911 the moment he sees a black man walking on the sidewalk outside his home in the gated community.

Extremely Rural/poor areas of the US can still feel very behind the times. I've seen some small towns tucked away in the hills that I'd swear were still living in the late 90's or early 00's if it weren't for the anachronisms you see like the odd modern truck or LED streetlight.
I can only imagine back then when there was much less personal mobility that taking a train from somewhere out west on a once in a lifetime trip to say... New York, would feel like stepping onto an entirely new planet.
@@lordofspearton8643The rural urban divide is a brand of this in almost the entire world. As someone who lives in a very urbanized area rural America is very unsettling.
They don’t make DLC like this anymore
I could never get it to work tbh
Rockstar doesn't make DLC at all anymore 😭
@@nicktheloser2974 i play it on 360, uninstalling updates has worked perfectly for me
*sips* yep Red Dead Redemption was a good game.
All they do is release dlc content on the same game over and over even though they could make more people happy If they try to make more for red dead one even update and fix what undead nightmare has issues with
West Dickens: Would I lie to you John?
Marston: Yes! So much. All the fucking time!

He’s right, you could use just about anything you could fit in the barrel as ammunition and all of it would be equally if not more devastating than lead shot.
Not really. Lead shot has a high density and the smallest possible surface area. Unless you have a stockpile of depleted uranium or a bunch of gold, there's really nothing better than lead. A piece of steel shot may have a higher muzzle velocity but it slows down much faster after a few feet.
@@ryelor123 8mm steel bearings out of a black powder blunderbuss is DEVASTATING at 50 feet.
Around 150 you start to notice a drastic decrease in power. Comparable damage to a .22lr if it just was a bigger projectile at that range. (And obviously that’s assuming you get any to hit the target at that range with the spread of a blunderbuss)
The issue with steel bearings isn’t supposed rapid decrease of “power”. It’s that they spread faster then lead shot does.
These are of course, only my own observations and experience. The way I load it is likely not reflective of how most would.
(I made a sorta stiff fabric “shot cup” and a felt pad directly below it to hold the bearings tighter)
Weren't there stories of Seamen who started to use Shattered glass pieces as amunition when they started to lack lead balls?
Love the way Nigel says "peashooter!"
Homies trying to convince John and keep him happy, but still pissed off at his lack of thanks for the weapon. Dickens knew what it could do and probably assumed John would too and when he was displeased, Dickens felt insulted. What am I saying it’s a freakin video game they aren’t thinking anything😂
Guts an blackpowder reference
pretty sure it came from guts and blackpowder, also it isn't a reference
I always liked the relationship between these two. They bicker and argue a lot but you can tell that deep down they like each other.
I think you misspelled tolerate.
But indeed, John does grow to like Nigel after the raid on fort mercer.
Marston bickers with everyone
me playing as seaman while trying to get the marston badge in G&B:
Here's the thing though; a gun that you can load pretty much anything into as ammunition would actually be perfectly at home in the wild west seeing as you can't always rely on getting decent bullets
To this day most developers still avoid showing items being passed between actors and RDR did it back then. It has to be a really hard thing to accomplish properly, otherwise everyone would do it that way instead of hands being off-screen whenever things are being passed around.
Also this reminds me of how in RDR2 when Micah is looting Sadie's house you can watch him and depending on the angle you're looking from he staches the items he picks on the opposite side of his belt area so you can't see the items disappearing since he doesn't have a satchel. This kind of care for the small detail is really fascinating to witness.
The Chad Duke of RE8, The Thad RE4 Merchant and the Lad Dickens
Of course Mr. West Dickens would never lie to John--he knows full well what that man's capable of doing to him if he ticks him off.
I love how while Nigel is throwing things out of the wagon, John starts to go for the apple on the ground and then changes his mind.
Having lived in Edinburgh for 4 years I can confirm that the undead do, indeed, roam there
Do you use a blunderbuss on them as well?
@@someguyparagon5273 your joking right the amount of hurdles you need to go through to get something that resembles a gun followed by a bias individual ignoring the process and saying no anyway

undead nightmare was an awesome expansion. Rockstar doesn’t realize the gains they could get from releasing an undead nightmare 2.
we can only hope and dream🤡
Rockstar used to make some of the best story expansions and it saddens me how they've given that up to pursue full focus on GTAO and RDO.
More like: "We can only WISH and dream"
Too bad it's impossible to finish, always the same mission where you go to a graveyard and you can't do the objective, infinite zombies spawn, non of my friends finished it either
@@prich0382 I never had many issues. I loved undead nightmare. the rare horses of the apocalypse were fun to try and collect. the challenges, the outfits. gaming used to be different.
I laughed so much at the dialogue of undead nightmare.
@@themadtitan7603 Well RDO is a more of an old dying car that they only very rarely put up for the most basic routine maintenance while GTO is (sadly) their money-making Ferrari LaFerrari.
So much potential squandered :/
What Nigel says is true tho. He never lies to you but he lies to others, he’s a con man. He isn’t dumb
Same energy as "Julian, this is a pirates' gun"
I guess that makes you Long John Dickweed Trevor.

As a Guts and blackpowder Fan.
That old man is saying the truth.

