Oh this is going to be G U D good!

21:20-ish, "eleven and one quarter inch in weight..", trade for length? :) Yup! Super props to Bruno, those animations really help bring actions to life and these two were no exception. (Loving this video!)

Guido Schriewer

those are GORGEOUS! very simple yet so smart and fascinating lockwork. very cool. one just has to love that sound of a cartridge being chambered. like a shotgun. trigger can't be worser than your plasticfantastic (such a great channel cause.. NONE OF THOSE HERE) with what was it? nypd trigger? lancester OVER the enfield all the way but... give me a sw no3 44-40 or colt frontier. have two. 476 and 380 worth 8rd ny reload them. for rather hunting backup I would take that 4 barrel over a revolver (of those days). 4 for sure if some mean hairy clawed thing jumps from a catlength distance.

Guido Schriewer

yeah so simple. two things. unless one is a dumb boy fingering belongings of others while holding a horse and.... too complicated for him still.

Guy K

An elegant weapon for a more civilised age . Well... if you like Empires ...

Guido Schriewer

thanks bruno. loved the animations. well explained.

David Fox

Interesting segment. Besides the advantage of having no cylinder gap, presume the Lancaster came into its own in .577.

Gerald King

Very interesting. The 4 barrel is a work of art. Presentation was excellent as always. Thanks guys. I always enjoy your videos more than pod cast. I know they are harder to make and I can't explain why I like the videos more, people are weird.

Jcxmas

Very cool guys!!!

Philip Brucker

Derringers on steroids...aka Lancasters.

Troy Janda

Another great video. I kind of wish that you guys would compare these guns to the single action Army in your discussions. If for no other reason, then when most American think of 1880s revolver. They think western and colt SAA. Now we all know that is factually obtuse. But I could tell you I might want a Lancaster over a five shot single action only revolver. And who doesn’t love John Cleese with his Enfield revolver in Silverado!

Justin Bulling

Just so you know Ballistol cans are only red and green in North America. In the rest of the world they are white with a red label and a tiny bit of green at the bottom.

John Dallman

Thanks, Bruno. Separate question: does the recoil of the Lancasters vary at all by the barrel position that is firing?

Grant Janzen

Thank you, Bruno. The animations really made it easy to understand the actions.

Andy Belcher

Probably the loveliest pistols I have ever seen, particularly the 4 barrel
