Content

Yes, the regular program will be listed here in just a few hours.  But for now, enjoy this, our newest and worst series!  

This time we've tried to build something ultra light; a show that required the minimum effort to produce in order to stretch our minds and, hopefully, start making content IN ADDITION to Primer.

This is a prototype and will not be released to the public for a week, so let us know how you feel about it!

It's a Trap! 001: The DuPont Hand Trap

This lightweight series was thrown together for fun! It was made possible thanks to the support of our Patrons, so please consider joining them in helping us expand. https://www.patreon.com/CandRsenal https://www.subscribestar.com/candrsenal

I've seen those before, but never thought much about them. Now, I want one...

Malix007

Love it. Its nice to see you guys having a good time and cracking jokes, while covering, frankly a forgotten part of early sporting clay shooting. I will for sure enjoy watching these.

Chris Stochaj

That was a lot of fun, although the garage door spring and a bit of wire and cast iron construction makes me understand why Michael Caine and Robert Duvall were so eager to buy one that used a ratcheting lever to cock the action in Secondhand Lions

Ryan D Thorne

OSHA does not approve of that device. I personally approve of this video, and the others to follow.

Cobra Commander

Man that looks like a fun day at the range.

Ian F

After listening to one of the Unloaded episodes when you talked about these, actually seeing one really rams home how terrifying they are. People were tougher back then.

Gage

You know, I never even thought about the evolution of clay throwers, so I think that this is a good side series since no-one is recording this history. It seems linked to firearms history in bird hunting, which ties into american sporting history and american hunting

sea_dart

Mitchell made them? Did he stamp fake markings on them too? lol. Good vid on an obscure topic.

Clovis Chitwood

while the trap was cool, it was nice just seeing the three of you have a good time

David Hemsath

Doesn’t Bruno feel left out, not being asked to create an animation of the device? :) I wish I could remember what kind of hand thrower my dad had.

John Horton

That looks so dangerous. I’m buying one off eBay now.

Mae Responding: I've seen a few people now mention wanting one, would not be surprised if we just caused all the ones for sale to get bought up. They really are a fun toy to bring to the range.

WeakNinja661

That was a lot of fun to watch! I currently shoot trap & that contraption is terrifying. Glad we have automatic throwers now.

Brian Smith

That was a good video. That thing is terrifying. I have to wonder if it was even scarier back when the spring was new and stronger.

KF5TQN

A thing of beauty and a joy forever. And the clay slinger isn't bad either....

Gage
>>48277347

That could be a exclusive C&Rsenal merch item right there! "Now featuring the C&Rsenal patented metal face-masher! Give it to your friend, laugh as they struggle! Throw clays at your enemies! "

Greg Stachowski

Absolutely love this, from the obscure gadget to the lighter tone still with serious history behind it. More!

Leslie Alexander

this time, just don't do it wrong... words of wisdom from the peanut gallery

Samuel Pasche

No shooty shooty ? Still, it was interesting to take a look a this thing

David Herman

I always forget how little Mae is in comparison. Also I had no idea how this thing worked based on the fb post, and now I do. So I guess that's a win.

Jules Whicker

It was great to see you guys having fun, and the video was totally entertaining - the off-colour jokes near the end had me weeping with laughter - which is strange because as a 21st century citizen of the West I've been drilled to seize on every possible opportunity to be outraged at other people's behaviour on someone/something else's behalf. KUTGW!

John Boy

I like the concept, in comparison to the full course meal that is Primer, this is a nifty snack (and your shotgun takedown vids are pieces of candy).

Karl Abrahamson

Looking forward to the rest of the series! As for the jokes about kids, my dad made the same observation about what he was allowed to do, compared to what he allowed me to do. Turns out, he might have been a bit more replaceable.

Wayne Dygert

It's always a bit of a shock to see the scale differential when two sasquatches encounter a normal sized person. Great to see you guys having fun but a bit of a letdown to discover that Mae throws lol a girl!

Patrick Bartholomew

Loved it, the back. And forth between participants, the history of the item including pictures of old advertisements, all in one neat and somewhat tidy package. Great stuff, do more!

Andrey Gardner

Is the pilot for Determined Idiots? The lack of light box, animation, and a Kev-ersation instead of a Mae-verstion feels unfamiliar. I think it will be a great companion piece to the shotgun series. As an engineer by education I immediately want to analyze this contraption, and lack the necessary parameters to do so. Also, to put costs in perspective, how many shotgun shells or clays would $4 buy at the time? Lastly, why is there not a C&Rsenal hat that Mae could be demoing? It throws me off to see branding that is not yours or the artifact's during the presentation. If only there was some publicly accessible of vector art of the logo around...

