This video features Firearms Curator Lisa Traynor examining the Ivor Johnson Safety Automatic Revolver, a firearm historically misrepresented as safe for children. Despite this false advertising, it became a popular 19th-century American weapon and is infamously linked to President William McKinley's assassination in 1901. The Royal Armouries shares this behind-the-scenes look at their collection, inviting viewers to learn more and support their museum.
Ian from Forgotten Weapons is seeking funding to expand the website back to its original vision as a comprehensive archive of historical firearms data. Due to his commitment to daily video production, he plans to hire a professional curator and allocate a budget for researchers. Funding is preferred through direct support via Patreon rather than advertising, as many ad networks are hesitant to work with firearms-related content. He is currently refining perks for Patreon supporters while ensuring the archive remains freely accessible.
