This ARTV Preview segment covers three distinct firearm topics. It begins with a historical look at Crimson Trace, celebrating 25 years of their laser sighting technology. Following this is a 'Rifleman Review' of the Winchester SX4 20-gauge shotgun. The episode concludes with 'I Have This Old Gun,' where Mark Keefe examines the Steyr-Hahn pistol, a firearm from the World War I era. The video offers a blend of historical context, product review, and a look at a vintage firearm.
This Q&A episode from Forgotten Weapons covers a wide array of firearms-related topics and tangents. Key discussions include modern squad weapons, favorite historical sites, daily schedules, the advantages of toggle locking systems, and the potential comeback of Gyrojet ammunition. The video also touches on aerial guns, video backlog, the feasibility of the 6mm Lee Navy with modern materials, helical magazines, rifle importation, specific historical firearms like Berthier rifles and Broomhandle Mausers, and the possibility of modernizing the H&K P7. Other subjects include single-feed pistol magazines, the 8mm Kurz cartridge, big-bore pistols, the rationale behind judging service rifles, and collaborations with other YouTubers. Further topics delve into the FN MAG, the reasons behind the lack of top-feed LMGs, new modular platforms in 6.5/6.8mm cartridges, the failure of the Walther MPK/MPL, gunsmithing support for rare guns, WW2 German use of captured small arms, the Steyr-Hahn machine pistol, variable pitch recoil springs, bump stocks, post-FW plans, constant recoil guns, puzzling military adoptions, WW1 small arms, and a comparison of HK and AR15 irons.
This video explores a unique Steyr-Hahn M1911 pistol variant intended for military trials, distinguished by its adjustable tangent sights and shoulder stock compatibility. While these features aimed to extend range, they were ultimately deemed impractical and costly for military adoption. The discussion also covers identifying original shoulder stocks and their legal status.

The Steyr M.12, or 'Steyr-Hahn', was a robust Austro-Hungarian semi-automatic pistol adopted during WWI. It features a unique short-recoil rotating barrel mechanism and was chambered in the powerful 9x23mm Steyr cartridge, loaded via stripper clips into an 8-round fixed magazine. Despite initial rejection, its reliability and solid construction led to widespread production and post-war conversions.
The 1912 Steyr-Hahn pistol, the primary service sidearm of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, underwent a rigorous mud test to assess its reliability in harsh conditions. Despite some failures to go into battery after submersion, the pistol demonstrated notable resilience, particularly due to its rotating barrel design which protected critical locking surfaces. It was ultimately ranked as the second-best pistol among Central Powers firearms of its era, trailing only the Luger P08.
