This episode of "Guess the Gun" features a competitive identification challenge between Matt and Clint. They are presented with highly zoomed-in images of firearms and must identify them within a strict time limit. The game highlights the importance of recognizing specific firearm features, such as markings, weld points, and stock designs, to differentiate between similar models and variants. The challenge also touches upon the difficulty of identification under pressure and the nuances between general firearm types and specific configurations.

The Johnson M1941 rifle, designed by Melvin Johnson, was an alternative to the M1 Garand, featuring a unique short-recoil operation and a 10-round rotary magazine. Despite limited US adoption, it was used by Dutch forces and US Para-Marines. Its design, particularly the rotating bolt, influenced later AR-15 development.
