Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.bbtv.com/c...
Manufactured from 1899 until 1905, the Charola y Anitua pistols (later becoming just the Charola pistols) were basically scaled down C96 Mauser designs chambered for the 5mm Clement and 7mm Charola cartridges. They were briefly tested by the Spanish military, but not adopted and ultimately only sold on the commercial market. A total of about 8400 were made, probably split about 50/50 between the two calibers. By the end of production they were made with detachable magazines in the hopes of competing with the other guns then available, but with their rather bulky ergonomics and underpowered ammunition they would not survive long.

With the markings just being patent, trademark, and best shooting pistol I would have expected it to come from a place call Totally Legitimate Business.
*ENORMOUS REPEATING FIREPOWER*
Eeeeeety bitty cartridge
When I read this, I heard the voice of Robin Williams in my head.
For when you want a broomhandle, but only have a dustpan.
*Fire Place Guy*: So how many pistols do you want to video?
*Ian*: Yes.
Can we get a Q&A with Fireplace Guy? His collection is spectacular!
I second this sentiment.
Third it must happen now
I have a sneaky suspicion that Ian is probably related to the fireplace guy.
Could Fireplace Guy possibly be Bill Chase? Or did Ian just happen to interview him in front of someone elses fireplace? ruclips.net/video/fSp3K42YR2U/видео.html
@@platypush I was pretty sure seeing an interview in front of this fireplace, it actually may be that guy, thx for the link. Anyway, collection is absolutely amazing, I can't imagine how long it took to collect such a rare pieces.
Damn, that fireplace guy really has extensive collection.
my first thought too
That may be Ian's own fireplace. I half expect his butler, Alfred, to lean in at any time and whisper, "Sir, the GunJesus signal has been illuminated and Commissioner Karl is on the hotline."
That's not a fireplace 😉

@@PsychoDad89 I wonder what would be the gatmobile, Daimler armoured car perhaps?
Huh, tiny broomhandles. I wonder how tiny.
*click*
Well damn.
Well damn, and here I thought the .25 was the main 'mouse gun' caliber. ;-)
This is the perfect gun for those rainy/lazy days, when you want do some plinking but dont bother to leave your living room.
"Best Shooting Pistol" One of the original stamps of hubris. Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work.
"Is best shooting pistol! For you my friend, I give nice special price!"
Marca registrada means registered trademark
Locked beech, short recoil 5mm? Talk about overkill.
Could be worse, it could be long recoil. (Hello, Frommer Stop!)
I just have to say that I love to hear Ian struggling so bad with spanish names.... makes me feel a little less bad about my english accent XDDDDDDD.
Great video, as always. These pistols aren't very well known at all but I always found them fascinating. Specially it fascinates me how it could be that any guy in the business of making firearms could think that making rather big pistols that shot that tiny 5mm firecracker would lead to any kind of long term success. They had a locked breech system (?????), for crying out loud.
As far as I know the 5mm versions were presented in the spanish pistol trials...alongside Lugers, C-96s and Bergmans. If anything...they were optimists, that's for sure XDDD.
I like stripper-clip fed firearms, especially pistols. They're just so cool.
Something about that 6-round 5mm stripper clip is just really neat to me. Also, yeah, stripper-clip fed sidearms are certainly unique haha
Hell yeah, son! This is the 'Forgotten Weapons' I signed up for so long ago. All the other stuff is great too, just sayin'.
Their new marketing campaign will feature the song, "I Charola" by a Knack cover band.
The mysterious fireplace collection strikes again.
5mm is the perfect ccw gun for squirrels, you can't trust squirrels.
Best Shooting Gun?
You know, Ian, this means you must take it out to the range to test this claim.
Seeing these old style pistols makes me happier with todays products :) Thanks Ian!
Ken Helmers unless its a 1911 , wouldnt trade my 1911 for anything
You should be careful if you have one of those. If you shoot someone with it, and they find out about it, they might get upset! ;-)
But for real, If guy youre shooting at has a heavy coat it would probably only pierce the skin, and even that if youre closer than 10 m (1 yard is 0.9 meters).
6:03 I finally found the best shooting pistol! Muchas gracias, mi amigo!
