Pawn Stars: RICK HITS THE BULLSEYE on 1863 Sharps Rifle (Season 4) | History

firefighterstation3 this happens in every skit with the owner there. It’s rare the owner needs a history lesson. But the audience does. It’s a semi fourth wall break.

I know lol Rick had no clue how it worked

[@dosmundos3830]

the rifles were easily adapted to fire metallic cartridges.

[@GuitarGunner]

When the metallica cartridge came along pretty much all of these were converted by a gunsmith to shoot a cartridge instead. It involved putting a barrel insert to reduce the caliber down to .45 and some other operation on the receiver.

[@normanbraslow7902]

Look closely when he loads it. The Sharps has been converted to shoot center fire brass cartridges. It is NOT in original condition. It should be using paper cartridges. That drops the price drastically.

Yep I picked up on that one too but remember that in 1867 roughly 60,000 were converted to metallic cartridge for continued use by the Army.

[@haroldwilkes598]

The Sharps Rifle and Carbine (Models 1848 to 1881) were chambered for the . 50-90 Sharps cartidge (0.52in caliber/bore).

[@glennwhitehead6484]

That was clearly using a metallic cartridge. It's either been converted or it was an 1874 model. The 1863 used, as Rick mentioned, a combustible, paper cartridge with a separate percussion cap.

[@artheriford]

I noticed that too

[@plop55]

[@shockwave6213]

For anyone curious: The explosive target is probably Tannerite. You can buy the 2 powders to mix together yourself at home. Its extremely stable and safe. You can only set it off with a shock-like force, such as a bullet. Edit: I just saw the Star Reactive Targets label on the jar.

[@AlanMichaelJackson]

Yeah, we know.

[@jordanholliday9163]

"Were taking every safety precaution" Yeah like mixing it and then walking 100 yards instead of mixing it at the position

[@anom3778]

Every precaution 'necessary'.

[@jamessoltis5407]

...the explosive was likely Tannerite, which for the most part can only be detonated by a high velocity projectile.

[@Kwiwiwiwi]

An assault rifle need to have power and usefulness but it’s main point is that it has to be readily mass produced. The Henry was rare and expensive, and couldn’t be produced as fast or as cheap as the sharps. Only high ranking officers would have something like a Henry

[@rockydee7499]

@Custis Long Henry rifle was around that time but just like kiwi said its produced on small quantities so its rare but it would make its way to American Wild West as Winchester rifle
