The presenter, from Forgotten Weapons, demonstrates shooting both models using 40mm chalk training ammunition at steel targets around 75-85 meters. A key takeaway highlighted is the significant improvement in the M32A1's trigger compared to its predecessor. The description also includes links to the creator's Patreon and merchandise store.
This video explores the BXP, a compact 9mm carbine developed in South Africa. Originating from modifications made to an impounded LDP carbine by farmer Andries Piek in the late 1970s, the BXP evolved into a proprietary design. Initially a fully automatic submachine gun, it later transitioned to a semi-automatic civilian carbine. The video highlights its mechanical similarities to the Uzi, including a telescoping bolt and magazine in the grip. Production involved multiple manufacturers over the years, with Truvelo currently holding ownership of the system. The BXP is described as well-made, reliable, and durable, despite not being elegant.
This video examines the Stopper 37mm, a single-shot riot control gun designed by Andries Piek in South Africa in 1980. Facing an embargo that prevented maintenance of older US-made riot guns, the South African police needed a domestic alternative. Piek rapidly developed the Stopper, a simple break-action, hammer-fired weapon, with production commencing in 1982 by Mitco Special Products (Milkor). Two versions were produced, differing in the presence of a front grip. The video also notes Piek's inspiration from a movie prop, which later led to the design of the Milkor MGL, adopted by the US Marine Corps. The Stopper was manufactured until 1999.
This video is a book review of "Firearms Developed and Manufactured in Southern Africa 1949-2000." The book, a result of an 8.5-year research project by the Pretoria Arms and Ammunition Association, meticulously documents firearms from South Africa and Rhodesia. It covers a wide range, from civilian hunting rifles to military arms, including major manufacturers like Musgrave, Denel, Republic Arms, Truvelo, and Milkor. Specific firearms discussed include the Vektor CP1, CR21, Neostead, Striker-12/Protecta shotguns, and details on South African and Rhodesian FAL rifles. The book is presented as an essential resource for those interested in safari rifles, the South African bush wars, and the evolution of a national arms industry.
