Spec Ops Review And Test A Vintage Blunderbuss

[@MichaelsTightPants]

Saw one at auction that was originally used by royal mail for mail security. Also they used them to clear the decks in naval boarding parties

[@maltakim6111]

Mail's serious business.

[@colbunkmust]

@@maltakim6111 That's how money was sent before wire transfers and armored car services so robbing a mail coach was lucrative business.

The term “riding shotgun” was never used in the Old West. It came from Western movies. But actually “riding shotgun” was a thing from before America.

[@Sebt1cFl3sh]

Cams reaction to the blunderbus was legendary till he shot it and drained the life out of him 😅😂

[@mitchconner2021]

Think he expected more of a kick 😂

[@seankeohane9691]

1) didn’t have 80-100 grains 2) didn’t pack a wad over the powder

[@jeddpires]

Cam: Ah this thing will not kill Me: I wonder if he realized that what he said was a- Clay: Doug Marcaida would be sad

[@zmakattack]

I'm sure with a brass barrel you need to be mindful of pressures, but I can't help but think that the low velocity comes from not packing that charge tighter.

[@gatling216]

That's exactly what happened. The packing peanut method works great if you're doing a blank charge for demonstrations and such.

[@lonetiger306]

7:20 Israel really got into it

[@fratercontenduntocculta8161]

As a Retired US Soldier myself, we always joked about having a Tactical Blunderbuss for room clearing. We also referred to the M16A2 as a Muzzleloader or Musket.

[@tedrow70]

Throwback to the hunters in WoW cam!! Love the blunderbuss video! One of my fav channels dudes, aside from cam being my doppelgänger

[@badfoody]

Though the WoW hunters by then used Breech loaded cartridge weapons haha

[@wilsonvaughn5385]

Another great vid! "I will say, once again, very close. You're also, once again, f*ckin wrong." haha Clay is getting cooler and as always, loving Izzy's comedic antics and Cam's unfiltered reactions.

[@badfoody]

I swear Izzy is gonna run a kid's show in the future. With all his voices

[@Tango_Mike]

I'm pretty sure Clay was as worried as I was about this thing just blowing up with a bigger charge. 😂 Another great episode! Looking forward to the next one.

[@juliusstout3612]

OK, you guys should never change. This channel will blow up.

[@stevenglendale9053]

Blunder buss looks like such a cool weapon to shoot can't wait to see what it's like

[@chris.76256]

The blender bus

[@matthewmckinnon9298]

Need a shift fire collab with Garand thumb and administrative results...and more travis haley as always

[@Arkreiner]

It was cool to see a blunderbuss in action. Maybe soon we see a Beretta Cx4 Storm, something the Italian Police used to use, or still does, not 100% sure.

[@KikumiChan]

Isn't this a gun from Looney Tunes? 😄 Side note - Clay mentioning Doug Marcaida caught me slightly off guard. He's one of the reasons I love knives.

[@Joshmo1234]

It will KEEL

[@Tadicuslegion78]

Ash Williams: Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

[@R3D_Lantern]

Evil Dead is a great serious that is seriously under-rated now a days.

[@xinsanedefeatx]

5:05 that little face twitch when Israel flags Cameron's hand

[@diverguy2583]

Powder, overpowder wad, shot, overshot wad. They will range out to 75 meters if done correctly. Fun weapons for sure though.

[@brimmers4922]

Hell yeah just woke up and shift fire posted

[@chris.76256]

I just turned my internet on and it was posted 1 min ago lol

[@countersteer713]

@Maxiephly I hope it's Asia or a night shift worker. If not I hope he gets some antidepressants and a gym membership 😩

[@ShiftingGrin]

How many cameras are involved in filming these? The shot of Cameron firing from 6:38 looks great, but then we hit 6:51 and the white balance goes haywire. Or look at 7:12 when Israel is preparing to fire and it just flips back and forth like a strobe light.

[@SkitterMcBoo]

Idk what you said but it sounds like you have a film degree.

[@chuckgreen3629]

You're grouping cameras and editing together. Looks like 2 cameras but also snappy editing.

