This video showcases the System Kuhn, a novel single-shot breechloading rifle likely manufactured in the 1870s or 1880s by Kuhn of Besançon. The rifle is designed for sporting use, firing an 11mm black powder cartridge. Key features highlighted include its efficient breech-loading mechanism which automatically ejects spent casings and cocks the hammer upon closing the action. It also incorporates a safety feature preventing firing until the action is fully closed, safeguarding against out-of-battery discharges. While the maker remains largely unknown, the video explores the innovative engineering of this antique firearm.

This video explores the Madsen M1888 Forsøgsrekylgevær, an early recoil-operated semi-automatic rifle developed by Madsen and Rasmussen. The design faced challenges due to the use of black powder cartridges but eventually led to the successful 1902 Madsen light machine gun. The M1888 underwent Danish military testing but was ultimately deemed unsuitable for infantry use, with the Krag-Jørgensen being selected instead. The video highlights the rifle's unique, small bayonet, characteristic of recoil-operated firearms, and mentions the addition of stacking swivels during testing. It thanks the Tøjhusmuseet (Royal Danish Armory Museum) for access to these rare examples.
