You can see the amount of production experience attained since the original episode. In other words, this ain't Othais' first Bodeo.

What do you guys think of the Abadie loading gate system?

12:30 Couple of reasons why you might want the gate to be steel instead of iron if it is actually steel: 1.) When working on small metal parts, a "stiffer" metal may be easier to machine because it won't flex so much when tools are interacting with it, too much flexing potentially causing warping or work-hardening or other effects that might compromise the integrity of the piece. The money spent making the steel is made up for by the reduced costs machining the steel because it doesn't have to be handled with the same care as iron might. 2.) Often overlooked when machining metal on an industrial scale, but you often have wastage from another part's fabrication that may just be the right size for a different part. A chunk of steel left over from something else could have been found to be convenient for the gate, and so they just used that instead of specifically creating iron stock. Not unlike cutting a smaller cookie of a different shape out of the dough left behind after you cut out a big cookie. Not saying these were the reasons, but they are possibilities that would fit with the limitations of the tooling and workers of the time.

Considering how much Othias fell in love with and continually referenced the Bodeo, I shouldn't be surprised he made this do-over.

@@taitonaito having it hidden tho is less of a burden, with the thing tumoring on one side you can get it tangled in anything tangleable. Spending half an extra second to pivot it out won't make your reloading faster, if anything the fact that you can rotate the cylinder with each pull of the trigger is gonna make it faster than reloading an SAA

The more I watch Beardy and Drach talk about Italy, the more amazed I am at how much they did with not all that much AND with their own resources. On this episode and the Vetterli-Vitali for like the 30th time.

I picked up a 1913 version of this about a month ago. Not knowing anything about it, I fell back on my knowledge of contemporary revolvers on condition. The pawn shop had it priced at 500, I got it out the door for 350. As I researched it, I realized how much I liked it. This video has cemented that. Thank you for great research. Now I need to get the other versions.

I love the Update episodes almost as much as the new content. Its always nice to see dedication to accurate scholarship even if it means going back and doing it again. You guys are exemplar in this!

I always find Italian engineering to be so interesting, in some points so ingenious and in others they were out of there minds.

Pistols were so militarily important to Italy that they survived 80 years and are still functional using Iron in the construction. I think they were more a feel good measure like bayonets in the modern era. It's cool to see that basic of a design that is reliable. Nice video.

I was in Italy in 1986 shortly after Gadaffi's goons shot up Rome Airport. I saw a grizzled old guy on guard in a village square with a large revolver and a belt full of short, fat cartridges. It surely had to be one of these.

Love to see a remake of some of the older episodes, especially anything from my father's country of origin. This really highlights how far the show has come, you guys have improved a huge amount! Even the early episodes are still great, but these are on a whole new level! I especially appreciate the longer run time with more history and technical detail.

New C&Rsenal...another beautiful way to start my week

Excellent research Othias. Very nice that you could show so many pieces with the differences.

You must imaging that we used the Bodeo Revolvers and variants in target Shooting at the distance of 25-50 meter since the '50s :)

I'm rewatching this 2 years later and I still think this was one of your most entertaining and educational episodes. The Bo-don't is a pun carved in history now.

Another great episode! Thanks guys, hope you're safe.

Good one to revisit because Othias was genuinely just happy to do this specific gat over again.

as always great episode, and more in depth than the first bodeo.

You guys are amazing. Thankyou.

Gosh, these remakes make me want for a new episode on the revolver mle. 1892 .

Another old revolver episode! Keep em coming!

I am fairly convinced the folding trigger/lack of a trigger guard was there to allow use of the pistol with gloved hands.

I'm a simple man. I see a new C&Rsenal video I click. I can sleep later.

I never heard of or saw one of these until today, and I am not referring to this video. I saw this revolver today at a gun show. Tonight, I was watching youtube videos without any thought at all to researching this revolver and having completely forgotten seeing it earlier. I just happened to glance at the list of "suggested" videos on the right side of the screen and saw a shape I thought I recognized. Eerie!! I probably should have bought the gun!

Revolver actions are an interesting study. One thing that I have noticed is that it seems some ideas seem to pop up in different countries at or around the same time. One thing we do have to remember is arms were shown at the world's fair, where ideas were shown and shared. I think some people did what you are suggesting and either traveled around to different countries or spent time at the world's fair to get ideas to patten in a country where their wasn't a patten for that idea, then either updated it or just copied it and sold it as their idea. Also, rebounding hammers have been in long guns for awhile, wanting in in a hand gun to prevent primer drag is something they would want for sure.

