This video announces the upcoming book "Forged in Snow: Finnish Small Arms 1917-2025," available via Kickstarter. The book is a comprehensive English-language reference guide for collectors and historians, detailing Finnish-manufactured and modified small arms from pistols to antitank rifles. It covers various models including Ahlberg, Luger, Lahti pistols, different Mosin Nagant variants, Kalashnikov variants (rk/58 to rk/95), submachine guns (Lindelof, Suomi, M44, Jatimatic), light machine guns (LS26, KvKK/62), and bayonets. Each entry provides development history, intended use, variants, production numbers, markings, mechanical operation, and combat history. The book explores Finland's unique military development path, influenced by its history and geopolitical positioning. Author Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons is highlighted.
This "Antiques Gunshow" video, themed around 80s and 90s action movies, features Jonathan Ferguson and special guest Hollywood Guns comparing iconic firearms. The comparison spans three rounds: Sidearms (SAA vs. Bren Ten), Secondary (MP5 vs. Jatimatic), and Primary (M41A Pulse Rifle vs. Minigun). Each firearm is scored based on "Epic movies", "Rarity", and "Power". The video showcases a variety of classic and fictional action movie weaponry, with the Jatimatic and Minigun videos linked for further viewing. It also features a cameo from Dave 'Tank' Jewitt and encourages support for the Royal Armouries.
This video features a range test of the Jatimatic, a firearm with unique recoil-controlling features, a forward grip, and a progressive trigger. The creator aims to test the effectiveness of these design elements during firing. The video also promotes the creator's Patreon and Utreon channels, as well as their merchandise store, providing links for viewers to support their content.
This video delves into the Jatimatic, a unique Finnish Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) developed by Jari Timari. Despite its innovative design, featuring a stockless configuration and features to reduce muzzle climb, the Jatimatic only saw limited production of around 400 units and was not widely adopted. The description highlights its use of Swedish K magazines, its distinctive angled appearance for recoil management, and an integrated safety within the folding front grip. Production ceased in the late 1980s due to permit issues and a robbery, with subsequent attempts to revive the design as the GG-95 by Golden Gun also proving unsuccessful. The Jatimatic gained some recognition through its appearance in films like "Cobra" and "Red Dawn."
This video delves into the Finnish Jatimatic SMG, a submachine gun designed in the 1980s for security forces. It highlights the Jatimatic's innovative bolt design, which wraps around the barrel for a compact yet heavy bolt, and its angled travel to reduce muzzle climb. However, the description points out significant practical drawbacks, including the lack of a shoulder stock, forcing hip firing or sling use, and a poorly integrated sling attachment that doubles as a takedown catch, leading to accidental disassembly. Despite clever engineering, these issues ultimately limited its success.
