Good luck even GETTING a gun in most D&D games. "Guns don't belong in fantasy!" Yup, no guns in any Grimm bros. fairy tales. No guns in Warhammer Fantasy. The Steampunk genre doesn't exist. There aren't several D&D settings that are actually RENAISSANCE, not medieval. I'm not sarcastic or upset about this at all.
@@NieroshaiTheSable To be fair, steampunk is strictly speaking based on Victorian era technology. Trains, engines, electricity. Not exactly what most people think of when they hear "fantasy". When someone says D&D, they're probably thinking Forgotten Realms. When someone says fantasy, they're probably thinking Middle Earth. Medieval style settings that don't need technology because they have magic instead. Any setting can be turned into a fantasy setting by adding fantastical elements, so it's important to specify what kind of setting it's actually supposed to be beyond just "fantasy". Otherwise people will default into imagining one without any trace of remotely modern technology, because that's the most common.
Just imagine the grudge to actually go, get up and commision a double trigger voley gun with an actual engraving that says: "Perdition to conspirators".
In gold damascene no less. Just the act of writing that massively increased the cost of the gun. A plain engraving would have been fairly cheap in comparison.

The imagination and ingenuity of some gunsmiths is just astonishing. If i had seen this in a movie, game or read about it in a novel I would dismiss it as pure fiction. Once again my perception of reality is tested.

I'd love to see the patterning of those barrel clusters at different ranges, it's probably a lot more effective than one would think. If the barrels were aligned right that thing would lay down one hell of a deadly shot pattern (it's essentially a shotgun with the accuracy of a rifle lol) out to surprising ranges I would imagine. Would also be cool to see slow motion footage of a shot into ballistic gel, close enough where the shot pattern matches the barrels. The shockwave interference would be awesome to see...
Volley guns were indeed produced at some point as a sort of "single shot shotgun" - dedicated to hunting. Six or seven small-caliber barrels loaded from the breech with something not unlike full-moon clips, and used as you would a shotgun... with the fact that it'll likely have far less spread due to the individual rifled barrels.
I assumed it was a visual indicator of spread so you could bracket a target (like a flock of ducks) before firing, but then I remembered the barrels were rifled and probably had a very tight grouping.

Stuff like this is what convinces me that the founding fathers totally would have had personal miniguns and full-auto thousand round assault rifles if the tech had been around. It was never question of "how much firepower is too much firepower?", but "how much firepower can I afford?"
Lewis and Clark took a Girardoni air rifle with them. This was an air gun used by the Austrian army (I think specifically the calvary) between 1780 to about 1820. The Girardoni looked like a normal flintlock rifle but could fire 16 to 20 before reloading. The problem was/is that you're never going to get the same amount of power with air that you can with gunpowder.
@@RobsRobotChannel He wants to say that the left barking "ah, now guns are too dangerous, if the founding fathers could see this they would not pass the 2A" is total nonsense bullsh!t
That is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I can absolutely understand why they probably wouldn't let Ian take it apart and do the barrel swap for us. Still, I'd have loved to see it. Truly gorgeous metal and woodwork Thanks for sharing this with us, Gun Jesus.
This is what happens when you have servants to load and clean your weapons. "Jethro is it ready yet?" "Almost mlord, almost...." "The conspirators are getting away!"
The quality of that gun is exceptional. The second stock is so beautiful. This is a weapon that needs to be modeled into a game or something. What a fantastic piece.
Soooooooo you found an english-speaking guy, apparently quite the francophile, and also interested in bizarre firearms. Did you just find 18th-century Ian?
It's interesting how, today, you'll never see something with this much workmanship and personality with a company logo; a concept that possibly itself changed.
Consequence of endlessly chasing profits over absolutely everything else. No more room for passion, no more room for doing things proper, no more room for creative ventures for the sake of creativity alone.
Ah yes,under the Pieper volley rifle someone asked:" why don't we make a double barrel version of it"? Now i see he wasn't the first one to think about it. Now i wonder if it can be made in 20 gauge.
I think the point of these guns is to fire a lot of small caliber bullets in approximately a circle, whereas anything bigger would run the risk of rupturing or being too heavy to handle
Roborough is a place just north of the current city limit of Plymouth in Devon, as you go up the A386 onto Dartmoor. It's very close to Buckland Abbey, where Sir Francis Drake lived.
"I say, old sports! Have you had quite enough yet, or shall I issue a second volley?" "That's quite alright, good sir! There were only nine of we highwaymen to begin with, and I'm afraid only myself and dear Archibald are left of the lot. The rest, I fear, have been put rather out of sorts. We'll just gather our kit and make another go of it on the morrow, shall we?" "Good show, my lads! Stiff upper lip, and all that. Better fortunes next time, ey wot? Chip chip!"
Oh it is even better than that. Seems the "mutiny", which I'm sure in Thornton's eyes it was, consisted of him being forced to resign his commission after facing a court-martial instigated by fellow officers. The reason for this, during a muster at Roborough Camp near Plymouth his men pulled him around in his carriage while cheering for him. It seems Thornton put this incident down to jealousy on the part of the officers and a personal vendetta the Commander in Chief, the Duke of York, had against him. Now as for his being a Francophile, during the 1 year peace between Britain and France in 1802 he personally presented expensive pistols to one Napoleon Bonaparte, and it was during this time he made his "sporting trip through France" that he wrote about. The Napoleonic Wars started the next year but even before that ended he had returned to France on another sporting trip and as soon as the war ended he moved to France.
As beautiful as it is fearsome! Definitely one of those videos that just gets cooler the longer it goes on. By the time it got to the ‘speed loader’ and 7 barrel conversion stock, I knew this was going to be one of my favourites.
I need this gun in g&b Ideas to make it fit on the game better: Less damage, from 250 per bullet to 100 Reload time, 25s Because of the barrel, it has more accuracy Because of the grip, it has more accuracy
The Colonel's arrived with a firing squad! 'But there are no other troops with him' Ahh... I see...better run and fetch the mops and buckets private...the conspirators have just booked one way tickets to Perdition!
This is just about the single coolest... thing that you've ever had on your channel. The ingenuity and the story make for an absolutely fascinating video. Cheers! "Perdition to Conspirators!"
Image 'Whisky in the Jar' with the lines "For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with 28 barrels, yeah"...
You missed a letter on the second stock, it's barely visible, but at the very end there is an "A". You can see it in the reflection at the very beginning of 6:53 (frame by frame is advised). What is written in French on the second stock is "LA VERITE GAGNERA" which would translate to "TRUTH WILL PREVAIL". Maybe another reference to the mutiny and the expression of the officer's bitterness towards the shade this event might have cast on his reputation ? Hard to know without more detail on his life.

