Pistols very much predate the 1800s lmao
While not thoroughly informed on gun evolution, definitely agree! They were clearly used in the 1500s onward, at least for European usage. 1806 simply marks a year of notable military pistol production (like the Harpers Ferry model) although maybe others?
Yeah; I thought of Hamilton
Year 1804. Close.
I immediately thought of 15th century hand cannons and had a ‘hmmm’ moment myself. Not even sure those were the first.
risks one must take for a meme
It’s not a meme, this is a historical photo from 1806 showing a very depressed man and shame on you for making a joke of it!
Bullseye my friend
Yeah that looks dangerous as fuck… He’s basically transferring all the energy of his legs pushing into however big the end of that arrow is, and right at the back of his skull.
I hope that bow is actually really loose and it just looks funny but people are dumb as fuck
That’s what I’m choosing to believe. I know some people out there truly are that dumb, but it feels more likely that they’d just use a very loosely strung bow with no tension for the meme.
For real. That bottom pic kinda horrifies me.
I’m sure the safety is on
If it doesn’t kill you the first time, pull the arrow out and try again.
No one tell them about rope or high places.
But funny meme