Normally nobody says "mi" we say amigo mío (my friend or friend mine) or just amigo (friend). n.n
@@Pokesus Thanks, friend-o.

Forgotten Weapons - Where Gunshow Meets Freakshow. :)
Brilliant stuff, Ian. I learn something new every time. These are neat little devices and I had no idea they existed.
If you can make good copies of the Merwin & Hulbert revolver it means you must have good tooling and good workers because those things require PERFECTION. So i assume these guns must have a good finish and polish.
but its Spanish.
@P-Talks I mean...um...
Finnish and Polish.
@@spyj1900 >:(
Amazing what you can do with just flat springs.
In my early 20s I took an early Colt Woodsman apart to clean it for the first time in the 50 years my buddy's Dad had had it. Disassembled, cleaned and lubed it in military fashion - all was well. I had it all assembled except the magazine catch in the butt of the grip - and noticed the slide, safety and trigger were completely non-functional. Spent an hour looking through ankle-deep shag carpeting for the missing springs. Nothing. Finally I apologized to my buddy for losing parts off his Dad's Pride and Joy and said I wasn't a mechanical genius after all - that I was just going to have to give it back to him broken. I insisted he take it to a real gunsmith and have it fixed and I would pay the bill. Very Well, he said. With that I said I would push in the magazine catch, put it back in its soft case and he could be on his way.
*LO AND BEHOLD THE DAMN THING FUNCTIONED P E R F E C T L Y. JOHN BROWNING MADE AN AUTOPISTOL WHEREIN ONE LENGTHY FLAT SPRING WAS MAGAZINE CATCH, SLIDE RECOIL SPRING, HAMMER SPRING, TRIGGER RETURN SPRING A N D SAFETY CATCH DETENT SPRING.*
Had I not been a sturdy young man of 22 - I would have fainted !
I didn't but I still remain humble in my claims of understanding machine design...
Always awesome to see more products of our wonderful province of Guipuzcoa! Fun to see Ian struggling with the pronunciation too.
Ah, the perfect gun for shooting cheaters under a card table. I presume the 7 was for pool tables.
A cute, fancy, neat little gun! Great video!
Char-ola anee-tooa
“Marca registrada” translates as “Registered brand”
Best channel on RUclips. Never stop making videos.
A 5mm had enough recoil impulse to cycle the action is amazing? That's approximately 19.5 caliber!
@@TheRealColBosch I had a .177 pellet CO2 pistol that had a helical magazine in the slide, and used the gas pressure to cycle a cam block and mechanically actuate the magazine follower. Unreliable as all get out.
This little gun in 25acp would be amazing to put in my collection.
smol...must be protected
Very smow
Almost looks and works like an intermediate between a C96 and a Nambu, at least as far as the locking system goes.
"this prevents it from being a machine gun"
I'm getting ideas
@@TheRealColBosch if you can only do small ouchies
make them quick
make a lot of them
that's the idea
5mm Clement would be surprisingly suitable for a machine pistol like this. I like the idea.
Fireplace Collection = Best Collection
There's a lot of work gone into making the parts, getting the right heat treat for each of those springs and transfer bar probably wasn't a doddle
Their more like "feather duster handles"
Ian mentioned Bergmann. Ah, I miss the Forgotten Bergmanns. Hehehe...
Don't you mean (Never) Forgotten Bergmonth?
coming soon to a firefly cosplay near you
Aww, they are so cute. I want one. :) His mistake, I think, was in not making them in .22 Long and .32acp.
Didn't exist when these were first made. At least not 32
Clearly meant for hunting Dust Bunnies
I would love to see Ian model an at rest and at the ready firing position with all these unique firearms. We have such great insight to the form and function of these forgotten weapons but displayed only on a table I find myself wondering how the weapons would look when brought to bear.
Hope everyone reading this has an amazing day, I got exams so wish me luck. Have a great day everyone.
Thanks, and good luck.
Good Luck, We’re all counting on you.
good luck (although if you require luck to succeed in exams there is something wrong with your preparation).
@@BaronSamedi1959 you are correct, but I'm pretty sure I aced it. Thank you all for the wishes.
So, how'd it go?
