Guns of the West

[fermi911]

Why couldn't I have ever had a teacher this cool?

[Abbottron88]

what a champion



[infinitelimitation]

i notice all those really old guns have allot of smoke compared to modern day guns but i preer these old guns to modern day ones :) especially the smith n wesson :)

[BillyBobJr1994]

@infinitelimitation he's shooting black powder out of those. It's not the guns but the cartridges. Now we use smokeless

[Weaponcollecter16]

@BillyBobJr1994 Not to mention the hard cast bullets he's using are lubricated.

[Blizzhobbs]

lol, let's just shoot itBOOOOOOOMM

[nairobz]

me amarro nos videos desse cara,esse vídeo aí foi um dos promeiros q eu assisti!

[glynamus]

fun video

[csa220]

18 people are anti gun , only those who love america and are willin to fight have a gun , and if you dont love america then leave her

[FromTheIslandNapkins]

the reason people push the cartridge half way in is to keep the loading gate open and on some guns the gate gets jammed shut if you don't.

[jaratt85]

funny thing is either bill cody or wild bill hickock (cant remember which) was always a fan of the cap and ball guns and preffered the 1847 colt navy over cartridge guns.

[FromTheIslandNapkins]

@jaratt85 it was wild bill hikock and he liked the 1851 navy.

[jaratt85]

@FromTheIslandNapkins well thanks for clearing that up lol. knew someone would

[FinalShotSaloon]

Very cool.

[main095099]

@ImYerrow;;- im not hickok45./ but i am a dad who spends money on guns and i can tell you this bro.! // ,, If my son went and got a gun for me ?,, : " WOW" is what that piece would mean to me , ..obove and beyond the call od duty..

[Morepullups]

Awesome!

[blackredyellow1]

hi

[fsfazekas]

Very nice video, Hickok. Maybe after I've collected the modern firearms I want I'll look into old west guns...There is something very cool about them...

[Timper325]

Excellent as always. Djquack12, when loading your 3030. There is a bullet catch just past the loading gate. If you bullet is is being pushed back behind the gate, the catch is broken or you not pushing it far enough past the loading gate.

[djquack12]

When loading my Winchester 30-30. I have to leave the end of the cartridge sticking out, because the spring pushes it back over the loading gate. So the magazine has to be empty before loading.

[chazzlehoff]

I believe Hickok teaches elementary or junior high school students. If I am not mistaken he focuses mostly on history. Fortunately, I believe he has some freedom in his lesson plans since he teaches at a private or parochial school.

[BrauereiTUBE]

keep doing those vids. I think your´re just as good as FPSRussia:-))) greetings

[corwin11412]

@BrauereiTUBE He's better!

[thepensmith1]

@corwin11412 if u think so ...

[breadbun99]

what do you teach?

[jan1761]

FOGHORN LEGHORN: " I SAY BOY"!!!!

[craftygirl1964]

and could you do a video on the smith and weston derringer or the 1886 gatling gun

[robxxxdevil]

now those are propper guns!

[SlickVega]

love your vids Hickok! this one especially :)

[squidgypoppet]

Great clip keep up the gd wrk

[BuddyWillis]

SSSHHHHAAAANNNNNEEEEE

One of the first novels I ever read

I didn't know you were an English teacher though, sort of reminds me of captain John Miller in Saving Private Ryan

[haloboyFNFAL]

SOME ONE IS HAVING TOO MUTCH FUN

[MultiRedneck8]

so i suspect u teach language arts but for what grade???

[airic554]

Hickok do you have an guns that shoot cowboy loads? We got some iver and johnsons in .32 and .38 and im a little reclucant to buy ammo and fire them.. Any experience?

[Jermanaut]

@ hickok45 In regards to loading a lever gun you were kinda wondering why some people load the rounds through the loading gate by pushing them halfway in at a time. I just wanted to sorta help "shed some light on the subject"; i know with my model 94 winchester i load them that way. I don't do it necessarily for safety, but because if i don't load it in that fashion i can't get all the rounds in the gun. The other bullets get in the way when the loading gate shuts, preventing further loading. :)

[Pinky117x]

You should save your brass hickok45 if not just for reloading you could make a pretty amount on scrap.

[Breakneckhydra1]

@Pinky117x

He DOES reload.

[theduke502]

Hickok doin' it like a Boss :D

[dcnsqc]

i had some pretty awesome teachers in my day but Hickok45, you would have topped them all! if any of my teachers showed me a youtube video of them shooting references a novel or movie we studied, i would have lost it! NOT TO MENTION A SHOOTING VIDEO! thanks so much for the videos, keep them coming! btw i just watched the mini 14 video for the first time! Its my next gun for sure, forget the AR! I love it!

[121092cory]

I wish you would get your hands on a Winchester model 12 12 gauge and do a video and show people what a real shotgun is. Best pump ever made.

