I duck hunted with a model 97 Winchester when I was a kid. With 3â magnum shells it kicked more than the blanks shown lol
The 1917 revolvers were pretty good guns.I wouldnt feel underarmed with either the 1897 or 1917 today.Imo the 1897, even without the bayonet, looks plain mean
Corporal Alvin York was a total badass. He took out a German battalion of 35 machine guns, killed 32, and captured 132 with only a M1917 Enfield rifle and a M1911 pistol!
Close up of a 1911 isn’t even a 1911. Ballester Molina. History Channel quaitly, ie low bar. Youtube filled with better quality control and expertise.
6:27 – good lord assistant gunner, it isn’t a pull starter on your dads lawnmower.

One of the best stories Ive heard props to MOH York
This just makes me want to get another shotgun.
Ya gotta wonder about the 36 thumbs downvoting for this video. Ya think they might be vegians?
I tried firing a shotgun after being put in a wheelchair and it was comical. My first shot sent me ass over apple cart backwards. Should have seen that coming. Second shot was better, as I turned the chair to an angle, but having no working abs didn’t bode well and I almost went over anyways. The next thought was to throttle down and try a lesser guage and found I could only handle a .410 w/ any safety and accuracy and gun control is, after all, about accuracy, right?
If he says ummmm one more time!
You DO realize that in your discussion of the 1911, at 4:47 you show the picture of the Argentine Ballister Molina? This adaptation of the original 1911 using a pivot trigger and distinctive serrations on the slide is unmistakable. I would think a fancy production budget would do a better job.
Loser complaining about the shotgun being unfair, sounds a lot like the Chinese when they don’t get their way.
I’ve read that some 1897 shotguns used in WWI were in the riot configuration without the heat shield and bayonet lug. Is this true? I recently bought one made in 1918 for $400. Also, is it ok to shoot modern buckshot or high brass game loads through it? Sorry, I keep finding conflicting info and don’t know who to trust
Hear me out… Clint Eastwood directs "York"
My grandpa blew a Germans head off with one of these and then killed 2 more Germans with a 1911.i still got the 1911
Passager pigeon 1914-1918 c.parakeet this weapon
talks about the 1911 has a Ballester Molina made in Argentina
Imagine you being a German soldier in WW1 and a American with a shotgun got to your trench and saying "adios"
Introduces flamethrowers, mustard gas, serrated bayonets, and unrestricted submarine warfare
*Complains about American bois with shooty sticks*
2:13 dudes a woman now. your welcome
I have a Mossberg pump action shotgun, best gun everđ
The 1893 wasnât the first working pump shotgun the spencer slide action shotgun has that honor though the Winchester was the first commercially successful pump shotgun
@ 4:41 – Of course whatâs shown is NOT the 1911 model used during WWI (M1911). Whatâs shown is a 1911A1 which wasnât adopted until 1924. And @ 11:03 – Just to be clear, not Remington Arms Company but Remington Rand Company – the typewriter company. Remington Rand was one of the largest producers of 1911A1 for WW2 also.
I own both lol
I thought the Browning A-5 was the trench broom.
So shot guns were evil but the Germans could use nerve gas?
US shotgun vs German SMG.
Model 97 was the perfect weapon for trench warfare at the time and a damn fine weapon.. Like ducks on the pond.
The first shotgun is of dutch design and it’s known as the blunderbuss
bro that gun not only survived wars but loved every damn second of it. pump that shit like you’ve got a pair. oh god it killed me inside to see that…….
the real life cotton hill
I believe they tied their legs also so they couldn’t run away
Most people never heard of the 1893 Model.
The guy’s story about the US in the Philippines fighting insurrectionists is false. The US was fighting against Filipino independence fighters who had been fighting against the Spanish. The US massacred over two hundred thousand Filipinos. It is also the first record of the US using waterboarding. Mark Twain wrote strongly against the US invasion.
In a war filled with machine guns, flame throwers, and poison gas, the 1897 combat modified (they added a heat shield, bayonet lug, and some other mods for the ones they gave soldiers that altered them from civilian models) shotgun in use by the Americans was what made the Germans protest. THAT should give you an idea just how effective it was in WW1.
A shotgun was cried about. Not a bullet hose, a fire sprayer, or poison brutality. A shotgun.
Are we not going to talk about the dude pretending to shoot lol 9:37
Thought this was Garand Thumb when I clicked on it lol. Still good.
The "1911" pictured is a gun made in Argentina, I believe it is a Ballester Molina, a kind of 1911 clone but engenieered way after WW1 was over…..
Sgt. York sounds so thoughtful and intelligent, why did Gary Cooper portray him as and ignorant illiterate hick? They did sgt. York a huge disservice,man was a hero. He died broke in a veterans home due to â back taxes â took everything he had. A damn travesty.
It’s a thing of beauty, a work of art. And deadly to our enemies!
Because NOTHING says "EFF YOU AND THE GUY RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!" like a12 ga. with a bayonet on it, that’s why.
Unless, of course, it’s the 40mm pump action grenade launcher by China Lake Arms…..
[yeah. look that bad boy up for your ‘bloop-gasm’ đ]
This narrator is useless
So not one of the 130 captured soldiers had a handgun and faked surrender to ambush the ONE person taking u P.O.W?
Damn that thing looks mean
Nice flashing tie
Have a couple model 12 love em.
LoooL….shotguns used because the USA still has never signed the Geneva convention even today.
Trench flints in WWI? Don’t watch that! Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB8__9I-NNk!
And You will learn, that they never saw action. All the depictions of dough boys with pump flints, possibly shooting german grenades out the sky, are pure farb, or less polite B.S..
"Inherited the Philippines" I didn’t know that the entire island of the Philippines were an object with no self identifying people. Sad…