TINY BROOMHANDLES!
Schnellfeuer? More like smolfeuer.
Kampffeuer. Nicht zo?
"it has a spring like the c96" **surprised pikachu face**
i always find it strangely amusing when a pistol firing a really underpowered cartridge has a locking breech mechanism. gotta make sure the gun is mechanically capable of absorbing that colossal 80J of recoil energy.
Each video from Fireplace Guy makes me understand more and more why he wishes to keep his anonymity.
I don't usually like making comparisons with guns from videogames, but these things look pretty much spot on for being the inspiration of the Lolife from Metro Last Light!
Wasn't the lowlife and the same pistols in Metro based on Mauser broomhandles?
@@issackliener3065
It still looks in a lot of ways like these Spanish handguns, the grips of the Lolife look nothing like the ones of the C96.
Webley & Scott: "We'd like a word about the 'winged bullet'".
Charola y Anitua: "Why, it's a trademark?"
W&S: "Yes, but it's not your trademark!".
Fun fact: 5mm Clement pistol was adopted by military. Of all places, in Siam (Thailand).
@Magnum445. Well small gunz for small people. (At the time) makes sense
@@therealamerican99.76 that and the fact that military pistols were probably considered to have mostly decorative purpose for officers.
Ahh true!
@@nindger4270 Decorative purposes.... I love it.... summary execution tool in close quarters is a black truth as opposed to a white lie :P
@Michael Tarvin. Well until a few years ago, Thailand used a fixed mounted heavy machine gun as their weapon of choice to execute the death penalty. They surely upgraded the bullet size.
Looks like a .22 with M&H scales on the grips. Interesting looking pistol.
They look quite functional, if a little fragile with it. Cute!
Love the Charola Anitua such an artisan pistol could only come from Spain , every thing hand fitted y bet no pieces could be interchange between those models , Spanish gun makers guilds worked like this ,litle shops made parts for a larger shop that fitted and assembled them to a certain standard , thats why there is a sloom out of diferent ruby pistols and brands of clones of browning and smith&wesson or colt revolvers , also the legal sistem in spain was not involved in protection of international patents if the original patent holder did not produce its manufacture in Spain , so any shop could produce any clone in theese law terms .you can fill entire walls colecting Spanish clone guns, in contrast the Charola Anitua is quite a original aproach to the theme of the broomhandle Mauser .
I love the look.
Thank you , Ian .
Very interesting pistols Ian. Thanks for showing them Sir.
Ah 5mm too anemic, so let's make a "big bore" of ... Wait for it ... 7mm. Ah, those Europeans. 😉
Broom handle CCW
Thank you for including the book recommendation.
Charola - ch sounds like the same as chalk, an 'a' sound like in apple, rol sound like roll and another 'a' sound like apple.
Anitua - 'a' sound like apple (sorry but I'm no teacher so that's why I repeat this one a lot though my Spanish is fluent), ni sound like in nimble, tu sound like in the word to, a sound like apple. So aniTO-A not anichoa like Ian said hehe.
Hope this helps you folks get to know the correcr way of saying these two words :)
Btw funny to see how one gun has marca registrada and Ian says is domestics use and then the literal translation on other with trademark and he says it means export. Like yeah is export since it is english which is more universal but come on the guns even tell you the answer lol
The “A knee chew her” is quite painful to listen to 😕
@@vacomments indeed
Somewhere in the world, there's some eccentric billionaire collector who owns the more rare models with "Best Whipping Pistol" engraved up top.
It would be real cool if someone took the blueprints or measurements from a disassembled example of these antique guns and machined their own to shoot. That way people can see how these old guns perform without worrying about ruining an original one.
I’ve been waiting for this video my whole existence.
I dont know who's fireplace that is, but he has a really cool collection.
5:14 sounds like a great song.
When I saw the thumbnail and read “Charola y Anitua” I thought you were just looking at two specific guns someone had named that.
Shooting competition with 7 mm Nambu. Is the 7 mm Spanish round a straight wall cartridge case.? A blown out 5mm Clement...? Interesting.
Lovely small pistols!
Bloody hell these things are super over-complicated.
