Other reasons for shortening the barrel of a coach gun were to be more maneuverable when the bandits were on the side of the stage driver, and to make it easier to bring the shotgun into play quicker.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I have read that.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

Actually, the firearm used in that scene from Pirates of the Caribbean is not a shotgun, or even a blunderbuss. That is what is known as a "hand mortar", a firearm used to lob cast iron black powder grenades.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Cool. Did it really have that kind of recoil?

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

@@ArizonaGhostriders yes.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

@Arizona Ghostriders No, not even close.

[@MrEvilTag]

@@Devin_Stromgren if you're a midget that weighs 60 pounds or so it does

[@Devin_Stromgren]

@Dante P Any firearm with the power to send a 60lb midget flying would also be powerful enough to break a normal sized person's shoulder when fired.

[@sulaco2122]

Interesting historical “fact” allegedly Black Bart’s double barrel was never loaded. He had a grudge against the stage coach line and was getting money and revenge but didn’t want to hurt anyone.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yep. He was a smart man. With the exception of accidentally leaving a laundry ticket at the scene which is what got him caught.

@@neb4587 yes

[@JohnDoe-iw7zc]

So side note John Browning also invited the 1887 he actually told them that a pump action shotgun would work better but Winchester wanted a lever action shotgun since almost all of there longarms in there sales line up, up untill that point were lever action

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Appreciate the added info.

[@The_13th_Hussar]

The first pump action shotgun was actually created and sold by Christopher Spencer in 1882, he is better known for designing the Spencer repeater.

[@NappaDZ]

@@The_13th_Hussar Correct in 1895 or 1896 Winchester got into a legal battle with Spencer for the 1893/1897 but Winchester found some older patents and won the case. On a side note Winchester let people bring in their 1893's (reason being was that the 93's were not strong enough for smokeless powder) for 1897's that's why they are pretty rare now.

[@ryans3194]

The 1897 Winchester is one of my favorites and I need to get one

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Think they are still being as repros.

[@jpavlvs]

My cousin had one of the shotguns used at the Mussel Slough 'fight'. Belonged to my great grandfather's younger sister. Along with a Smith&Wesson pistol that's now in the museum in Hanford Ca.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

[@brianfuller7691]

Cool episode. The break open shotgun was iconic and widely respected. Also easy to clean and maintain, almost every lawman or outlaw has one. It didn't require shooting skills and was effective at the same range as a revolver. The later shotguns were even more effective. Great video as always.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thanks. Easy mechanically, so not much gunsmithing needed.

I believe it was Elmer Keith who called the Winchester Model 97 12-guage the "greatest alley cleaner of them all". You could hold the trigger and shoot off the entire magazine. I once demonstrated this on the range and totally obliterated the silhouette target and most of the frame. The range master said, "Jesus Christ !!". It also demonstrated why the shotgun is perhaps the best weapon the lawman has at his disposal !

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

[@krb5292]

On the coach gun; to my knowledge, cutting the barrels down made it easier to handle; the shot spread had less to do with it (although it did open up the pattern some.) As a by, coach guns are one of my favorite, especially with exposed hammers.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Easier too conceal, as well.

[@lawv804]

Easier to maneuver and aim in a tight space, like a stage coach.

[@emmettyoung7603]

to follow up on that the spread of the pellets is super affected by the choke type. a bare cylinder cut down might have a big effect but a fulll choke cut down might have little effect

[@mindofmadness5593]

You forgot the Plate Glass Window for the guy shot to go flying to-always happens in the movies in a building, on a Mountain, Desert or Space. I'm like Clint Eastwood in that movie where he was an Aged-out Gunfighter called to arms-he kept missing with his Revolvers so went in and got his Scattergun.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

One day I'll cover that. Big plate glass windows are a Hollywood prop for throwing people through.

[@jwgringo9632]

It always puts a smile on my face when ever you guys upload

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

[@stevenlindquist7840]

The 1887 Winchester lever action shotgun was also invented by John M Browning and his brother Matthew S Browning. The brothers also invented the Winchester 1893 pump action shotgun which was modified to accept smokeless powder ammo and rereleased as the Winchester 1897.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes. The 97 fixed what was wrong with the previous model and was the success of the two.

