This Q&A session from Forgotten Weapons covers a wide range of firearms-related topics. Ian McCollum discusses the evolution of red dot sights, the importance of blood lead level testing for shooters, and the nuances of various historical and modern firearms, including the 5.56 NATO cartridge's twist rate evolution, the M14's manufacturing issues, and the challenges of polymer-cased ammunition. He also touches on niche subjects like underwater firearms, electromagnetic rifles, and the future of handgun design.

This video compares the suppressed performance of a Hi-Point Yeet Cannon against a Glock 34. The test reveals that the Glock 34, utilizing a Browning tilting barrel action, is audibly quieter and experiences less gas blowback when suppressed compared to the blowback-operated Hi-Point Yeet Cannon. The choice of suppressor caliber also impacts blowback, with a larger caliber suppressor reducing gas expulsion from the Hi-Point.

This review from Forgotten Weapons introduces the Elysien pistol, a Czech-made firearm distinguished by its Art Nouveau design and premium materials like magnesium and titanium. Expert Ian McCollum highlights its aesthetic appeal over practical application, positioning it as an exclusive collector's item with a limited production run and a price point between 5,000 and 10,000 Euros. The pistol utilizes a classic Browning tilting barrel system.

This video commemorates the life and contributions of Gaston Glock, the engineer behind the iconic Glock firearm. It details his background in polymers and synthetic materials, his innovative approach to firearm design, and the revolutionary impact of the Glock 17. The content highlights the pistol's simplicity, polymer frame, striker-fired mechanism, and the genius of incorporating the Browning tilting barrel design, which significantly influenced modern firearm manufacturing.

This Q&A session covers a wide range of firearms topics, from the least pleasant guns to shoot (Liberator, pistol-grip 12 gauge) to favorite showcased firearms (Howa Type 100). Discussions delve into cartridge development (6.5mm vs. 30 caliber, 280 British, 8x33mm Kurz, 41 AE, 38 Rimfire), firearm design principles (cylinder gap, blowback actions, hexagonal barrels, suppressors), military designations, and historical conflicts where rifle technology played a significant role (Austro-Prussian War). The host also touches on practical advice for two-gun shooting in restrictive states and personal collection goals.

This video provides a slow-motion analysis of the Star Model B Super pistol, highlighting its operational mechanics. It functions similarly to a 1911 but lacks a grip safety, utilizing Browning's tilting barrel locking system. The analysis details the firing cycle, including hammer drop, bullet exit, barrel unlocking, slide reciprocation, and reloading, while also noting a mild hangfire observed in surplus ammunition.

This video reviews John Potocki's book on the Colt Model 1905 automatic pistol. The book details the 1905's development as a .45 caliber adaptation of the earlier Model 1900, driven by the need for more effective ammunition during the Philippine Insurrection. It covers production timelines, design changes, and includes the full Thompson-LaGarde report that influenced the .45 ACP cartridge and the eventual Model 1911.