Thanks guys . Love it all . Told a friend I was going to order some merch now he want's a t.. his wife wants a t Another friend wants a hat. Wait what do I get? Hope your both very well we do appreciate the great history and your dedication.

Great video! Greetings from Italy!

Love the redo episodes

good work yet again!

Another ingenious design! I bet its a trip telling yourself it's ok to pull the trigger when it is pointed at your feet for loading!

thank you for your content

god as someone who loves learning firearms mechanisms and wants to make his own stuff I'm in awe at the simplistic beauty of the bodeo

Posting a way to fix a Bodeo revolver here, because I found a really weird problem they can run into that I managed to fix on mine. And there is nowhere else to post this. Bodeo revolvers have a rubber spacer in the hammer that pushes against the hammer nose. It can dry up and degrade over time. Just cut a piece off the sole of an old boot in about the same shape and put it in the hammer, it'll fix almost all jamming and trigger pull issues.

Wonderfull! More Italian beauty.

They've been teasing us for 3 years, the wait for the 1911 is killing me. Ian did the g11 and the pancor jackhammer already.

Man, watching this 2 years later is a tad rough. Othias has learned so much!

This is why top 10 revolvers & pistols of WW1 lists need to happen, cause weird wacky choices like the Bodeo might make it into those

the remake i didnt know i wanted until now

I think this is one of the funniest episodes of the primer series and 2k likes are way under what this video deserves, you ungrateful fellow viewers.

something something comment... Love the show and keep up the great work.

The pug of guns is back! Yay!

I just picked one of these up 2 days ago lol. A first year of production “R-RAB D’ARMI, BRESCIA 1889” (only made them from 1889 - 91) with 90% original blue remaining. Too funny to see this video, I had never heard of them before and just stumbled across it as part of a Militaria deal. Such a coincidence lol.

Coming from the newer Bodeo side plate spring vise video, I just noticed the drawing for it in the patent shown at the bottom of 7:28. Pretty cool and I was a little surprised that it was missed until my hearing tuned back in as Othais was talking about the sort of brain pattern recognition shenanigans thag happens with revolver actions lol.

This gun in Italy is also well known for its appearance in the comic book Dylan Dog as the protagonist's gun... In London. Not even Dylan Dog can explain how it got there (he found it in a cave), but considering it still works well even when he has to have the ammo custom-made, it was a good choice.

"'You'll see this in the Reprocussion series' - oh yeah, where's my Walker at?!" - Quote from everyone on KZread in the whole world.

Thanks!

Othais, I love these guns too. Much like the Sten gun, I love the idea of such crude but simple guns having a major effect on the war effort. And unlike a Sten, I was able to buy an original fairly cheap! Now onto th Rast and Gasser

My favourite leg of lamb that I can't eat. Great to see this piece come back.

A super simple amalgamation of concepts already in use with other firearms, boiled down to the simplest system with as few parts as possible and made of inexpensive materials? Late 1800s Italian Glock revolver confirmed!

lovely pistol design and OMG every variant produced even by the Spanish..... this is why I am a Patron

@sunbeam8866

Жыл бұрын

I have a number of Belgian pinfires, and none have as heavy a trigger, or hammer, or are as awkward to operate as my two Bodeos. My pinfire grips are also a much better design than those on a Bodeo. With it's solid trigger & trigger-guard, I'd even bet Mae would prefer shooting my 11mm Pinfire, over a Bodeo!

Good video

Surprised to see so many Bodeos covered in a single episode. Really was primed for this one after episodes released prior to this date. I love these revolvers, but gosh do I have some conflicting feelings. Oh well, much to muse or read on with.

I sorta wish that the patreon plug you put in the beginning was professionally animated... It's just such a lower quality graphic than the rest of those you use in the series. I love watching these, and honestly the bell icon irks me. Other than that this is top notch. (PS) I actually preferred the 2d animations of yore. Although they gave a less detailed idea of how the guns work, they really visually fit the series better.

I do love this pistol so much I dream of owning one someday

Goddamnit Othias I was about to go to bed

The Bodeo revolver - the gun that finally led to Mae getting bleeped.

Does the loading gate have cammng surfaces that interact with other steel components? If so then steal construction would be necessary in order to prevent premature wear and to allow the indexing feature to continue to work properly.

Apparently Im First! Crazy love for what you guys do!

I enjoy the history

Yes, I think it was a 'Fred' type of handgun!:) Semper Fidelis

A re-do? Some likes the Bodeo really, really much. 😘

Did you make the ammunition or can it be purchased in Italy? It's hard to beat the Smith & Wesson and Webley top break revolvers manufactured around this time.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Some revolver love, I see