[MrPhattdirty]

greatings from France.

[13rbridge]

you look like sheriff coffee from bonanza

[TEDDYZMAIN]

...........u cant say you aint laugh a lil when he said "Put The Caps On The Nipples"

[comango458]

I would love to have you as a teacher

[VerseHunterV2]

i wish you were my grandpa!

[mikelagaffe]

my grandfather have a winchester 1873 model,it was made around the mid 80 he said to me...but still i hope i'll get it one day it's so beautiful,one of my favourites

[MsDjessa]

I´m not so crazy about the wild west theme, in popular culture, apart from Sergio Leone´s films and the video game Red Dead Redemption, which I absolutly love. But I´m really in to history generally, so these old guns fascinates me. Also I´m very much in to Steampunk, the type of fiction set on either early industrial era world with all those neat old pieces of technology, or a fictional world inspired by that.

So this video was so cool because it allowed me to share my enthusiasm to both....

[MsDjessa]

@MsDjessa history and pop culture. Thanks for another good video.

[em23]

i can order a pizza and watch your vids all day :)

[turbonium96]

Now that you put up a smoke screen with the double barrel pull out the glock and spring a surprise attack on the gong

[Duskworker]

love the way the bullet flips out of the lever action...

*terminology fail*

[marhdz329]

yeah they can text their friends or check on their facebook lol

[MysteryoftheGods]

What class do you teach?!

[stuntmanpower]

Dont mess with Greg, his got all the artillery :-D

Peace Out! Daniel ;-)

[fcofelixx]

cellphones in the old west?

mother of god.

[MultiB0MbER]

I prefer the 1873 or the 1886 much than the bolt actions.

[robbanzana]

Whatever happened to lever guns? You only saw them in the Wild West. The mechanism seems much more practical than a bolt action, yet you only see bolt action rifles in all the armies in the world wars and so on. What made the lever gun less popular at the turn of the century?

[hickok45]

@robbanzana, With a bolt gun you can fire a very hot pointed bullet (no danger of magazine detonation with bullets end to end), and the lever itself creates some problems with shooting prone.

[chillymywilly]

@hickok45 if you use a Savage 99 lever. It has a Rotary Magazine and you can shoot pointed rounds with no worries.

[nwall989898]

@hickok45 You should get a Schofield .45 or .38

[voripeter]

@robbanzana As hickok said: "no danger of magazine detonation with bullets end to end". Since The Hague Convention of 1899 (if I remember correctly) only FMJ bullets are allowed in warfare. Usually those are "pointy" and you don't want those to be pressed to the next cartridge's primer by a spring.

And one more thing: bolt actions can be reloaded faster with a stripper clip.

[smellyshroom115]

@robbanzana also to reply to hickok45's comment another thig was you would have a hard time relodeing and cocking from a prone position

[AduneStormwind]

@robbanzana A few reasons, A bolt action is extremely sturdy and can handle powerful ammunition with ease. Bolt actions are simpler in construction, Which makes them not only more reliable but also cheaper to make. And as Hickok45 mentioned, the magazine, since there is alot more space for a magazine Bolt actions tend to use internal box magazines so the bullet can be very sharply pointed without the danger of a chain detonation in your magazine.

[hisveggieness]

@robbanzana Firing from prone is one reason as hickok45 says, also most armed forces require semi or fully automatic weapons with a high rate of fire. As a personal firearm they're great and very popular especially here in the UK where we're not permitted to own semi-automatics more powerful than .22LR.

[LTrakinat]

@robbanzana i dont think lever guns can handle the large calibers of the bolt actions

[jung159]

@LTrakinat Savage model 99s are chambered in many of the same high powered rounds as the bolt actions and have a rotary magazine instead of a tubular

[GrigoriZhukov]

@LTrakinat 45/70 45/60 300winmag there are more. 8^) so yes, yes they could and can.

[faeriesoph]

Fascinating video, really enjoyed watching you explaining these weapons that we've all seen in the movies.

[rvgreif]

Epic intro, hickok45. You always make me crack up with them, apart from the technical richness present on your videos.

[DeanZoil]

You must have some really cool next door nieghbors.

[DieselDog8912]

what make is the 1886?

[helkdona226]

the 1886 inspired hira maxim to create the machein gun he found that if u dont hold on to the handle as hard and u let it fly back all u had to do was twist ur rist to reload it to me that just sounds like a bad idea

[lalagushoru123]

aimbot

[AkimboNinjaPWN]

what kind of teacher are you? History?

[ELViejito100]

someone call the police lol

[jovaninson]

ok. take a look of my videos, if you want to.

[Cube210]

The reason for the "half-way" loading with the gate is some rifles or even some production runs make the gate not wanna budge with a round in front of it. so its easier to leave the back of the case in the gate so you don't have to fight it.

