As gorgeous as these are, can you just imagine what they looked like when they were brand new?

[@rayfoster6980]

In the 50s my twin brother and I used to play ‘dueling’ with our muzzle loading percussion pistols that fired a cork ball propelled by a ‘Greenie stickum cap’ . Great Fun

[@ronybiswas5324]

I am a air gun / rifle lover, this unique, so many thanks to you for showing the history of air gun

[@loveamericanstyle9287]

Air guns deserve to be this exquisitely made at some level ,quite an impressive collection, thank you

[@gregmcb5305]

Honestly a lot of these older designs are better than some of the new ones!

[@seahorseist]

Excellent video what a wonderful collection the workmanship on these air guns is amazing

[@sandyt4343]

Wow that was an amazing and interesting view of a type of armaments that I thought had only existed in one or two models . I was badly mistaken. The workmanship is phenomenal

Beautiful guns, specially the first long one showed!

[@briangarrison1323]

Awsome!!!!!

[@kitsune5558]

Wish there were more information on air guns, so far the only one I can find is the Girardoni gun, and I wish to know more about them, particularly early models

[@corstafine]

Just beautiful...although it still makes me smile when I see people comment that springers need to move aside for newer tech pcp.

[@thuanlehuy4977]

If they are airguns, should we call them "airarms" instead of "firearms"?

[@emeralddragongaming2930]

True

[@africanelephant2221]

[@victorrhone6785]

Very nice video. Thank you

[@stanleyscriven5353]

I would love to collect and buy those

[@Crazycoyote-we7ey]

HOLY.. A GIRODINI AIR PISTOL!!!!

[@benmayne6159]

extremely interesting 🧐👍, i do wish that you had gone more into the history, manufacturers dates, calibres, loading process and numbers constructed. I know i might be splitting hairs, but today we call these air guns (not firearms) but when these were made they were known/ called “wind guns” in fact.

[@jrsoto1000]

Alright alright I’ll step up and lay the first bid $2 🙌

[@justinfletcher7630]

Super curious to the pressures these things could produce

[@emmanuelquinones6421]

Waxball in a very cold day would probably hurt very much i say and depends on the caliber also

[@blightcraftgamma]

That opening piano piece was rather nice. What was it?

[@mafirearmsafety]

The only reason I can think of as to why these were not wildly popular would be the downside of 1500 pumps to charge it again. But the capability of 22 shots of .46 caliber balls should have been the upside. It’s an amazing rifle considering the time it was in use. Thanks for sharing this.

[@karlmarx9413]

Bates. The master.

[@fontuckygamer5353]

I have a plethora of real firearms, but I lack in the air gun collection. I only have about 6.

[@emmanuelquinones6421]

I would like to know how much is the price of each one as he would starts to grab each one

[@darnacb]

Colonel Sebastian "Tiger" Moran approves...

[@langeblauwe]

Yup, that's a beautiful air-reservwior on your firearm there buddy.

[@ChuckVorheis]

u care stay true

[@HD-ph1dc]

Where did they load the springers at, its obvious they were not muzzle loaders (no ramrods)??

[@benmayne6159]

if you look 👀 really closely you can just see the outline of the up and down breach block on the top that would work off the little ball ended handle on the under side 2/3 to the front right where you would normally find the ramrod. it works just like a bot action that just lift’s the breach up, locks so you can load the breach and is spring loaded to hold the breach in the fire position once released.

[@johnyarbrough635]

Please, stop saying firearm. Us that cannot have firearms would appreciate the distinction.

[@heyman8308]

first

[@martdod]

To be concise, Airguns are not firearms! Wish you would stop calling them ‘firearms’. You of all people should know better.

[@rahowherox1177]

Lol. Firearms also aren't firearms... At least since they stopped using fire for ignition of explosion... IE before flint ignition.

[@54321Truth]

@@rahowherox1177 They still use explosives and a spark.

[@josephledux8598]

Legally and scientifically speaking, there are no "firearms" in this video despite the statements of the presenter. "Firearm" has a very specific meaning in the law and in technical conversation. Simply stated, if there is no "fire" then there is no firearm. Please oh please don't get into the habit of calling any airguns "firearms" no matter how or when manufactured or how they look. One thing we airgun enthusiasts like about them is the near-total dearth of legal restrictions on possessing and using airguns and that results from their not being "firearms" in any way. Let's please not tempt the powers that be into treating them the same. Please. Rifle, yes. Pistol, yes. Weapon, yes, gun, yes. But firearms? NO! "Weapon" is a term that serves perfectly well and has the virtue of being actually correct. Please use it instead of "firearm."
