This week I tackle the often requested topic of the historical accuracy of f*rearms in RDO. To research this topic I used the 1898 Sears & Roebucks catalog, the Library of Congress Archive, the British Newspaper Archives, the New York Times Archives, various websites, and the book, 'The G*nning of America: Business and the Making of America's G*n Culture,' by Pamela Haag.

Topics Include: The history of bicycle g*ns; Attacks on bicyclists; Comparison of RDO price to the historical price of the LeMat; Cattleman; Double-Action; Mauser; The Volcanic Repeater & its history; Evans; Lancaster; Litchfield; Varmint; Double-barrel; Pump-action; Repeating; Semi-Auto; History of the Gatling; Maxim; Colt Browning 1895; Attaching one to a bicycle.

About Man vs History:
Man vs History is a YouTube channel that endeavors to combine both education and entertainment, specifically related to history. While the focus of the channel will expand beyond analyzing the historical accuracy of RDO, for the time being, there's still more quality videos to come on the topic.

For the past decade I've been history professor at the college level. The knowledge and skills I acquired through my educational journey and profession are put to work in the creation of these videos, allowing me to locate rare primary source materials, analyze them carefully, and coherently deliver the content in an entertaining and educational manner. For each one I conduct an immense amount of research, scouring American and British archives, books, and scholarly journal articles. Gratefully, my profession also grants me access to a network of historical experts & specialists including authors, university professors, and museum curators. I hope you enjoy the end result!
