It looks more like a close range, anti-riot weapon rather than something you would use in a battlefield. With percussion caps one must have something hip-high and steady to slam it against, like a wall or a street barricade.
But maybe it was a fieldweapon before it was converted, with fuses instead of caps and a second guy to steady the gun and light the fuses.
"....back in the old days, when wars were fought by real men..." Yea the comment sounds bad, but stop being over-reactionary and just think about what he really means. Most war now is fought in relative safely via aircraft missiles etc. Compare that to back then when men actually walked straight into volley after volley of musket fire and held the their line knowing they would die. You would be hard pressed to find that people who could endure such war in the modern age.
I won't dispute the possibility of a conversion to percussion caps, but I would like to question whether or not one can be sure this may not have been a replica produced at a much later date? I mean, it would seem odd to take an already 300-ish year old handcannon and convert it (if done in the 1800 at the introduction of perc caps). My argument is that a conversion would ruin its value, as well as possibly damaging the metal making this a historical handgrenade of sorts.
i think this was part of a trap- there was a atring on the ground, and if somebody walked into that string, the gun fell onto the ground and kills him/her/it
@FishBoneWins I believe he ment that today wars are fought for greed of a few hundreds who detain power and mostly with technology rather than hand/arm/body strenght. AND I AGREE WITH HIM. Any soldier who think that he is fighting for his country nowadays is really dumb and stupid or has been brain washed.
Just my opnion. It should be sand blasted, parkerized and coated with gunkote but that would probably destroy the value or maybe it could be... refinished more authentically.
@Condom007of007Solace They probably used fine-grain powder instead of fuse to fire it, faster and easier to ignite. And about shooting the gun when moving, you can simply hit the percussion cap with a piece of steel, this is what the chinese pirate-fighter using the breechloading swivel gun did.
I love that deep black powder boom. We used to have a .69 cal flintlock and it sounded much like this. Just a deep resonic boom. I know this is so heavy there's no recoil and even with the Charleyville it was more like a push than the snap modern weapons with recoil impart. Pretty darned neat weapon and clip.
@oxode In reading comments such as this, I'm somewhat amazed at the number of people who have no clue that firearms were converted and updated to newly-invented systems continuously. I think this is largely the fault of sources such as History Channel which only want to show the exciting stuff and skip all the important details, like conversions. Conversions were done all through the history of firearms and sometimes one firearm would see three different systems before the basic gun wore out.
@cannonmn I'm Cannon with this. I can see it being updated to use caps. Granted the traditional style and thought is of it is a match fired pole weapon used at a Medieval siege. But I can see someone tinkering with the weapon trying to "improve" it and make it better. We still use air craft from WWII, granted just about everything on that aircraft has been replaced/remade, it still the same aircraft. Now, we can tell this didn't go main stream, but its not crazy to think it was at least tested.
@cannonmn Chinese seem to have used handcannons and other ancient weapons for a quite long time. In the percussion conversion thing, some old number of National Geographic magazine has photos of a chinese, iron smoothbore, breechloading swivel gun in use during 1930/40s and that gun also had a nipple for percussion caps in the breechblock. That swivel gun too, like the hand cannon, is hundreds of years older than the invention called "percussion cap".
@cannonmn You may be right. :) But as far as I know, they were using blow torches... Similar to how matchlocks are fired. Though, if indeed the pole cannon lasted 'till percussion caps were invented, then they may have used percussion caps... Though I think it's more practical to use blow torches than percussion caps... What will you hit the cap with, if say you're moving?
@cannonmn I have strong doubts that anybody bothered to update a several centuries old polegun in the 19th cent. when much more sophisticated guns where easily obtained. If it would be a 18th. cent musket or a hunting rifle, O.K., that was common, but a polegun?
@cannonmn What are you even talking about? Your post makes next to no sense. The guy is right, there were no percussion caps in the 15th century. If that was a 15th century weapon, it was certainly not used like that.
@oxode Do you mean "READ"? You said the complete opposite! Unless you're an illiterate who can't express themselves properly with the written word. Either way go back to bed. You have no idea what you're talking about or if you do you don't know how to write it down in a way that others will understand.
@schlegelt I think you'll find that with the dynamic nature of the English Language that there is nothing grammatically wrong with what I have written. The fact that you fail to understand this also places you in the semi illiterate category. Have a great Christmas, by yourSELF ;)
@oxode who cares do they light them manually or just use firecaps, not like it changes anything but precision (as lighting them would mean more precise shot) and the time it takes for it to blow...
@samurai815 To precision:Such guns had not to be accurate. They where used nearly at melee distance and mostly to defend gaps. If You have a convectional and try to get through a gap over a guy with one of these . . . You would likely step aside and grant someone else the honor.
@oxode In the Middle East, the first use of the hand cannon is argued to be during the 1260 Battle of Ain Jalut between the Mamluks and Mongols. Chinese soldiers fighting under the Mongols appear to have used hand cannon in Manchurian battles during 1288, a date deduced from archaeological findings at battle sites. So 15th century is very plausible.