I wonder how much it would weight if he incorporated Chambers technology into this ? Wow 14 barrels 7 discharges per barrel . My shoulder aches just thinking about it
@Paul Alexander Hence, "long range shotgun"
Stuff like this is what convinces me that the founding fathers totally would have had personal miniguns and full-auto thousand round assault rifles if the tech had been around. It was never question of "how much firepower is too much firepower?", but "how much firepower can I afford?"
What kind of "revelation" is that? OF COURSE you're going to use the most powerful weapon you can... History was never affected by this...
Lewis and Clark took a Girardoni air rifle with them. This was an air gun used by the Austrian army (I think specifically the calvary) between 1780 to about 1820. The Girardoni looked like a normal flintlock rifle but could fire 16 to 20 before reloading. The problem was/is that you're never going to get the same amount of power with air that you can with gunpowder.
@@RobsRobotChannel Yeah, history was never affected by a bunch of radicals getting high-grade military weapons; Nope, never...
@@RobsRobotChannel He wants to say that the left barking "ah, now guns are too dangerous, if the founding fathers could see this they would not pass the 2A" is total nonsense bullsh!t
Exactly.
That is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I can absolutely understand why they probably wouldn't let Ian take it apart and do the barrel swap for us. Still, I'd have loved to see it. Truly gorgeous metal and woodwork
Thanks for sharing this with us, Gun Jesus.
I'd like to see it fired!
@@petesheppard1709 Far too pretty to fire something like this. There are plenty of more generic nock volley guns
This is what happens when you have servants to load and clean your weapons.
"Jethro is it ready yet?"
"Almost mlord, almost...."
"The conspirators are getting away!"
It's probably one of the servants who invented the double barrel blunderbuss.
Or
"Bartholomew is my iron slinger ready yet?"
"No your majesty, not yet"
"Their almost into the kings chambers"
This rifle is absolutely amazing! I'm a fan of crazy overkill guns like this.
I wonder how many Victorian Gentlemen fell for the "I bet you are far to dandy to fire all 14 barrels at once" comment.
"Give up, scoundrel, 14 barrels are aimed at you!"
"But you are alone!"
"What?"
"What??"
The quality of that gun is exceptional. The second stock is so beautiful. This is a weapon that needs to be modeled into a game or something. What a fantastic piece.
"Bobby give me double barrel "
"Don t move, i have better"

Soooooooo you found an english-speaking guy, apparently quite the francophile, and also interested in bizarre firearms.
Did you just find 18th-century Ian?
Nah, that was just his previous life.

