About

I am a forensic expert witness, and thought some of my experiences related to ballistics might be worth sharing. I created BackyardBallistics to provide interesting and (hopefully) entertaining videos regarding the science of guns and ballistics, and also related topics coming from my engineering background. In the process, I will also feature lots of cool guns I have at my disposal for my job. Whoever you are and wherever you live, I would really love to share my experience with you!

This Pistol was found together with the two Sten Guns I featured in my very first video on this series, and I'm now finally taking the time to put it back in shape. It's a Lange Pisole 08, also known as the Artillery Luger since it's intended use was to equip artillery crews. It sports a much longer barrel than regular P08s, and a holster that can also act as a stock, transforming the pistol into a carbine. But how will it fare at the range after a century of neglect? In this video I'm also explaining what temper colors are and a couple ways to obtain them, including a process known as nitre bluing. *A special thanks goes to Michelangelo Neri Orliani for helping in the making of this project* If you can and want to help me making videos like this, you can directly support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/backyardballistics with your help, I can keep making educational content without having to give up my freedom of speech to the advertiser's needs.
