This review delves into the obscure Knoble Automatic Pistol, a .30 Luger caliber firearm designed by J.W. Knoble. Submitted for the 1907 US Army pistol trials, it featured a unique toggle-action, short-recoil mechanism. Despite its innovative design, the pistol was rejected due to crude manufacturing, as noted in the official test report.

This expert-level analysis from Forgotten Weapons delves into the intricate mechanics of the Pedersen PB rifle, a 1930s competitor to the M1 Garand. Through detailed slow-motion footage, the video dissects its unique delayed blowback toggle locking action, the non-obstructive ejection path of the toggle, and the characteristic 'ping' of its 10-round en bloc clip. The analysis also includes a thorough examination of a specific feeding malfunction.

The Pedersen Selfloading Rifle, designed by John Pedersen, was a primary competitor to the M1 Garand in US military trials. It featured a unique toggle-locked, delayed blowback action and was chambered in .276 Pedersen. Despite its advanced design, it was ultimately passed over for the M1 Garand due to logistical concerns and a mandate to stick with the .30-06 caliber.
