This video examines the Bjorgum 1905 Norwegian Prototype Pistol, a unique design by Niels Bjorgum. The pistol is chambered in 7.63mm Mauser, features a 16-round clip-fed magazine in the grip, interrupted thread locking, and a rotating barrel short recoil action. The presenter notes its surprisingly light weight and discusses its problematic performance during informal testing, highlighting four malfunctions in 16 rounds. The video touches on Bjorgum's career as a gun designer for the Norwegian military, his later work on a self-loading rifle, and his eventual return to painting. It's a detailed look at a lesser-known historical firearm prototype.