[Eastwoodfan95]

the way he gets those empty shells out of that shotgun is soooooo badass

[johnbellii]

This was an excellent video and very educational. Modern firearms are great of course but there's something to be said for a good ol' fashioned single action. I'd like to see more like this in the future, thanks for putting this together!

[thebailster5]

ha he said nipple

[Musicalshootings]

Who doesnt love hickok

[rjanderson61]

HICKOK YOU ARE THE SHIT LOVE YOUR VIDS ARE ALL OF THESE YOUR GUNS?

[VForVendetta1116]

Thumbs up i u love the old west´s weapons and clothes much more than the ugly guns and military clothing we have now in our days:-)

[mihail9988]

Good costum

[SnkyCyanTurtle]

Great vid. Colt nipples lol just having a lil fun

[militaryfreak246]

Do you want to sell your 1971colt its gorgeous

[MrChuck281]

what do you have wrapped around your winchester 45 rifle?

[TwizzElishus]

What kind of revolver did Clint Eastwood use in The Good the Bad And The Ugly?

[dcpinner]

is a plunger and an ejector rod the same thing?

[semajshadow]

@dcpinner no

[peterslay]

Have you ever fired the Winchester Model 1887?

[TapRackBoom]

John Wayne might have carried his 1892 in a scene set previously. Well the reason to that is, he can travel time. That's how cool he is. Can you travel time Hickok? Your pretty cool

[soonersfan081]

0:10 hahahaha awesome

[TalonMercenary]

the revolver with the white grip is beautiful

[n1e9g9r4o]

what kind, brand, and year is that shotgun?

[wolam3]

hey hickok i have been watching all of your western style videos latley and have noticed that you do not have a review of the winchester 1897 and was wondering if you could get your hands on one and possibly show it in one of your upcoming videos? thanks again

-Wolam3

[southparkkid278]

@Albin381 lol

[MCPlegomaster]

[jimsim1001]

[ThePandabear72123]

dear hickok you should make a video for knives like western knives and military kn ives and whatever else u know cause im a big fan of knives :)

[ThePandabear72123]

i love the wild west i wish it was still alive

[jlunit416]

Greg, for coach guns, do you prefer single or double triggers?

[WildGaston]

Dear hickok, i read shane not too long ago and it said he had a "frontier" 1873, and isnt the frontier version the 5 and half inch barrel? so im guessing shanes was 5 ina hald inch. lov ur vids!!!

[hickok45]

@WildGaston , No, it just says, "the gun was a single-action Colt, the same model as the Regular Army issue that was the favorite of all men in those days and that old-timers used to say was the finest pistol ever made." My favorite line,though, is "The smooth invitation of it tempted your grasp." Ain't THAT the truth! :-)

[WildGaston]

@hickok45 OH yeah i got frontier and army mixed up. =p thanks for the correction! thats what ur here for ! lol

[harriet807]

@hickok45 The shotgun shells were black powder right?

[bsparkies]

@harriet807 too the looks all the smoke, of it ya

[BigJT2010]

@hickok45 im sure youve answered this question in one of your vids but you have just about as many as netflix ha. but anyways what do you teach (guessing history) and at what level?

[Symbiot5]

I am so immature... I laughed when you said nipples... Jeez... I need to re-evaluate my life.

[lucathai67]

Thank you for post this interesting video , i like it very much , you are a sharp shooter with those ancient weapons , a real expert ...was like to be there with you once you show , explan and fired with those old guns and rifles ! Greetings from a Italian guy living in Thailand .

[davidroygodden]

Thank you Hickok,

For SASS shoots do you use the .45 or the quicker .38 Colts? Thanks again for the video. Love those lever action 1873's.

DG

[123chaseyoung]

Colt Repeating Rifle is missing

[buzzhorn1]

[jfkdjfd]

"I tole ya to git outta hear! PLOW, PLOW, PLOW, PLOW, PLOW!"

[morningbirdfeeder]

[dirtybird131wyd]

[MeLlamoBradly]

@dirtybird131wyd are you serious?

[iNatevlogs]

Hey we just read Shane! I only wish I was Bob... I would kill for a gun like Shanes with it's ivory plates and all.

[rysio92]

good red is dead red all cowboys know that

[Jewmaine87]

Anybody else feel like playing Red Dead Redemption?

[ulikemyskillz13]

@Jewmaine87 psh more like red dead revolver

[DANNY199566]

@Jewmaine87 yea i do know

[Brian3731]

@Jewmaine87 amen

[artiejump]

@Jewmaine87 Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

[EFG44]

@Jewmaine87 I'm playing it right now XD

[locutus340]

the whole world should go back to the wild west.. better times..

[JMunn55]

@locutus340 Global warming would stop and there would be less people around to take over the wilderness. Better days for sure.