What a beautiful, beautiful gun. An amazing amount of craftsmanship, alongside an amazing amount of engineering. Absolutely gorgeous.
There is a period action movie waiting to be made with that gun.
The movie is 3 hours. The gun is fired twice during that time.

It's interesting how, today, you'll never see something with this much workmanship and personality with a company logo; a concept that possibly itself changed.
Consequence of endlessly chasing profits over absolutely everything else. No more room for passion, no more room for doing things proper, no more room for creative ventures for the sake of creativity alone.
Ah yes,under the Pieper volley rifle someone asked:" why don't we make a double barrel version of it"?
Now i see he wasn't the first one to think about it.
Now i wonder if it can be made in 20 gauge.
🤐 On your shoulder be it 💥😫
I think the point of these guns is to fire a lot of small caliber bullets in approximately a circle, whereas anything bigger would run the risk of rupturing or being too heavy to handle
This is in squirrel rifle caliber. A modern equivalent would actually be .22lr. 20 ga would be unmanageable.
@@jeffreyroot6300 he said it was roughly .30 cal. You must have some monster rodents if that's your squirrel gun lol
There is no kill like overkill.
Gotta love that tacticool flintlock frontgrip

You can even tell how the barrels were forge welded. This thing is awesome.
A foregrip in 1800. Tacticool before it was cool...
Fantastic stuff Ian, thank you!
Pretty sure it was actually necessary to even hold the gun
Me: I wonder why his men revolted
'...he was quite the Francophile.'
Ah.
Poor Frank ☹️
@@flyde6521lol
Oh it is even better than that.
Seems the "mutiny", which I'm sure in Thornton's eyes it was, consisted of him being forced to resign his commission after facing a court-martial instigated by fellow officers. The reason for this, during a muster at Roborough Camp near Plymouth his men pulled him around in his carriage while cheering for him. It seems Thornton put this incident down to jealousy on the part of the officers and a personal vendetta the Commander in Chief, the Duke of York, had against him.
Now as for his being a Francophile, during the 1 year peace between Britain and France in 1802 he personally presented expensive pistols to one Napoleon Bonaparte, and it was during this time he made his "sporting trip through France" that he wrote about. The Napoleonic Wars started the next year but even before that ended he had returned to France on another sporting trip and as soon as the war ended he moved to France.
Whats that
tristanbistan3 A Francophile is someone who really likes France and French culture.
This reminds me of a multiple barrel flint lock pistol my grandfather had on his wall
"I say, lads," the mutineer shouted to his thirteen bloodied and perforated comrades, "we've been Duped!"
As beautiful as it is fearsome!
Definitely one of those videos that just gets cooler the longer it goes on. By the time it got to the ‘speed loader’ and 7 barrel conversion stock, I knew this was going to be one of my favourites.
I need this gun in g&b
Ideas to make it fit on the game better:
Less damage, from 250 per bullet to 100
Reload time, 25s
Because of the barrel, it has more accuracy
Because of the grip, it has more accuracy
That vertical front grip surprised me, I didn’t know they made grips like that back in the early 1800’s!🤔👍
banned in California
You'd think the founding fathers would have banned this assault weapon if they weren't child killers.

Imagine looking at the Nock gun and thinking, "Nah, not big enough."
That is truly incredible and an amazing example of craftsmanship. I’m going out on a limb and thinking I’m 99.9% sure I can’t afford it.
This would probably fetch as much as a house if it were ever to go to auction.
It seems to be one of a kind so pretty sure nobody can afford it
@@Orcinus24x5 Probably a large house in downtown LA.
Me neither.
Speaking of limbs, it costs an arm and a leg, the leg to purchase, the arm being removed upon first firing.
they should add this in guts and blackpowder
“Would you like a shotgun?”
“No thanks, I have my rifle.”
"I'm about to end this man's shoulder"
They really said “let’s take two nock valley guns and fest them together and call it a flintlock”
"So how many barrels should we put on this bad boy?"
"Yes"
its always interesting to see these volley rifle, such a weird design that kind of actually went somewhere
Steve Campbell It’s a volley gun rifle, effective at much greater ranges.

14-Barrel Flintlock. When Terminator was teleported in Liege , 1795.
You missed a letter on the second stock, it's barely visible, but at the very end there is an "A". You can see it in the reflection at the very beginning of 6:53 (frame by frame is advised).
What is written in French on the second stock is "LA VERITE GAGNERA" which would translate to "TRUTH WILL PREVAIL".
Maybe another reference to the mutiny and the expression of the officer's bitterness towards the shade this event might have cast on his reputation ? Hard to know without more detail on his life.
