This video reviews 'International Arms Review Number One,' a compilation book published by JX Company. The book focuses on lesser-known firearms from various eras, including early self-contained cartridges like the Dry Needle Gun and Pin Fire, Germanic developments like the Verge Rifle and Mauser Zigzag Revolver, and post-WWII assault rifle evolution with models like the Yungman Model 49 and Gett 06. It also covers the FG 42 and a specific Warner Arms manufactured Schwarzlose pistol. The reviewer highlights the book's value for its overview of uncommon firearms, noting that articles were written decades ago when these guns were more common.
