This video delves into the fascinating history and design of John L. Hill's innovative SMG/Pistol concept from the late 1940s and early 1950s. Hill's unique idea for a top-mounted magazine and a rotary feed system, which turned cartridges 90 degrees for chambering, directly inspired the later FN P90. The video discusses Hill's prototypes, their examination by the US Army and FBI, and their eventual sale to H&B Enterprises. It highlights how FN later revisited this concept for the P90, making it the only production firearm to utilize this clever feeding mechanism. The description also provides links to patents and further research on Forgotten Weapons.
