This video delves into the fascinating and cautionary tale of the Gibbs carbine, a breechloading, percussion-fired cavalry carbine patented in 1856. It highlights the immense challenges of firearm manufacturing, especially during wartime. The narrative follows the journey from Lucien Gibbs' patent to the creation of a company with William Brooks and WW Marston. Despite initial promise and a successful demonstration, production hurdles, including the difficulty of acquiring machinery and labor during the Civil War, led to significant delays. The involvement of New York Mayor George Opdyke brought some progress, but the story culminates in a dramatic riot and the destruction of the Phoenix Armory, resulting in the loss of machinery and completed firearms. Ultimately, only 1052 Gibbs carbines were ever produced.
