This is the very first chapter of a series about the first pistol of firearms history. This is an early wheel lock arquebus that was found in the 19th century in a bog near Komárom, Hungary. Today it is part of the collection of the Royal Armouries in Leeds, UK. You are the first to see this beauty in action after 500 years of silence.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
