This YouTube video documents the completion of the 1000-round trial phase for a Kimber firearm and announces that the next phase will involve 2000 rounds. The content focuses on the ongoing testing and reliability trials of this specific Kimber model, with a commitment to further rigorous testing.

This video details the Stargate Command's trials comparing an upgraded MP5 with modern Magpul furniture and an Aimpoint optic against the long-serving P90. The MP5 benefits from improved ergonomics and a better red dot sight for CQB, while the P90 excels with its capacity and fast follow-up shots. Both weapons performed reliably through various shooting stages.

This video examines the W+F Bern C42 and E22 prototype rifles, which competed against SIG in the trials for the Swiss Army's Stgw 90. Despite innovative features like quick-detach barrels and modularity, these rifles were ultimately rejected due to accuracy issues and design flaws, such as a problematic charging handle. The E22 used a proprietary 6.45mm round, while the C42 chambered the standard 5.56mm NATO.

The W+F Bern P43, a Swiss prototype, was developed as a cost-effective alternative to the Luger, heavily influenced by the Browning High Power design. It competed in Swiss military trials from 1940, showcasing evolutions like larger frames and increased magazine capacity (up to 16 rounds). While ultimately losing to the SIG P210, the P43 prototypes explored various safety and magazine configurations.
