This "Ask Ian" episode from Forgotten Weapons delves into why the M3 Grease Gun and its successor, the M3A1, did not utilize the double-stack, double-feed magazines common to the Thompson submachine gun, despite the potential logistical simplification. The explanation centers on the M3's design lineage from the Sten gun, which employed a single-feed magazine due to its inexpensive, stamped construction. The Thompson's magazine retention system, featuring a T-shaped lug that required a substantial milled receiver for its track, was incompatible with the M3's simpler stamped receiver. The video also touches upon other US submachine guns like the M2 and UD-42 that did adopt Thompson magazines, but these also featured more robust, blocky receivers capable of accommodating the retention mechanism.

This video, "Ask Ian: Single Feed vs Double Feed Pistols," hosted by Forgotten Weapons, explores the design considerations behind single-stack versus double-stack magazines in handguns. Ian discusses why double-stack (or "double feed") pistol magazines are less common, attributing it to increased friction as capacity rises, making magazines less reliable. He also highlights that designing firearms to accommodate two different feed positions is more complex and results in wider firearms, whereas single-feed designs are simpler and can lead to slightly narrower slides. Conversely, double-feed magazines are presented as more reliable and less susceptible to fouling. The explanation touches upon the general tendency for pistols to favor single-feed magazines and rifles to favor double-feed, with exceptions acknowledged.

This video discusses an upgrade to the World War One-era MP-18 submachine gun, focusing on the development and adoption of an alternative box magazine designed by Hugo Schmeisser. The original MP-18 used cumbersome "snail drum" magazines. While Schmeisser developed a new box magazine after the war, its adoption was slow and not universally implemented, even by the German Army, which continued to use snail drum models into World War Two. Some German police forces eventually adopted the updated system, though often many years after the war's end.

This video features firearm experts Bill Wilson and Ken Hackathorn discussing the reliability of the 1911 pistol, focusing on the critical roles of the magazine, extractor, and ammunition.
