Closely watching the ultra slow-mo footage I noticed it actually had a dual effect. When Brandon punched the test dummy in the head and set off the .38 special, it blew about a 7-8 cm hole in the skull with quite a messy blowback. However I then noticed that the pistol sticking out from the Sedgley (the trigger) then entered the hole in the skull and stirred a bit around inside it. So not only does it produce a massive point blank .38 special bullet hole in the skull, but directly after that the piston entered the bullet hole and scrambled the brain just like one of those captive bolt guns they use to humanely kill cattle with. Like they thought; "the chance of surviving a .38 special point blank straight to the forehead is already low, but we want to make sure it's ZERO"...

This was the description I heard of these in a magazine article nearly forty years ago. It would have been "Handgunner" magazine in the UK. The idea being that stay behind Japanese troops were jumping out on airfield construction crews who couldn't practically carry carbines or deploy pistols from holsters fast enough to respond before being stabbed. So few were made because they weren't found to be all that practical and the war was very nearly over. For a bit of silent death, OSS were more likely to "borrow" a WELROD from their cousins in SOE as this is hardly a concealed weapon nor subtle in use. Interesting demonstration though.

Well, that's what they SAY it's for. Because they don't want to admit it was really an OSS assassination weapon. It's way too clumsy and dangerous for a Seebee weapon (those guys have WORK to do when they hit the shore). I'm pretty sure the idea is that you walk around some European country (cold so you can have it concealed in your coat), and then body-punch your target. Their clothing will help muffle the sound of the shot and the gasses will be channeled into the wound where they will make it exponentially worse. Brandon used this for head-punching (as they did in Inglorious Basterds), but it was noisy because they head is bony and round, and there's nothing to muffle the sound of the shot. But a clothed body would be something else entirely (you're basically using the body as a silencer).

My grandfather hated that gun for 2 reasons. Post WW2 he was in a gun prototype program that took different guns from WW2 and “upgrade” or create from. He hated that $100,000 in 1947 went to upgrading that glove gun and that so many dogs were killed in the testing of that weapon. Out of the 3 tested upgrades, there was one with a 3 rounds mini revolver. The weirdest upgrade was to many the barrel longer and “trigger knock” longer too. The United States Army thought one day Special Forces could have one of those guns in .45 Caliber and hold at least 3 rounds. Only 1 working prototype was made and it weighed about 5 pounds more than the original.

@@CheekyMenace That makes absolutely no logical sense. In an emergency fumbling to put on a 1 shot glove instead of grabbing a pistol or rifle makes legitimately zero sense. If you're already wearing the glove for either a mission or it's a work glove in case you're ambushed it would make sense to be wearing a glove on your other hand as well. Unless this was specifically for assassin's which could have a hand in a pocket or otherwise hidden so the glove wouldn't be seen.

@@QargZer I'm not sure what you're confused by... While working, they wore one work glove without it and one with it in case of an emergency that they are attacked hand to hand which the Japanese would try to do in WW2. Working with two gloves that have firing mechanisms protruding out the front would be even more uncomfortable and a huge risk of misfire. It's a last resort type thing. The original glove gun is stamped with "US Navy" and supposedly they were meant for the Seabees which is their Construction Battalion.

in case anyone's wandering WHY this gun is almost unheard of and WHAT they were thinking making this thing, this gun was made for paratroopers, so that way if you were captured you could hold your hands up, feign surrender (lotta warcrimes went on in WW2) and punch gun your captor in the face and steal THEIR weapon. The reason this didn't work and why they weren't consistently used is because I BELIEVE (don't quote me on this) it was developed for the island hopping campaign, and the japanese sent capture parties of 2 for paratroopers, so if you tried to punch gun one of them, the other would shoot you dead before you could seize the weapon and fight back, and a captured paratrooper tended to prefer that to being a dead paratrooper.

That sounds a bit farfetched and fantastical.

They made .22 LR high standards with integral suppressors that would be more practical and yet still impractical for "oh whoops, I'm being captured" situations.

The Sedgely (may have spelled it wrong) was intended to be used by Marines and US Army Soldiers during WWII as a holdout weapon, which could be semi-easily concealed using their uniform. More specifically, if a soldier was captured by the Germans or Japanese, it would give them one chance to either neutralize the captor enemy and secure a weapon or escape, or to at least go down swinging (literally), and hopefully kill somebody who was somewhat important. If I remember correctly, there are no records which prove it was ever officially issued to anyone, nor that it was ever used. It does, however, remain one of the coolest fucking things to ever exist

@@yokaioni7863 3 ways: hunting, sports, collecting. Collecting is hard and expensive. You need to define what you want beforehand. Like a certain time in history, country, types of guns etc. Hunting is also tricky. You need to get a license by an exam. On paper and on the gun range to prove your knowledge and skills. Sport shooting is also hard in Germany. You need to be in a gun club for at least 12 months. Then you are allowed to own your own guns. But you are forced to be an active shooter to keep the license. Beside all this you need to lock your guns in a heavy safe. Both, short and long guns. You will have a background check before you get your guns and from then every three years, and you have to pay for it of course. If you're threatening someone, guns are gone. If you drive and drink, guns are gone, if you beat someone up, guns are gone. If you're even drunk on the streets they can claim that you are not responsible enough to own guns (more a theoretical case). But my point is, its hard. Yes, and no carry at all. There is also a license available to carry. But not for normal guys. Politicians and people who can prove a threat "above average".

Take a shot every time Brandon says, "Actually." As always, Brandon actually makes another kickass video about an actually badass gun. I was actually wondering if that gun would ever actually be in a movie. I'm a bit of a Military arms nut. WW2 was actually one Hell of an era for crazy ass guns. So, now that Mr. Tarantino actually put this piece of military armament from history in a movie. I can only actually hope for more of history's weird & actually unknown guns, to be shown in future movies. & yes, I'm actually doing a shot, every time I say actually. It's actually not a good idea to actually take a shot every time Brandon & I actually say, "actually." If you do, you WILL actually get VERY FKd Up. So don't actually take a shot every time Brandon says "actually," if you are actually going to actually drive. Actually, drinking & driving is actually not a smart thing to actually do. So, in all actuality, don't actually do it. I wonder if I should actually post this comment?? I am actually very FKd Up, so, actually, why not??

Thanks for showing this off. I'd read about this firearm in the past, but I had assumed it was intended to be pressed into the victim discreetly, rather than struck. But it turns out, you have to actually hit it with some force to fire it, it's not like it has a spring loaded hammer, with the plunger acting as a trigger. If it weren't for this video, I wouldn't have known how it actually works/is intended to be used. It's a bit of a surprise that the usage in Inglorious bastards was actually pretty accurate, you just punch the target in the head.

If he was punching normally (without the sedgley), that would certainly do the job, but here, it's just like the detonator on the MK14 torpedo: the motion is not in-line with the mechanism, and therefore, malfunctions! I highly recommend Drachinifel's video on the MK14 torpedo, btw!!! great fun!!!
