Why so much hate on things that are hardly even related to this video? These were made in 1820 which is really surprising since the design looks so modern (The fact that they're in perfect condition helps too) yet they seem so far from what we have now, something like this would be greatly difficult to replicate even with modern technology, if anything modern technology would distract us. These pistols are a magnificent work of art and design, so stop hatin' and see the bright side already :)
I really don't understand why people hate on this. It's absolutely outstanding that someone in the 1820's could craft something so elegant in a way that no one even in the year 2011 could duplicate. It's absolutely genius and must have taken a savant to create something this perfect in that era.
Was anyone else thoroughly unimpressed by the slow motion??.... Its pathetic they think this is anything above pathetic... I wouldn't trade my own feces for that pistol...
Yes, yes..I understand it's profoundly rare and expensive and is encrusted with gold and pearls but for fuck sakes you knowledgeable bastard....WILL IT BLEND?
"So in order to demonstrate my respect and status as a real gentleman I let you choose this wonderful precious pistol for our duel. I myself will humbly settle for my old rusty .44 Magnum..."
P.s, yes,might be a small caliber, but my daddy taught me that even a small caliber can be absolutely effective. It'll BOUNCE and zig zag around the body cavity, poking lil holes and nicking various vital organs like a pinball in a pinball machine.so never under estimate a small caliber.
We are so enamored with our modern technology that we need to be reminded of mans' incredible ability to improvise and create. To it would be done with microchips. Absolutely amazing. Thanx for posting.
@ChgoSTrider And those microchips would be more impressive than the mechanical mechanism of the bird itself, by a very wide margin. Here you have an object with extraordinarily precise design, intricate complexity, costing only a few dollars, faster than the super computers they used to design and refine thermonuclear weapons 20 years ago.
This pistol is more worthy than myself.

@luckyw4ss4bi Are you fucking kidding me? Anyone with half a brain could make that today. But WHO WOULD WASTE THE TIME.
This family houses the lowest thieves of all times.. who benefitted off the deaths of many, with no defenses.
The fact that someone hasn't murdered them all is past my understanding.
