Manville Machine Gun Flare Gun

[chapiit08]

Nice instructional video. I would have never figured out that it was a winding mechanism. How does the firing mechanism work? Is it a double action hammer, just like on revolvers or is it a striker type firing pin like on Glock pistols?

[wouternet94]

Don't try this at home kids, go to your local trailerpark!

[savageguy25]

thats not a "Machine gun" its semi-automatic

[Yotunen]

TF2 pyro is gonna be updated with this baby

[Th3DEAD]

boring gun, so slow to load, on battlefield you give time to ennemy for rush & throw on you 10 grenade...

[evinger79]

What really convinces me that he's a trained professional is the campers and the welding mask. Remember kids he's a professional

[AmericanOppression]

You shoot like a fuckin DORK! BORING!

[gothbro111]

[nonchalantgamer]

What camera was this recorded with?

[iluvmym4]

My god was this in old Bata film! I'll tell you this if you point that at rioters they might poop their tree hugging shorts!

[jh3emmett]

[GameMessenger]

trained professional shooting towards the woods with incendiary projectiles!

[19XxPotatoHeadxX95]

dont try it at home, a professional? KABLAM and the car is on fire ^^

[MrAmericanidiot1995]

Nice streetsweeper. Where'd you find that?

[wikieditspam]

The Eagle of Germany has been around far long before it became associated with the empire that we fought in the first world war, and before that perversion carrying a swastika was drummed up. When Germany was functioning as a republic it did so bearing the revolutionary colors of black red and gold, the nations that the US fought bore black white and red. The Republic's flag is a piece of heritage to be proud of.

[wikieditspam]

There's something to fire while sliding in your 911 on the 'ring.

[WeaponSamurai]

This is for the pussy's out in the wild who doesn't think the helicopter can see the one flare in the sky. So why not shoot more.

[redbrest82]

Ow and a great way to start a forrest fire ...

[redbrest82]

Why do you ware a space suit?

[joshuavang12345]

shit.........



[blellblell]

Gosh those trailers are close together for a trailer park. its definately not a storage facility or anything.

Is this a class 3 item? I like the car mover lawnmower tire contraption.

I think this is cool. But I have to admit, when you said you were a trained professional I was really hoping youd dump half a dozen of those into that porche.

[pcursed]

lol what do your neighbors think of you

[Blakackmann]

@MushroomPictures

I know...i live in it.

And it sucks.

[nickynits]

[Schullitz]

wow also denken die amis immernoch wir sind alle nazis

[WeSellViews]

Looks like a real life Killzone 3 Helghast with his helmet on LOL

[RJRiegler1]

if your such a trained profesional then why the heck do you keep pointing the firearm towards the camera man!!!!!!!!!????????

[BYENZER]

Ref: @RJRiegler1 comment:

Well stated. Many so called professionals ignorantly wield weapons whist allowing the gun barrel to momentarily sweep across the direction of innocent people. Two words need to be taught to all who handle firearms, crossbows, BB guns, or any other projectile firing device; MUZZLE AWARENESS. I say again: MUZZLE AWARENESS. Now all of you say it to yourselves: MUZZLE AWARENESS. Like a broken record you should pound it into everyone who handles weaponry. SAY IT!

[supermankicass]

PULL OFF A TERMINATOR!

[xxtheParanoidxx]

[isaycharlie]

russian relette

[lovegunz1]

so it was filmed somewhere around 1998?

[lovegunz1]

[otakumask]

That was wonderful.

[icimblind]

You have a lot of faith in the safety when you point the gun at the cameraman and say, "don't try this at home", but other then that I liked the video. Can that be modified and fitted with shot gun shells? Talk about home defense!

[FrozenHaxor2]

VHS fail

[TheGUNSnKNIVES]

no du dont do this at home who in hell would own a 1938 grenade launcher

[markbuiltme]

i owned a like new manville like that it was in a case and i must have been stupid cause i never feared shooting it but i was lots younger then.

[Jseim25ify]

To fire the hole cylinder about 60 to even 100 dollars depending on where you get the flares

[Vadkoubivadko]

6:00

Moment you are all looking for

[DeadliestSoldier]

[legox50]

That's going to take a long az' amount of time to just load...

[CAPCadetAwesome]

[ROTO546]

[kcpoynter]

@ROTO546 Your confronting me about it, showing you act like your goign to do something. But yes i know you cant do shit because your a fag pussy.