[@willmarona4188]

Good one Santee. Always been a fan of Remington shotguns my fires was a Remington model 12 when i was 16 . I have a couple older versions. The never disappoint!!!

[@lesschattermoresplatter5769]

I have a Winchester “97” that I bought about 35 years ago. It was made in 1927 and it’s about 90%. It shoots better than any new pump shotgun I’ve ever owned. The only drawback is the fight that’s going to ensue between my kids to see who gets it after I kick the bucket.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Well, that is darn cool.

[@CAMSLAYER13]

Obviously its gotta be a shooting contest to see who gets the gun

[@ghostface1529]

fun fact about the model 97 Winchester is that it was used extensively in world war 1 and up to the Vietnam for it's close range firepower that was very well suited for fighting in trenches and tunnel systems that were no wider than a couple grown men standing side by side. they still used paper shells as brass shells never made it to the frontlines fast enough to make a difference and one of the things that soldiers did was they would run all of their ammo through the gun just by racking the action to test for swollen rounds that would jam the gun in pcombat and any shells that jammed in the gun were discarded completely so the soldier had rounds tyat had the lowest possible chance to jam so when they charged the enemy trenches and gotten into them they wouldn't have to contend with a jammed gun in a situation where your life depended almost entirely on your ability to fire as many rounds as possible and as fast as you can and a distinct advantage of the Winchester 1897 was the ability to slamfire as it didn't have a traditional trigger disconnect on it so you could hold the trigger down and fire the gun wut just the pump as a crude automatic weapon adding to it's effectiveness in the clkse quarters of a trench it was also said that soldiers who were skilled trapshooters were issued it during world war 1 and could shoot enemy grenades out of the air but there is no records of it happening and it would have been impossible to do at night the biggest difference between the civilian model 1897 and the military one used in both world wars are as follows: the trench grade version has a 20 inch barrel a bayonet lug for use with the model 1917 Enfield bayonet and had a perforated steel heat shield around the barrel so the use can grab it and use it with the bayonet in melee combat without burning their hands all in all the m97 saw extensive use throughout both world wars and even Vietnam for its close range firepower and small size making it ideal for use in trenches or tunnels before being phased out for more modern shotguns

[@xenoxols2527]

Winchester's first pump shotgun was actually the 1893. The 1897 is an improvement on the design, and was much more popular. There were a few other options on the market for repeating shotguns too.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I never said the 1897 was the first. But since the 93 production was so much less and they improved it....I mentioned only the 97.

[@arthurleino]

Oldest Shotgun I have is a Winchester model 1912 16 gauge pump. It holds six rounds.

[@justdustino1371]

Clint-"Who owns this sh*thole?!?"...... "I own this establishment.....bought it from Mr. Greeley for a $1000" ....Clint-"You boys better clear away from there!" Actually the Winchester Model of 1893 pump action preceded the 1897 but it had a design flaw and most were sent back to Winchester and rebuilt as 1897s. Also, you can hold the trigger on a '97 and it will automatically fire as fast as you can pump it. I used to have one.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah, that's why I didn't mention the '93. Only 34K of them compared to the million plus of the '97.

The feature where you can hold down the trigger and it will fire as you pump is actually prevalent on a lot of older pump shotguns. Even the Ithaca 37's could do it. If memory serves, they're referred to as "slam-fire shotguns."

[@doraran2138]

You also didn't mention other oddities like the Burgess folding shotgun, worked by sliding trigger guard, from 1880's or the Colt revolving percussion shotgun, both obscure also, unknown except to gun nerds.

Hey Santee, I got lucky at a garage sale today and was able to snag two mid 1800s (probably 1870s or maybe 1860s I think) Shotgun frames for five bucks. I know for you guys in the South that isn't anything special as you can buy a whole antique gun for quite cheap, but up here in Canada even getting random parts for antique guns will cost you a crazy amount so I'm quite happy with being able to now own atleast a part of a true western gun lol. One of the frames must have been quite the fancy gun back in its day since it is beautifully engraved all over and has a makers mark which I will have to try and decipher later.