Do they hold up well for a rockstar game of the era yes.
Top notch? Oh f*ck no! Looks like something that you would see on a D.S lite
@@simonnachreiner8380 ds? Cmon,its not that bad
Wasn't there a fan who was working on that?
i think this is showing how fast the gun industry was progressing. in the 1800s we went from matchlock to flintlock to caplock to "action"s to automatic just by 1892. and now one of the worlds most popular handguns is a century old
And despite all that, shotguns still sucked, the Philippine-American War was notorious for how those paper cartridge shotgun shells were useless. That's why the US wanted a .45 sidearm as a backup, something with stopping power that wouldn't be so unreliable as a shotgun.
Dunno man, almost 100 years seems like a lot of time
Matchlocks would have been an anochronism even in the 1700's, let alone the 1800's. By the late 1600's everyone was going over to flintlocks. As for the transition from flintlock, to caplock, to smokeless and self contained cartridges and even the first automatics, yeah, that all happened in 50 years.
Might be nitpicking, but saying that they were using matchlocks in the 1800's is the same time difference as saying we used muzzle loaders in the 2000's.
If they were bad, why did they use them very effectively in ww1? a much, more advancedconflict@@Edax_Royeaux
@@Alguien644 Who used them effectively in WWI? All of one army in WWI on the Western Front used shotguns and only on recon patrols. Were shotguns used on the African theatre or something?
The blunderbuss.
The ONE THING West Dickens did right. XD
Undead Nightmare is arguably one of the best DLCs RockStar had ever made.
I liked the blunderbuss my opinion it was one of the best weapons in the game
I'm starting to think that was the point of this interaction
With the explosive Tank Gewehr Rifle to make up for long range and horde shredding.

A helluva lot more humour in these original games
I agree. RDR2 takes itself way too serious
@@JoaoPereira-jo7jv GAVIIIIIN
@@lauri4887 RDR uses very clever satire. The GAVIN one is cheap humor
It was safer back then to make jokes since the people who made the games weren't typical citizens but instead the outcasts that the rest of society ignored. Now in days, you can't make certain jokes without some greedy thief claiming to be offended and starting a mud-flinging hissy fit in order to get money from losers who want to feel like they're making the world a better place without doing any actual work(except that which was necessary to earn the money they threw away).
Once you realize that the average person will throw cash at people who claim to be fighting against bad things, you'll understand the problems of the modern world. People want to feel better about themselves without actually being good people. The guy who donates $100 to an activist flipping out over the portrayal of black men in video games can feel better about himself when he dials 911 the moment he sees a black man walking on the sidewalk outside his home in the gated community.
“To other I occasionally admit to the sin of omission, but never to you dear boy.” = I’ll sometimes tell others when I’m lying but never you lol
I think he's trying to say that he admits lying to others but not to John
He is saying he sometimes doesn't tell people the whole truth (aka omission aka lying) but never to John
"Would I lie to you, John? To others, I admit the occasional sin of ommision, but to you, never dear boy." Another definition for admit is to permit something. So to others he permits to lie occasionally but never to John.
He comes from the same breed as Hosea and Dutch. They like to talk all fancy but it doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about

I remember my friend and I buying RDR one year on Black Friday. We took it back to her house and played it for fucking hours at night. We would take turns when we would die. I swear those are some of the best memories.
absolutely LOVE the transparent shading error box over John's coat at 1:48 lol
Man. Remember when Rockstar actually use to make quality content and not a recycled game with yellow license plates!
Stop hating gta 5, I want to buy the same game except with yellow license plates for $60.
WAIT THEY HAVE YELLOW LICENSE PLATES NOW
The yellow license plates is Rockstar's way of pissing on the game like nothing. It just goes to show to see how far the Rockstar Empire has fallen.
@@unlightings let's fuhk. Let's face it, we all could use a good fuhk n cuhm.
Most importantly to the video, when they used to make solid story expansions rather focus all the DLC on GTA Online.
The zombie craze back then was crazy.
Red dead even joined in
I remember it well, I remember zombie knives, zombie ammo, zombie merchandise etc. The early 2010s were something else.
I know I'm not the only one who became a fan by playing RDR1 in 2010, but I can't stop feeling that I'm the only one.
I played the trilogy, and for me, RDR1 is still the best one.
You are not. This game and Arkham City sold the 360 for me
RDR2 was fine but the first one will always be the best.
@@nightfall1826 RDR2 is a better VIDEO game while RDR1 is a better video GAME.
I can perfectly understand preferring RDR1 since the gameplay is more fun and for me, that's what matters most.
i really love this game. I’m sad Rockstar broke this DLC and never bothered to fix it
Are you talkin about the Headless Zombie Glitch where half of their bodies gone?

This is why we need a Red Dead game that is set in the 1860s.
Underrated expansion....and heavily needed legit as an expansion in RDR2 from Rockstar themselves....was such an interesting idea, and it worked so well.
Giving a man in 1911 a blunderbuss is like giving a man in 2024 a musket
A model 1777 flintlock musket more or less
I still can't get over how cool and undead nightmare was, like who the fuck saw that coming?
They need undead in rdr 2
Not even Rob Wiethoff saw it coming. It was a huge surprise for him
"I risked my life for this? A barn? Is this a joke? What is this? 1785?"
1850? More like 1650...
"O ye of such little faith"
Didn't know he was once part of Dutch's gang too
Also that time he accepted quests from what was probably the Devil
The amount of times I replayed RDR1 back then..makes me feel old-
As much as I like rd2 graphics, I miss rd1 artstyle. Gives it a timeless look.
0:19 John predicted undead nightmare
Funny you should say that...
“A blunderbuss? Is that a joke?”
Blunderbuss: “and I took that personally…”
"A 50$ port? Are you kidding me!? What year is it? 1984?"
Somewhere, out there, is a zombified Arthur Morgan.
Now that's an apocalypse in itself.

1:20 South Park reference
Its funny how in this game John seams like a strong willed man, and then in RDR2 he is like a punching bag until the end
This was my first exposure to Red Dead having to knowledge to it prior to playing this. I had no idea Nigel and Bonnie had such a history with John. Great game good memories.
Average Sea of Thieves cutlass and pistol user when they see a blunderbuss user:
"you've got the compassion of a mass murderer and the intellect of a cow pattie", saving that for a rainy day