[dcpinner]

@locutus340 I know! Back then it was like, "you, me, we got somethin' to settle"

[EFG44]

@locutus340 The wild west has the same rules as communism. In the only aspect that if you miss it, you have heart, if you want it back you're an idiot.

[locutus340]

@EFG44 who woulndt want the old west back someone look at you wrong bang shoot em dead.. btw fuck you asshole for calling me an idiot.. if this were the old west youd have a bullet righ tnow

[dmansley1986]

@EFG44 How exactly did the wild west have the same rules as communism?? The wild west was about making a new life for yourself and family on your own, not everyone sharing everything in some grand utopia, which is what communism is. Learn your history before you spout off with stupid comments like that.

[TheOHHHHHYA]

@EFG44 Ya the government took land and pushed out the Indians and what not but its the same thing today. without pushing out the Indians... fur trade, railroad, mining, hunting... huge business lots of people made a living off it. Doesn't seem much different except you gotta man up and get dirty that's for sure. And the law saying you didn't have to flee from a fight. just whip your gun out. Id like to do that to the person that stole $1000 from my family.There just evil.

[50CalTV]

@locutus340 Cause you were totally there for that.

[sambam007]

"I told you to get out of here!!" Love it!

[AirstripBum]

I have an idea. Not too useful but might be interesting to set up another camera parallel to the gong. Zoom it in and on high speed to try and record impact of a shotgun slug or some large caliber. You could make sure that the camera is protected by sitting it behind a tree. Then show it in both normal and slow-mo. What do ya think?

[theTicklemehellmo]

Hey hickok, do you have a Nagant M1895 revolver? i would love to see you shoot one,

[hopecamel]

hey hickok i have a ? do u know if the Pietta Model 1851 Confederate Navy .44 Caliber Revolver has a rear sight cause i found one on cabelas for 139.99 and might get it for xmass

[maroth3]

shoot these guns are stronger than guns we have today?

[AirstripBum]

Arg! Wild West wasn't that wild. In fact per ca-pita, crime was about 1 - 2% of what it is today. In one of the biggest toughest gold mining boom towns of the time, Bodi, CA, the rape rate was 0%. Rape never happened. In fact, one fellow did 30 days for swearing in front of a woman. Yes, I do wish we could go back to some of those ways. Oh sorry, howdy H45! Great video, again!

[OldManRiver54]

@AirstripBum The official record says that, and there probably is an element of truth in it. However, many crimes back in the west went unreported. You also got to remember that casualties from the Indian Wars added up. By the time the Indian wars were done, there was almost no family on the frontier that had not lost at least one family member from Native raids. Don't even get me started on how bad Native casualties were due to disease and army attacks.

[AirstripBum]

@OldManRiver54 Howdy! I wasn't counting indian attacks or wars. I was only counting robbery, burglary, rape, etc. "I think" that it was because more people were Christians back then and because just about everyone kept and bared guns. There were killings though but the citizens didn't much worry about them because for the most part, they were thug on thug and between consenting adults. However, premeditated murder of a law abiding citizen was taken seriously.

[OldManRiver54]

@AirstripBum Howdy to you too! I know what you're saying, but still, the desert is a big and unforgiving place. You must be careful anytime you go out there, cause if anything was to happen, nobody would know what happened to you. This was especially true back in the day even more than now, as finding lost people was harder back then. It always just makes me wonder how many people were, ahem, "lost" out there and nobody knew what happened...

Gives me the heebee-jeebees just thinking about it...

[AirstripBum]

@OldManRiver54 You're right about that. That is a heebee-jeebee generating thought. Stay armed brother!

Didn't they make a lever action chambered in .30-06?

[peachn8a]

[HeroicLarvy]

Hockok+ FPSRussia= world domination

[Biggertonka]

youre awesome mr hickok!

[snowmanly1]

Hickok 45 can you show us how to make black powder cartridges?

[dirkbikeman1001]

They had cell phones and ipods? damn

[thedoubledeus]

i laughed at the beginning

[MegaGevehr]

Damn, I didn't know that anyone still made black powder shotshells! That's awesome

[hopecamel]

can u do a video on ur competition days how u got started and all that jaz start to end

[heartsglory]

I've got a Winchester Model 94 in 30-30. I LOVE shooting it! :)

[coltar1234]

What novel are you talking about?

[plizzi3]

@imaman1222 yes you can shoot black powder through a ruger. Modern guns can shoot black powder. However the opposite is not true. Black powder guns can't shoot modern powder.

[amartinjoe]

LOL!!! "..we don't have gold....but we got plenty of lead" ...love that line!!

[anthony18w]

I'm the type of guy that can give two shits about a shot gun but all that change I don't know what kind of shotgun that double barrel is but DAMN....
