This video explores the Vietnam-era Mk18 Mod0 hand-crank grenade launcher, a pioneering weapon developed by Honeywell in 1962. Unlike modern self-loading systems, it operated via a manual crank, similar to a Gatling gun. The Mk18 utilized the same 40x46mm grenade cartridge as the M79, enabling a unique breech mechanism where cartridges remained in their belt. The video details its operation, its unusual breech design with rotating spindles, and its limited effective range which led to its primary use by the US Navy on riverine patrol boats, where its high volume of firepower was an asset. The content is presented in conjunction with Armament Research Services (ARES).
This video explores the Thorneycroft, a Victorian-era bullpup rifle prototype developed by James Baird Thorneycroft. Inspired by the Boer War, the design aimed to create a shorter rifle without sacrificing barrel length by moving the action and magazine behind the trigger. Prototypes were produced around 1901 and chambered for .303 British with a 5-round magazine. Despite being lighter and shorter than the standard Lee rifle, the British military ultimately rejected the concept in favor of a universal short rifle. The video highlights the innovative bullpup design and its historical context.

This video from Armament Research Services (ARES) provides an in-depth look at the rare DeLisle carbine, a British silenced firearm developed during World War II. The DeLisle was a unique conversion of the SMLE rifle chambered in .45 ACP, utilizing modified 1911 pistol magazines and featuring a substantial integral suppressor. The description highlights its exceptionally quiet operation due to the subsonic round, large suppressor volume, and sound-dampening bolt handle. Intended for special forces, it differed from the Welrod pistol's role. The video showcases a prototype, standard production models, and the only known folding stock variant, emphasizing the scarcity of original examples despite reproduction efforts.