Jake Samson

I'll be perfectly honest, hand trap+weird mechanical looking thing got me excited for some kind "sticking a broom handle in it and watching it get snapped off" kind of action. But this is nice too...

Guido Schriewer

just being goofy on the range. never gets old.

Steven Faiello

I'm going to second the 'how much is $4 worth today' and 'how many shotgun shells could this buy' comments. More close ups on the device itself would be nice too - seeing it in action is fantastic, but I miss the usually patented plastic pokey examination.

Zak
>>48298623

In 1913, $4 was about $105-$106. That's as far back as the internet will do inflation. A comparison to the shotgun itself, shells, and clays would be interesting.

Zak

I would have liked slightly more structured/formal history and operation segments, but the more informal and congenial tone of the rest of the video was fun. Great job!

John Fugedy

Enjoyed the fun. Great distraction and entertainment too. About the right length. Maybe Mae or Kevin take a shot at a clay with an era shotgun?

Tiger in man's clothing
>>48298623

The $4 isn't that bad when you consider that trap shooting was a rich man's sport at the time. Normal folk had to justify the cost of shells with food on the table while a 'rich' landowner has both disposable income for a trap like this, the clays, and the shells to shoot the clays without worrying about his next meal.

Anonymous

That looked like fun! We need an animation

Christopher Dooley

So... which is scarier, 6 rounds, rapid, through this thing, or a full clip through a 6.5mm Vetterli?

fi

Loved it and i am sure everybody who is a regular viewer will love it just for the fun you are having. Its addictive. I don't know how many new viewers you are going to get, but on the other hand you are aparently the very first in this nieche. If you could get more data later on sales numbers or something that visualizes the relevance of the different designs, it would be great. But i guess that kind of data is probably made of unobtainium in many cases. Last but not least, there is one very essetial part missing: the question we all want to get answered: "would you take that into battle?" ;)

Andrey Gardner
>>48321384

No semi pistol grip, hand guard, aperture sights, and it run as reliably smooth as a Mosin or refurb Nagant... I cannot imagine anything better than the softest yes.

Andrey Gardner
>>48298623

Inflation often does not reflect buying power, so knowing what an entry level gun, a case of ammo, and a box of clays cost at the time makes it relatable in a "would I spend 1/x of a gun or Y shells worth on it?"

Richard Anderson

Give the little lady a kewpie doll. Frankly have never seen a hand thrower that wasn’t an ouchie waiting to happen.

Robert Freligh

Great fun- thanks for taking the 'point' on this little segment of history. I am relatively new to the series and enjoy the format and depth of your presentations. I still haven't found out how to get to the new presentations. I am working up in order (up to the Lee-Enfield's) and am looking forward to your future work! PS- I would buy a hat.......

Alfred Gawron

I'll not win any popularity contest with thi post but there is no way I'll watch another 15 min. video of 3 people goofing around with a futon spring on a stick. A more comprehensive history combined with a short shooting demo of different models would be interesting but not this. Sorry.

Patrick Hunt
>>48298623

A quick Google says 100 shells would be around $1.88 and $3-4 would get you a most bare bones shotgun, or $12-25 would get you something name brand.

Mr. Lee

Very funny. That thing is horrid, I want one. It reminds me of an old wooden handled thrower I had; cocking was similarly terrifying and then you had to give it a baseball-bat grip, swing with the elbows and give it a good flick of the wrists at just the right moment, otherwise it might launch early or late or hang-fire. I looked for it after watching this but I think I broke down and threw it away.

Lowell Wong

Lord help you, if you have "furry" forearms.

Matthew

That was great! I own a DuPont hand trap, bayonet thrust, who knew. Now mine works too. I'm looking forward to the next video. I'll share this with the high school trap team I coach. I see new viewers on the horizon. Keep up the good work. P.S. Mae deserves a raise.

Dominic Amann

I need one of these! I have a shotgun and 30 acres, and I would like to learn trap without the embarrassment of a club situation!

Matt

So happy you posted this on the YouTube for the world to see. What a hoot. That contraption is bonkers; can’t wait for the next one.

Eric Mueller

Another fine product brought to you by the Carcano Folding Bayonet Mechanism Factory...✌

Kimzter

I'm coming in a bit late to this but I have a question . There are several of these with different names on them, I have one with Dominion instead of Dupont. Were they all manufactured by one company with a different name substituted as required?
