This "Ask Ian" episode from Forgotten Weapons delves into the lesser-known M2 through M13 rifle designations in the US Army's history. Ian clarifies that these numbers didn't follow a continuous infantry rifle progression like the M1 Garand to M14. Instead, the series encompasses specialized firearms, including .22LR training rifles (M2, M12, M13), pilot survival rifles (.22 Hornet M4 and M6 combination gun), and sub-caliber adapters for artillery and recoilless rifles (M5, M7, M8, M9). The video addresses a viewer's question about the gap between the M1 Garand and M14 and highlights the diverse roles firearms played beyond standard infantry issue.

This video details the rare M1903 Springfield 'Stripped for Air Service' variant, a pilot's survival rifle developed by Springfield Armory in early 1918. Modifications included a shortened stock, a 25-round fixed magazine, and a simplified rear sight, designed for pilots who might crash-land. Despite 910 being made, they were never officially used and most were scrapped or converted after WWI, making surviving examples extremely rare. The video highlights a specific rifle from Bruce Canfield's collection and references additional information from a C&Rsenal video.
