This video delves into the history and capabilities of the Polish wz.35 anti-tank rifle, designed by Józef Maroszek. Despite its impressive muzzle velocity of 4200 fps, the rifle's development and effectiveness have been shrouded in secrecy, leading to modern misconceptions. The description highlights the rifle's plain lead core ammunition and contrasts it with German tungsten-cored projectiles used after capture. The video also points viewers to a detailed monograph on the topic and thanks the Royal Armouries for access to film the rifle.
This video explores the RWGŁ-3, a Polish tear gas launcher developed for riot police following the 1956 Poznań protests. Designed to counter protests where hand-thrown tear gas was returned, the RWGŁ-3 utilizes a significant number of AK parts for cost-effective production. It features a stamped-receiver AK chassis with no gas system, replaced by a gas launching cup. Firing 7.62x39mm blank cartridges, it uses a modified 10-round AK magazine and AK grips to manage recoil, launching tear gas grenades at a much greater range than manual throwing. The weapon saw substantial production and export within the Warsaw Pact and allied nations.
