This video explores the Bern Prototype Carbine, an early 1920s experiment in intermediate cartridge technology designed by Adolf Furrer. It highlights the carbine's long recoil semi-automatic action and under-barrel tube magazine, a blend of historical and modern features. The discussion covers the experimental Swiss 7.65x27mm and 7.65x35mm cartridges, noting the evolution to spitzer bullets in later prototypes. The video also touches on Furrer's role as director of the WF Bern factory and the subsequent development and eventual rejection of the design by Swiss armed forces, including a post-WWII revisit before the adoption of the Stgw-57.
