This video focuses on the Hungarian Frommer Stop pistol. While the title is direct, the description primarily serves as a call to action for viewing a full documentary and supporting the creator through Patreon and Substar. It also promotes merchandise available on their website. The core content of the video itself is not detailed beyond the subject firearm.

This video dissects the Hungarian Frommer Stop pistol, highlighting its unique long recoil operating system. It features detailed slow-motion analysis of the action cycle, showcasing the barrel and bolt moving rearward together. The review also touches upon its historical context and technical specifications, including its .32 ACP chambering.

The Frommer Pistolen-MG Model 1917 was an experimental Austro-Hungarian machine pistol, a functional copy of the Italian Villar Perosa, developed by FEG. It modified Frommer Stop pistols to fire from an open bolt, mounted them on a tripod, and used 25-round magazines in .32 ACP. Despite its unique design, it was not adopted due to concerns about reliability with long magazines and the cartridge's limited effectiveness.

The Hungarian Frommer Stop is a 1.3 lb, 6.5-inch semi-automatic pistol chambered in .32 Frommer or .32 ACP, utilizing an 8-round magazine. It features a long recoil action, resulting in more snap than expected, and a mushy trigger. Ergonomic issues include tall sights, a narrow grip, and a potential for hammer bite and jams if the grip is held too high.

This video showcases the Femaru 37M pistol, a historical semi-automatic firearm manufactured by Fémáru, Fegyver- és Gépgyár (FÉG). Keith Ford of Brownells Gun Tech presents this rare U.S. find, highlighting its design by Rudolf Frommer, the last gun he designed before his passing. The 37M served as the standard-issue sidearm for the Hungarian army between 1937 and 1944. The video details its chambering in .380 ACP (9mm Kurz), a unique barrel removal system for field stripping, and its robust construction. Production of approximately 180,000 units, including a .32 ACP variant for the German military during WWII, ceased in 1944. Keith's example is noted as an excellent condition "bring back" from an American G.I.

The long recoil operating system involves the barrel and bolt locking together and recoiling as a unit. This system's primary advantage is safety, as the long travel ensures chamber pressure drops before unlocking. However, it often results in higher felt recoil due to the mass of the recoiling assembly and can have weaker ejection due to the case being expelled after the barrel returns forward.

This live-fire segment from C&Rsenal demonstrates the operation of the WWI-era Frommer Stop pistol. Mae, an experienced shooter, fires the pistol with both .32 ACP and .32 Frommer ammunition, showcasing its unique long recoil action in slow-motion. Target results at 30 feet are presented for both ammunition types, with no significant difference noted.

The Frommer Stop was a compact Hungarian semi-automatic pistol designed by Rudolf Frommer and produced by FEG. It utilized a complex long recoil operating system, chambered in proprietary cartridges like 7.65x17mm and 9x17mm. Despite its innovative design and significant WWI production, it was known for difficult field stripping and a sensitive action.

This documentary details the meticulous production process behind C&Rsenal's WWI firearms 'Primer' series. It highlights extensive research, safety checks, detailed photography using custom setups, and advanced 3D animation for demonstrating internal mechanics. The team emphasizes efficiency by filming multiple episodes at once and engages with the community post-publication.

The Frommer 1901 is a large, long-recoil pistol designed by Rudolf Frommer, featuring a rotating bolt and an integral 10-round magazine fed by stripper clips. Chambered in 8mm Roth, it was submitted for US military trials in 1904 but ultimately rejected due to its caliber, feeding mechanism, and lack of a clear empty-chamber indicator. Its complex design includes two separate recoil springs and a unique disassembly process.

This review delves into an extremely rare Frommer prototype semi-automatic rifle, a complex design by Rudolf Frommer of FEG. The rifle features a long recoil action with a rotating bolt, a unique spring-loaded bolt handle for easier clearing, and several unusual controls like a grip safety and a cocking indicator. Its complexity, similar to the Remington Model 8, likely contributed to its limited production and adoption.

The Steyr-Pieper Model 1909 is a unique .32 ACP pocket pistol with Belgian design origins and Austrian production, seeing limited WWI service. Its tipping barrel and unusual magazine notch for single-shot or semi-auto modes are notable features. While aesthetically interesting, range testing revealed significant recoil and reliability issues, including firing pin failures, leading to a later refurbished model with improved mechanics.
