This review of the Danuvia Forte VD-01, presented by Jonathan Ferguson of the Royal Armouries, highlights its unique helical magazine design, capable of holding 33 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Despite its 'brick-like' appearance, the pistol features a Lothar Walther barrel with polygonal rifling and a simple blowback action. Production was limited, making it a rare collector's item.

This video from Military Arms Channel compares a newer Hungarian and German-made Archon Type B pistol against an earlier all-German version to assess quality consistency. The presenter highlights that newer models feature Hungarian slides, German lowers, and US-made barrels, prompting an investigation into whether the manufacturing origin impacts the overall quality and performance of the firearm. The channel emphasizes its viewer-supported, objective approach, not accepting funds from manufacturers.

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 Frommer 1910 is a unique Hungarian automatic pistol designed by Rudolf Frommer, featuring a complex long recoil system and a rotating bolt. Despite its advanced mechanics for the era, its 7.65mm Frommer cartridge was underpowered, making the system overkill. The design evolved from earlier models, gaining a grip safety and detachable magazine, but retains some safety concerns like the difficult grip safety and lack of a hammer block.
