This Q&A episode from Forgotten Weapons covers a wide range of topics, including international travel and customs, personal travel aspirations, and specific firearm-related discussions. Topics delve into ammo construction (half-brass), the rarity of closed-bolt SMGs and hexagonal barrels, economical machine guns, the FN49 in different calibers, sniper rifles for fictional Elbonia, and historical firearms like the 8mm Lebel Maxim and Ethiopian oddities. The discussion also touches on comparisons between the WWSD and M16, ideal French rifles for smokeless powder, a 2-Gun match choice (Carcano, Enfield, Arisaka), the CETME AMELI's limited success, a sought-after but elusive firearm, cartridge design theories, seemingly contradictory designs (M3 vs. PPSh-41), the manufacturing process of stamped parts, ideal firearm pairings for matches, a hypothetical Pedersen vs. Johnson scenario without the Garand, 'non-real' actions like Blish, printed magazines for rare guns, the future of 9mm and 5.56mm, the biggest military lesson from WWI, and whether Simonov saw an RSC rifle. The episode concludes with a fun question about unlimited ammo from Santa.
