This video explores the Afghan Traditional Jezail, a unique rifle historically used by Afghan tribal fighters. Though originating in Persia, the Jezail is most recognized by its distinctive curved buttstock. Each Jezail is a handmade, one-of-a-kind weapon, typically constructed from salvaged or traded components. These rifles feature long, rifled barrels and are chambered in calibers ranging from .50 to .75 inches. Unlike American flintlock long rifles designed for hunting, the Jezail was built for warfare, maintaining significant symbolic importance despite its obsolescence.

This video explores two London-made Lorenzoni repeating flintlock pistols from the mid-1700s. The Lorenzoni system, a precursor to modern repeating firearms, featured internal magazines for powder and projectiles, allowing a shooter to reload and recock the action with a lever mechanism. While offering unprecedented firepower for its era, the system's complexity made these pistols expensive and difficult to produce reliably. The video highlights the ingenuity of gunsmiths like Kalthoff and Lorenzoni in developing this early repeating technology.
