RWGŁ-2: An AK/Mosin Hybrid Gas Launcher

The RWGL-1 is a unique hybrid riot control device developed in Poland, combining a Mosin-Nagant receiver with a PM-63 RAK machine pistol frame. It was designed to fire 7.62x39mm blanks for tear gas grenades, featuring a hidden 3-round magazine in the front grip. Safety features prevent firing live ammunition, and fewer than 100 were produced.

The AK platform is identified as the most significantly evolved 20th-century rifle, surpassing even the AR-15/M16 family. Key changes include the transition from milled to stamped receivers (AKM) and successful adaptation into roles like the RPK light machine gun and various DMR variants. While the AR platform diversified, the AK's fundamental mechanical evolution and broad role implementation give it the edge.

This video features JesseKazam and Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant discussing and handling Russian firearms that appear in the video game "Escape from Tarkov." The discussion focuses on the realism of Kalashnikovs (AK-47, AKM, AK-74, AK-101/102, CMMG Mutant Mk47), SKS rifles, and Mosin-Nagant rifles as represented in the game. They compare the real-world characteristics of these firearms with their in-game counterparts, including their availability, power, and modification potential. The conversation also delves into the specific calibers used, namely 7.62x54R for the Mosin-Nagant and 7.62x39mm for the AK and SKS, and touches upon the importance of ammunition load selection in the game.

This video details the unique 'French Finger Trap' issue with the MAS-36 rifle's bayonet, where two rifles can become unintentionally locked together. A 1951 French arsenal memorandum identified this problem, proposing a simple modification to the bayonet handle. Drilling a small hole allows a tool, like a firing pin, to depress the internal spring, enabling the separation of locked rifles.

The M134 Minigun is a scaled-down 7.62 NATO rotary cannon, requiring 24V DC power and consuming 1.5 kW. Its high rate of fire (3,000+ RPM) is essential for aircraft engagement windows. The complex delinker mechanism is critical for feeding ammunition, and practical hand-held use is impossible due to weight and recoil. Live fire demonstrates rapid ammunition consumption and the need for indirect aiming.

The H&K G11 is a revolutionary prototype assault rifle designed in the late 20th century, notable for its caseless ammunition and unique rotating drum bolt mechanism. Despite advanced features like a 2000 RPM burst fire rate and integrated optics, its development was ultimately halted by geopolitical shifts and cost concerns.

This video demonstrates the assembly and live-fire of the German 1936 pattern light mortar (L.Gr.W.36). It highlights the mortar's leveling mechanism for accuracy and the difficulty in visually tracking its 50mm projectiles after firing.
