This video explores the rare Passler Model 1887 Ring Trigger Pistol, a manually-operated firearm developed by Franz Passler and Ferdinand Seidl. The design features a rotating barrel, similar to the Schulhof 1887, but with a simpler, more durable internal mechanism. Notably, this model utilizes 5-round Mannlicher clips for feeding. Despite its innovative features and limited production of around 100 units, the pistol did not achieve commercial success. The video highlights the minor variations present in each manufactured unit.
This YouTube Q&A video from Forgotten Weapons covers a wide array of firearms-related topics. It delves into technical aspects like gain twist rifling and compares the 6.5mm Arisaka to modern cartridges. The discussion also touches upon historical firearm decisions, such as the US abandonment of the M1917 Enfield, and explores future acquisition interests. The video addresses the mechanics of Stoner's gas impingement system, potential BAR modernization, and the reasons behind military firearms surplus and its dealers. Additionally, it provides guidance on identifying collectible firearms, discusses the decline of rimmed and rimfire cartridges, and examines modern firearm technologies like binary triggers and rotating barrel pistols. French arms reputation and the potential US availability of the L85A2 are also explored, with a brief mention of on-location battlefield footage.
This video explores the Nickl Prototype M1916/22 Pistol, a rotating barrel military pistol developed by Josef Nickl, a former R&D designer at Mauser. The design originated from the Steyr-Hahn M1912 pistol. Nickl created several prototypes at Mauser, but the company did not pursue production due to patent issues and wartime demands. The design later evolved into the CZ24 and CZ27 pistols produced in Brno. The featured prototype is a larger variant chambered in 9x19mm. The video includes a link to forgottenweapons.com and credits Dylan Benson for theme music.
