    Alt Title: "How all those duels that DON'T make it into history class go."
  • @kc.21k
    “Is that your bullet?” “I believe so yes” “It bounced off his chest” “So it’s a hit” Nope I’m invincible
  • Killjoy time: Historically, most duels ended with nobody shot, but both parties "satisfied" that they had dueled honorably.

    I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians broke into my house. "What the devil?" I said, as I grabbed my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blew a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he was dead on the spot. Drew my pistol on the second man and missed him entirely because it's smoothbore and I later found out that it nailed the neighbors dog. I had to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot. "Tally ho lads!" I yelled, as the grape shot shredded two men in the blast, the sound and shrapnel set off car alarms. I mounted my trusty war horse, Charles, and charged the last terrified rapscallion. Impaling him with my standard issue 2 foot bayonet. He bled out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds were impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
  • "The rules are simple, cause I left out like 15 of them." This line alone shows the actual research that went into this skit and I love it.
  • Whenever you make fun of revolutionary war dudes for standing in a firing line, remember they did that because you have a better chance of actually hitting a guy when like 20 guys all fire at the same time.
  • Part of why people solved duels with pistols was because there was far less fear of death then using swords and no matter how good you were both of you had the same chance of winning lol.
  • “I dropped my gun on a wet surface I gotta get a new one”. Caleb never misses
  • Andrew jackson was at a funeral once, and an assassin jumped out of the bushes with two pistols, both backfired, then andrew jackson pulled his gun which backfired, and then he proceeded to beat the assassin unconscious almost killing him with his cane.
  • "The rules are simple......cause I left out like 15 of them." Every hollywood medieval movie ever
  • My dad told me of an allegedly true story from Imperial Russia where one of the dualists was a doctor and knew that over 70% of deaths are caused by fibers from clothes getting inside you and causing contamination, so he showed up to a duel naked. After a series of good laughs and drinks, both parties became good friends.

    Honestly, the fact that they both fired 3 times without jamming is a miracle.
  • @Plabable.
    "What's your superpower?" "I'm immune from bullets" "Oh?" "Yeah but only ones from the 1800s" "GET OOOOOOUUT, GET OOOOOOOUT"
  • @2:13 It was actually considered barbaric to have more than 3 exchanges of shots, the fact that Caleb researched this is kinda crazy
  • @anydaynow
    This is why pirates carried as many pre-loaded pistols as possible. They did a lot of damage at mid to close range. But yeah, they sucked.
  • this man straight up disrespecting the other one, he really just said "I only brought enough gun powder for one shot"
