This video from Forgotten Weapons examines the extremely rare Standard Arms "Camp" gun, a .50 caliber smoothbore pump-action firearm produced around 1909. Intended for shooting either shot or round ball, it was a proprietary design from a company known for its unreliable self-loading rifles. The description highlights the company's short lifespan and the limited production of the "Camp" model, estimated at only 25-30 units. The example featured is noted to be in outstanding condition, drawing parallels to Ishapore Arsenal's SMLE conversions.
This video analyzes the FK Brno 7.5mm Field Pistol, exploring its performance against Level IIIA armor. The pistol's proprietary 7.5mm cartridge achieves impressive velocities exceeding 2,000 fps, capable of penetrating IIIA rated armor with ease. The review discusses the cartridge's design, velocity, and terminal ballistics, comparing it to other calibers. While acknowledging the cartridge's innovation and potential, the reviewer critiques the "high terminal effect" projectile for its fragmentation and suboptimal wound track in ballistic gel. The pistol itself is noted as expensive ($8,000 MSRP) with a high-end fit and finish, though not entirely justifying the price tag. Alternative sight options and handling characteristics are also covered.
This video focuses on the unique 4-shot Sauer Bär pistol, highlighting its design as a compact gentleman's defensive firearm. The description emphasizes its innovative features, including twin barrels and a distinctive chamber block that holds four cartridges in a single column. This design contributes to a smooth-sided profile ideal for concealment and offers double the capacity of traditional double-barreled derringers. The video notes that while some Bär pistols were chambered in a proprietary 7mm cartridge, this particular example, like most others, is chambered in the common .25 ACP (6.35mm Browning).