[ROTO546]

@kcpoynter I would beat your ass who is the "fag pussy" the guy hiding behind a computer or the guy defending someone from a prick? I dont give a shit about you so just stop replying

[kcpoynter]

You think you could beat somebodys ass who you have no idea who they are? How dumb are you? Nobodys hiding behind their computer but you thinking you can stand up to anyone.

[PerpetualApocalypse]

[nuclearthreat545]

If anyone is interested in purchasing the world's smallest 9mm flare gun that fit's in the palm of your hand. Shoots up to 200 feet in the air with assorted colors flares. Shoot 6 flares in 6 secs. Please visit my YouTube channal for a link called 2mmPinFireWorld. Thank you.

[coppincopp]

[joshuago8]

Is it 12 gauge flats or is it the German ones

[GunsOfThePhoenix]

@joshuago8 Its not 12 GA, its 26.5mm flare/smoke rounds.

[hikerboy16]

If you are a trained professional, and you're telling us not to do it at home, why are YOU doing it at home??

[cenafrk]

@hikerboy16 i was totally thinking that the first time he said it.

[hikerboy16]

@cenafrk Ahahahahahahaha!!! That 's hilarious! :)

[crushnkill]

[TrueJankk]

@sandrapanda100 If you're going to berate someone, at least take the time to spell and punctuate your sentence correctly; you're embarrassing yourself.

[ishouldplayzelda]

[paintballin878]

[brassassmonkey]

[DepakoteMeister]

"I am a trained professional" Pointing the loaded weapon at the camera person? Trained professional what? Nothing to do with firearms I'm sure!

[zanuha]

That would be awesome to use in a video game.

[JoeQueef]

I've always been fascinated by these weapons since seeing them in the movie "Dogs Of War" with Christopher Walken. Enjoyed the Grand Finale. Would have been awesome at night.

[0mGItzAnINjA]

dam that shit looks heavy

[death2148]

Reloading musta been a pain in the butt back then =P

[shadowscion]

"Trained professional" as he simultaneously points it at the camera man, and subsequently his car.

[codycrowston]

you look like a trained idiot not a pro

[cheeseonfire2]

[ShotGunRainn]

[BlueberryBurrito]

I would love to see that thing fire at night, the whole sky would be lit up.

[IggyHazard]

Is that 26.5mm and was the Manville made in Indiana?

[dumdmechanic]

IggyHazard Yes it is 26.5mm ammo but the Manville Corp was out of Pontiac Michigan. Porsche Tech OUT

[IggyHazard]

Practically right next do0r in geographic terms.

[BurroBurrito1]

lol "dont try this at home" because we all have a 1938 flare/gas shotgun lying around.

[xXD3athSoulXx]

@BurroBurrito1 hm i got 2 - do you need one ;)

[drac00n]

its a kinda stryker shotgun

[rtyutA1]

sorta looks like a tommy gun

[Masterkiller9000]

That's was intresting and I got one guestion for you.(Dumdmechanic) Can you build flare gun what fire four flare at same times?(some sort of shotgun or something) I'm just asking, but it would be nice if you try build that kind of flare gun.

[blackchip200]

ill buy it

[Hello3427956704]

TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!!!!

[HiCapacity]

Is this really holding down the trigger firing that slow or is it semi automatic?

[Hundzy]

Some history:

These were used primarily for riot control by police and prison guards with the use of teargas rounds. It was not originally envisioned to be used with flare or smoke rounds, although these are perfectly fine to use in the units providing they are not the high pressure rounds.

I would have greatly liked to have seen how many revolutions you wound it, when you had a full magazine as that was not shown?

[dumdmechanic]

Hundzy thanks for your input I have all the original documents and advertizment literature from Charles J. Manville patent No. 2101148 and is clearly advertized as a "Gas Roit Machine Gun". I under stand your point at one time I was a class III dealer. Now I play with my four hunderd antique flare guns. Thanks again Porsche Tech OUT

[Hundzy]

Some details:

The "Machine" in the name denotes that it is not dependent on a manual reloading of the rounds, as the majority of teargas launchers at that time were a single shot unit.

The "Projector" in the name denotes that it will launch or 'project' rounds to a distance.

[Hundzy]

This was a VERY nice demonstration!

However, I do have to make a MAJOR correction.

This is not called the "Manville Machine Gun". The correct name for it is the "Manville Machine Projector" or "Manville Gas Gun".

It is VERY important to make this distinction.

A "machine gun" is an automatic firearm which fires a continuous stream of rounds with one depression of the trigger.

The Manville is only semi-automatic (not automatic). It only fires one round with each depression of the

trigger.
