Frequently Asked Questions

What are some firearms that TFB TV suggests need a comeback and redesign?

TFB TV's James Reeves proposes five firearms for a comeback: the Heckler & Koch P7, Magpul FMG-9, Ruger P89, HK 33/53/93 series, and the Daewoo K-Series. He suggests 'remixes' to update them for modern use.

What were the drawbacks of the Heckler & Koch P7 that prevented its widespread success?

The HK P7 was expensive to manufacture, relatively heavy at 28 oz, and had a low capacity of 8 rounds due to its unique gas-delayed blowback system, limiting its market appeal despite its accuracy.

How could the Ruger P89 be improved in a modern 'remix'?

A remixed Ruger P89 could feature a slimmer profile similar to the P345, better sights for improved aiming, and compatibility with magazines from popular pistols like the Sig P226 or Beretta 92.

What makes the Daewoo K-Series unique, and how could it be improved?

The Daewoo K-Series combines an AR-15 bolt with an AK-style long-stroke piston. A modern remix could include a free-floating barrel for better accuracy and standardized parts compatibility for easier customization.