[@benchan16]

This is such a well produced series/channel I really hope yall keep making videos!

[@brandingkdm9222]

You guys are legends keep making content I absolutely love it. Love you guys

[@samoliver9132]

Wow I was expecting it to be like a handheld cannon but it was actually more like a fancy firework. It’s like they attached a bunch of wood and metal around some cheapo Roman candle.

[@seankeohane9691]

They didn’t load it right. You need 80-100 grains of powder and you must put a wad over the powder.

[@crumply5959]

U gotta use a piece of wadding like paper or cardboard after the powder and before the shot. Then u seal it up with more wadding. The wadding adds accuracy and range to the shot. They forgot to add the wadding before the shot.

[@your_average_enthusiast]

Ha, I just put the same thing! I have almost an identical one and it has some power behind it

[@hostoftheseawitch3431]

And probably a 100 grain charge, a bit over 3 drams. The military load in then18th century was about 110 grains, the same as a Brown Bess.

[@mharm734]

You can tell they had no clue how to actually load the gun but the vid was fun to watch and they didn't hurt themselves

[@Venom--CQB]

5:50 Israel's the best man 😂😂😂😂😂

[@thecarnivore3799]

The production quality of these videos are so good for the size of the channel

[@Cachoritto]

Man what a call back to wow

[@doomscroller1722]

love how much energy israel bought this time

[@lavaman9014]

It would be cool to see you guys test the weapon on certain objects like fruit and paper and stuff like that.

[@Redx130000]

You guys forgot to put wadding between the powder and shot. Makes a world of a difference in velocity.

[@soldium6362]

Liking and commenting to appease the algorithm god. Great stuff as always!

Omg old school back nice

im surprised cameron hasn't said rangers lead the way when he shoots first

[@masonharkness6437]

Love the channel fellas and the stuff you do with gameolgy, it would be sweet if we could see you guys shoot more rounds with these guns ( the blunderbuss isn’t the best example lol )

[@connorlohse4097]

The Doug Marcaida reference was greatly appreciated lol

[@alexmedlin4764]

Y’all are awesome 👏 thanks for another great video.

[@your_average_enthusiast]

Gotta put a patch between the powder and balls for any kind of velocity.

[@Bignate2254]

Love the forged in fire reference🤣🤣🤘

[@jpbreeze44]

If they get a brown bess musket, there better be multiple and they better fire in volleys.

[@chesterlayton3910]

Stagecoach. They loaded them between your knees. It was faster than trying to reload a long gun.

my favorite part... "we bring a multitude of experts" one guy lmao

[@mmccceo8583]

For lethal antiquities y'all should do something you don't see often and kinda rare like the BREN-10 10mm or the Smith&Wesson 645/45-06 45ACP OR the 10-06 10mm or the Beretta M93R 9mm H&K VP70 with 3 round burst/stock/holster or a Draugunav SVD or H&K PSG-1 just super odd ball weapons that a lot aren't familiar with would love to see them ! Keep up the good work guys!

[@deathripper4880]

I what to see the Navy revolver

[@Deltron1337]

I think Iz eating the packing peanuts was the funniest thing I've ever seen

"Lethal antiquities is a segment where we bring in a variety of experts (read: Clay) from various fields..."

[@mr.bombastic413]

The fact that Cam scams Izzy on every single game of Rock Paper Scissors is hilarious 😂

[@AFpaleoCon]

Why do they underload all these black powder weapons in these videos?

[@johnfessenden3771]

Powder-wad-projectile-wad! Boom much more energy.

[@tylerdixon3290]

This was cool video and it was awesome to see your initial reaction, but the reason you didn't hit much is cause there wasnt any wadding between powder and projectile and that packing peanut method was garbage. Something as simple as some paper stuffed in there between the powder and projectiles and another piece of paper on top would've made for a tighter pattern and would've given it more power, sound and recoil.

[@julienschille3862]

Doug Marcaida reference 👌🏼

[@nickrouthier3081]

isnt the wad supposed to go in behind the shot?

