This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the complex world of 9mm pistol cartridges, explaining the origins and distinctions between numerous variations. It covers the ubiquitous 9mm Luger (Parabellum/NATO), along with historical and less common rounds like 9mm Largo, 9mm Browning Long, .380 Auto (9mm Kurz), 9x25 Mauser Export, 9mm Steyr, 9x18mm Ultra, and 9x18mm Makarov. The explanation focuses on their development, dimensional differences, and intended applications, highlighting why seemingly similar designations can represent very different cartridges.
This video delves into the history and design of the Bergmann 1896 pistol, also known as the No.3. It highlights Bergmann's status as a relatively unknown but successful manufacturer of early automatic pistols. The video discusses how a delayed blowback patent was refined by Louis Schmeisser into the 1896 model, which was offered in multiple calibers (5mm No.2, 6.5mm No.3, and 8mm No.4). It also touches upon the evolution of the design into a locked-breech variant chambered for the 9x23mm cartridge, noting its continued use into World War II.