That was very interesting. And not bad at all for 500 years ago. Is that true? Thanks for sharing. Just wondering was there any concern over it blowing-up in your face?
15th Century Percussion caps, really? Thats incredibly far sighted as the percussion cap was invented by Shaw and patented in 1822. The original was probably fired by a hand held slow match. This was a replica obviously. No one would fire a real original.
...I could imagine these were a defensive position fire-team, volley weapon: Utilising a fire-er, a go-between and a re-loader(s)[poss. a sub-team]...which, when fully trained, would forward quite a formidable barrier to an attacking foe; From a walled/reinforced position... Other than this...when fired...it could be used as a mace or club if needs be...depending upon the length of the staff/handle...
This is really impressive stuff you guy's've got there. I've never seen anything quite like it. I had heard of single-shot models that pre-dated matchlock muskets, but the bore was larger. A three-shot, hm? Someone was using their noggin when they made that! Thanks for sharing.
Fuckin' queers. "An enemy attacking would'a been DEAD meat!" get the fuck outa here an enemy attacking woulda stepped to the side and pimp slapped your dumb asses.
WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN, FOUGHT BY REAL MEN!?!?! YOUR OLD ASS WAS PROBABLY A FUCKIN FELT TIP PEN PUSHER!!!!!! WE LOST ALOT OF REAL MEN IN IRAQ YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!
@Kleo84 boo-fucking-hoo, they're soldiers it's part of their fucking job description. I mean it's sad for the families and all that, but it's hardly fucking surprising is it.
This type of pole gun was fired by glowing match (i.e. smoldering rope). It was designed to be fired by mounted soldiers. It could be argued it was one of the first cavalry carbines. Hand cannons fired from behind castle walls were called rampart guns and invariably had some sort of hook or pin to hook over the wall and remove recoil.

@Hundseier Yeah, cus you can hold the pole (with both hands) and fire it (using a match or w/e) using your useful third hand (lol), WHILST riding a horse :P
@Dedfaction Never said it was a brilliant idea! The acute lack of troopers with third hands probably saw it off.LOL. Can't post links for how these things were fired, so type in"cheval coulevrinier" into Google images. The thought of how the horse would react doesn't bear thinking about.
@19Truth53 if by "spooks" you mean niggers theres probably none as us white men dont like em around while were out on the range we might have a flashback seein a nigger with a gun and shoot that nigger dead!
Call it "unscripted banter." Amazing things that make no sense come out of Ed's mouth all the time, some are quite funny and some are just puzzling. "You had to be there."
@YotaFan1 You're welcome. Now go out and play the lottery until you win, then bring me a tiny fraction of the winnings and walk away with the famous 3-barrel gun.
@cannonmn Define "real men" for me. As in what age you are talking about(wars run through entire history) and what sets one apart from another. I'm quite curious.
@cannonmn if i was you i would go down because it looks rusted and you could get a m14 sniper rifle that is 10 times better then that at a lower price
@lucassrocks1 You don't buy a hand cannon for performance; even a cheap Saturday night special would outdo it as far as that is concerned. You buy a hand cannon to own a piece of history, a relic of a bygone era.

Call it "unscripted banter." Amazing things that make no sense come out of Ed's mouth all the time, some are quite funny and some are just puzzling. "You had to be there."

@cannonmn I would love to have it. But I was @ about a third of your price. Nice peice. I'm glad you made a video sharing it with the world.

@YotaFan1 You're welcome. Now go out and play the lottery until you win, then bring me a tiny fraction of the winnings and walk away with the famous 3-barrel gun.

@cannonmn Define "real men" for me. As in what age you are talking about(wars run through entire history) and what sets one apart from another. I'm quite curious.

@cannonmn I think this was a Chinese gun from the Ming Dynasty. I've seen this on Deadliest Warrior.

@cannonmn if i was you i would go down because it looks rusted and you could get a m14 sniper rifle that is 10 times better then that at a lower price

@lucassrocks1 You don't buy a hand cannon for performance; even a cheap Saturday night special would outdo it as far as that is concerned. You buy a hand cannon to own a piece of history, a relic of a bygone era.
