This Q&A episode of Forgotten Weapons covers a wide range of firearm-related topics, from the engineering challenges of reliable magazines and the historical procurement of Mosin Nagant rifles by Finland, to the origins of Hollywood ricochet sound effects and the past popularity of sporterizing firearms. Host Ian discusses his most difficult gun to fix, the advantages of rifle grenades over under-barrel launchers, and his thoughts on electronic trigger mechanisms and the 10mm Auto cartridge. He also touches on parts kit builds, hypothetical rimless .303 rounds for Britain, compatibility issues in handgun magazines, the largest infantry rifle cartridges, and the military use of obscure calibers. The discussion extends to the distinction between mechanical oddities and historical significance, gun books in foreign languages, consulting for media, and opinions on Islay Scotch. Finally, the video delves into the failure of the MIL Thunder 5 versus the success of the Taurus Judge, the current value of the MAS-35 pistol, the long-term impact of the pandemic on gun prices, which firearms are frequently faked, a comparison between the Meunier A6 and RSC-1917, and the worst firearm choices for a new nation in 1945.
