This YouTube video documents the completion of the 1000-round trial phase for a Kimber firearm and announces that the next phase will involve 2000 rounds. The content focuses on the ongoing testing and reliability trials of this specific Kimber model, with a commitment to further rigorous testing.
This video explores the W+F Bern C42 and E22 rifles, prototypes submitted for the Swiss military's Sturmgewehr 90 trials. The C42 is chambered in 5.56mm, while the E22 uses 6.45x48mm. Both feature a rotating bolt with a long-stroke gas piston, drawing parallels to the Stgw 57 in ergonomics. Carbine and rifle variants were offered, with interchangeable barrels. The rifles also boasted bayonet lugs, grenade launching capabilities, and bipods, features absent on carbines. Ultimately, these designs lost to SIG due to superior accuracy and a critically flawed charging handle design that was easily lost, a significant issue for Swiss reservist doctrine.
This video explores the W+F Bern P43, a Swiss interpretation of the Browning High Power, developed during trials to replace the Luger. The presenter examines three progressive versions of the P43, highlighting modifications made throughout the trials from 1940 to 1949. While mechanically similar to the High Power, the designs evolved visually. Key features discussed include changes to the slide lock, manual safety, and magazine release, offering a detailed look at the iterative development process of this firearm.
