All right.
Guys?
Who's going to the gun range with me?
There's a lady in Boulder City, she just called me.
She has a Nock Volley gun.
This is possibly one of the coolest guns ever made.
It's got seven barrels.
At least that's what she says it is.
Did you say seven barrels?
Seven barrels that all go off at once.
CHUMLEE: I'm in.
Sharpshooter of the century right here.
Do not bring him to the gun range.
Chum has way too much stuff to do around here.
RICK: Come on, Chum.
I have to have someone fire it.
So basically you want someone to shoot
it because you're yellow belly.
RICK: No, I want to shoot this thing.
Come on, Chum.
Let's go.
We go Alex meeting us out there, too.
There's work to do here.
RICK: When did you turn into the Old Man?
Come on, Chum.
CHUMLEE: Peace, sucker!
COREY: Oh, you will pay for this, Chum.
[music playing]
RICK: A customer called the shop and she has a Nock Volley gun.
She lives in Boulder City, and the gun
range is right in the middle, so I
figured that's where we'd meet.
I have never seen one of these in person,
and I've been buying and selling guns for over 30 years.
That is a big gun.
[laughs]
Where in the hell did you get this?
It's kind of a crazy story.
I go to the range all the time with my girls and shoot,
and there's this guy, I guess.
He really likes me and he gave it to me.
RICK: OK. All right.
The weirdness of the world. The weirdness of the world.
TRACY: Yeah, the weird.
It's actually a Volley gun, but people now refer
to it as the Nock Volley gun.
I've actually never seen one in person, only behind some glass
in the museum.
RICK: They were just pure insanity, to put
seven barrels in one gun.
It's a shotgun on a lot of drugs.
[laughter]
It's an incredible gun.
So have you fired this thing?
TRACY: I have not.
I was nervous to shoot it because of the amount of kick
that it probably has.
RICK: Well, you literally got hit in the shoulder
with a giant sledgehammer.
TRACY: Yeah.
ALEX: That actually was the chief complaint about them.
They were designed actually for British warships.
They were used in the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars.
Back then, sea combat--
the idea was to capture the other boat.
You didn't want to sink it because that
was a boat that you could use in your Navy.
So they get up alongside and they have boarding parties.
And as the boarding parties came over the deck, these guys--
who had these Volley guns-- were up in the rigging
and they would shoot down with seven barrels thinking
that it would clear the decks.
[gun shots]
But the problem was seven barrels had a tremendous amount
of recoil and the guys were actually
dislocating their shoulders.
And the other thing is, with, you know,
100 grains of powder in each barrel-- that's 700 grains--
the flame that came out of the end of this
was like 12 feet long.
So they were setting their own ships on fire.
So pretty quickly, these went out of service.
RICK: OK.
So it's all right with you if we shoot them?
TRACY: Yeah.
Sure.
OK.
I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
[laughter]
Hopefully it doesn't blow up.
ALEX: Yeah.
You need to be very careful with things like this.
We have no idea what condition it's in inside.
I'll take a look at it and hopefully
we'll be able to shoot it.
RICK: OK.
So you want to go grab your stuff?
Yeah, I'll go grab my stuff and I'll be right back.
All right.
So I inspected it.
The chambers are clear, the action's working well.
So I'm feeling comfortable that we
can actually shoot this thing.
CHUMLEE: I definitely want to shoot it.
ALEX: Why don't you let me shoot it?
I think people will me less than they'll miss you.
And then I--
I don't where I shoot it, as long as I shoot it.
This is a true piece of history.
I'm like-- I get excited about it
because I don't get to see things
quite like this really ever.
And you never get to shoot them.
All right. - All right.
Here we go.
ALEX: Here we go.
[music playing]
[gun shots]
RICK: Oh!
[laughter]
ALEX: Well, I don't think I hit it.
I think I hit the barrel.
RICK: [laughs]
Alex fired it, didn't even come close to the target.
[gun shot]
So it's going to be fun to watch Chum shoot this.
[laughs]
Good luck, Chum.
Hope you like your fingers.
[gun shots]
[laughs]
Yeah!
Yahoo!
CHUMLEE: Boom!
That's how you do it.
Yeah.
TRACY: It's cool.
Nice work, Chum.
That's what I'm talking about.
[gun shot]
Only one here who can hit the target.
You'd have cleared the deck.
CHUMLEE: Hey, it's something I'm good at.
I usually clear the dance floor.
[laughter]
So what do these things go for?
I would value this at $35,000 to $40,000.
RICK: OK.
I mean, what's your best price on it?
Um.
I would take $38,000 for it.
You'd take less than that.
It was a gift.
I'll give you $28,000 for it.
I have to make money.
I think that's a little bit low.
How about $30,000?
You know what?
I'll give you the 30 grand for it.
- Great. - Cool.
Thank you so much.
Just bring it with you over to the pawn shop.
We'll do some paperwork and I'll give you a check
or cash or whatever you want.
Sounds great.
Thank you so much.
Cool, I'll see you there.
TRACY: OK, see you there.
Cool.
I got a gun, dude.
Oh, man.
I feel like Santa came to town.
[laughter]
RICK: I think I made a great deal.
I usually don't get giddy over things.
I'm a little bit giddy over this gun.
There's just so few of them out there.
So I'm going to do all right with this.
I think I'll get close to $40,000 for it.
What do you think, Chum?
CHUMLEE: I think you're a little chicken.
You should've shot it.
RICK: I'm not chicken.
CHUMLEE: You're definitely yellow belly.
RICK: Oh shut up, Chum.