Yall just enjoy the rest of your day with My Sharona stuck in your head but instead it's I. Cahrola
9 Coronas?
@@rogerjohnson8707 That's a considerable amount of beer!
It's the first RUclips video I saw many years ago. Check it out.
I didn't knew about those; great!.
8:29 That type of fastener is called a "sex bolt" or a "Chicago screw." Sex bolt is more fun to say.
Wow! Three advertisements! On this video!
Wouldn't the underpowered cartridge be appealing to a civilian buyer, for the lower recoil (less practice to overcome it etc)? Plus you wouldn't reasonably be expected to snipe with it...
@Thomas Lawrie put it in a video game and there would def be that one guy.... fudgin camper😂
slave pins from the opposite side would ease reassembly
Hey the Lolife from Last Light.
Exactly what I thought!
I'm pretty damn sure that the developers took inspiration from it
A locked breech in 5mm Clement may be utterly unnecessary though it's completely cool.
Hey man, would be cool a video about the Brazilian Imbel AGLC sniper rifle.
@@TheRealColBosch no, infortunately :(
@@TheRealColBosch it's because is a rare weapon, produced in small quantities and used only by the "hunters" in the Brazilian Army.
There is also the Mosquefal, a modified Gewehr 98 (not a K 98k) converted to fire 7.62x51mm, and added a FN FAL barrel, muzzle break and H&K style iron sights, they are used for training in the army, in small town military bases (i'm serving in one). The modifications where made in 1960's.
Pequeña Pistolas!
¡Pistolas pequeñas! 😉
Makes sense that after first guy went away they kept putting his name too under the "sistema" as the redesign was done by both but produced by only one
Is it just me who started to hum "My Sharona" by the Knack when he read out 'I Charola' at 5:12?
Marca registrada means trademark, it's like putting ©
That could be in the running for The Mandalorians new weapon .
So glad they bothered to make it locked breach. I mean all that power if it was just blowback it might be a little snappy all that recoil can you just imagine
Sexy things between Ruger MK1 and Mauser, someone should make new version in .22LR now
Pulverin My thought exactly! With 22 minimags or stinger it would be great fun.
Slemke 98 Trouble is the costs involved for setting up tooling. They know that the Stg43/44 and MP40 have a huge fanbase so it was a pretty safe investment. Making a run of these little things for a few thousand weirdos like me isn’t financially viable especially if they want to sell at an affordable price.
@@thebotrchap plus getting 22 to cycle reliably is a very big challenge even in modern firearms. Imagine trying that with not so great designs lol
KennyCnotG True, although in this case it would be simple enough to convert the design to simple blowback.
GSG convert blank gun in 22lr, with that they can sell more rifle easily for reacting or country where you cant get real
I Charola is a pretty good stand-in for My Sharona
Imagine making that in .22lr
Yes. Because locked breach 5mm. I understand that this pistol was made very early in the whole developmental era of semiautomatic pistols, but yes; locked breach 5mm.
looks like a mix of the C96 with the Berggman pistol, a nambu, and a luger as well
Yes, but never made it past puberty.
"assuming it needed to be tighten" well or assuming the guy didn't knew much but still tightened any posible screw XD
Was that detachable mag a double stack? Pretty early for that I think?
My Charola dun dun dun! dun dun, dun!
I dunno if this was ever talked about or asked before, but there's a firearm that isn't quite talked about nor I have seen discussed; the Benelli CB M2.
Not quite sure if it was talked about on Forgotten Weapons or if there was a video based on it.
Gotten : I was wondering if you could show us how burst fire works on Military Rifles such as the M4 (2 for that, 3 on some other guns) can you show us the firing mechanism or seer that enables this. I have always been fascinated with this. Bonjour mes ami
I guess a person could use one of these 5mm pistols if they had a mosquito problem?
Still pretty cool.
Apparently they didn't know sh!t from Charola when it came to effective handgun cartridges😂😂😂
A lot of these tiny weak handgun cartridges come from the fact that the most likely defensive scenario in Europe back then was not against a human attacker, but a stray dog with rabies.
The only time I’ve ever seen this gun in media is from the manga: KochiKame
Almost gargled reading spanish 😂
Nice to see the ammo