[@bmora2133]

I think maybe in this case it's actually so the rounds don't fall out of the smooth barrel if you point down lol.... Idk I thought the same thing but think I heard this said before. Also he did say for cavalry...so... idk

[@nickrouthier3081]

@@bmora2133 maybe one in front and back...thats why they got no pressure behind that shot. not enough of a gas seal for the projectiles to gain velocity

[@bmora2133]

@@nickrouthier3081 maybe that sounds plausible I didn't consider that. I thought the powder was probably reduced for safety reasons but it could just be no pressure.

[@MisterNi]

I'm basing this off of how American Civil War era rifles were loaded, but the wad goes in last to pack the shots. Sometimes people would load powder into small sacks to make reloading faster and powder amounts more consistent but the wad was to hold everything in place. Sometimes greased cotton would be loaded first and last, but I'm pretty sure a blunderbuss would've been packed with whatever was readily available. Hence using packing peanuts like in this video. 😄

[@blackeagle2294]

Forged in fire reference 👌

[@NOVAfishing]

Where did you get the bench-made hat!!

[@RawkeTear]

They really didn't understand the loading process for a blunderbuss, should powder, wad, shot, wad. Instead of using Packing peanuts, could use coffee filters credits to inrangeTV. But honestly can use almost as long it can provide a decent seal for compression.

[@Sneakyboson]

God their video as become an addiction. If only they made more video a week

[@KenjiTheSnek]

Gotta love that bunderbluss

[@majkurbasic1799]

Why do u have the mags on the plate carriers

[@leonpeters-malone3054]

Baker Rifle would be good to see. Always had a soft spot for that.

[@seankeohane9691]

No offense but you need to put 80-100 grains of powder , then a wad over the powder/ wad over shot. This dramatically increased power / accuracy.

[@MyWegg]

Glad to see someone is left handed with a weapon lmao my brothers think I’m weird when I hold a gun with my left hand

[@jacobl6714]

Cam played wow??? And loved the hunter class? Oh man E>

[@hasgunwilltravel6840]

Y’all didn’t use enough powder. I’d try 80-100 grains. With that it would most definitely be very lethal. Also a better wad would make it stronger. You need it to fit tight. Also the 80-100 gr is not a recommendation because I don’t wanna get in trouble if someone does it in a gun that shouldn’t be shot.

[@whatsupitsjames5185]

[@apophics6758]

it’s pretty good against zombies too

[@piggypoo]

At first I was like, "haha! they brought cotton candy to the range and israel is just munching on it." but then i realized it was actually packaging peanuts that they were using as a wad lmao.

[@JohnyScissors]

I see the crew got a nice new camera lol

[@cybercat1531]

I have now seen 2 videos where Lethal Antiques ask you to load a muzzleloader incorrectly multiple times. It's no longer accidental, this must be intentional, is he omitted the wadding between powder and projectile in order to reduce barrel dirt from the wadding burning? Might as well omit the wadding entirely then instead of loading it in the wrong order. Check out InRangeTV's video titled "Blunderbuss - Buckshot Patterning" for what difference such loading makes to accuracy and pressure.

[@Deathwatch_2002]

I’d love to see the Nock boarding gun make an appearance

[@sethIguess2002]

I think you need more explosions in the intro

[@MotorcycleUS]

Y’all missed a golden opportunity to use an epic pun: Blunderbust.

[@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n]

Well if the state says you can hunt with black powder guns, then you can use this for bird hunting. Like a pirate would.

Pink styrofoam? Nice Izzy!!!!🤟🤟🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It would be cool to see a 30/40 krag or a Winchester 1895 lever action

[@nipplecream3099]

they made 1895s in 30-40 Krag

[@agentalberta6531]

is it just me or does shouting out the mystery weapon (or showing the weapon) right at the forefront in the intro seems counterintuitive for what intro is suppose to be?

[@blundy1]

I endorse this message.

[@badfoody]

To be fair though. The World of Warcraft one is a breech loaded weapon with brass cartridges haha

This channel is 👍👍

A wound at that time was likely death. If you got a hole in you, you were most likely going to die.
