This video delves into the historical origins and early development of the iconic CZ-75 pistol. It focuses on the distinct "Short Rail" or "Slab Side" models, which represent the first 16,000 units produced before design modifications were implemented in 1980, including the addition of a longer frame and a half-cock notch. The description also highlights key production changes up to 1993, such as variations in finishes, trigger guards, grip panels, serial numbering, and the introduction of the CZ-75B with a firing pin block. The video acknowledges the influence of other pistols like the SIG P210 and Browning High Power on its design, noting it was initially intended for export rather than military adoption. The content is presented by Forgotten Weapons and thanks Royal Tiger Imports for providing early models.

This video explores a significant collection of Ethiopian arms brought to the US collector market by InterOrdnance (Royal Tiger Imports). The presenter highlights the unique historical value of these firearms due to Ethiopia's diverse international military partnerships and their practice of maintaining old rifles in stockpiles. The collection spans over a century of development, featuring single-shot rifles like the Burden and Gras, bolt-action repeaters such as the Carcano, Enfield, and Mauser, and Cold War self-loading rifles like the MAS 49/56, Hakim, and vz.52. While many guns are in worn condition, they represent a rare opportunity for collectors.
This video delves into the M38 Carcano rifle, questioning its status as the best bolt-action rifle of World War Two. The presenter discusses Italy's 1920s concerns about the lethality of the 6.5x52mm cartridge, leading to the development of the 7.35x51mm round and the more compact M38 rifle. Key features highlighted include side-sling attachments, a folding bayonet, and a fixed 200m rear sight. The video argues that this configuration was practical for WWII, with rifle engagement rarely exceeding 300m. The M38's advantages, such as reduced production costs, increased durability, fast Mannlicher clip loading, and cartridges closer to intermediate rounds, are emphasized. The rifle is praised for being handy, inexpensive, and comfortable to shoot, concluding it's an under-appreciated firearm.
This video provides an in-depth look at the Carcano M91 rifle, highlighting its role as the workhorse of the Italian military through both World Wars and colonial campaigns. The presenter discusses its simple, durable, and reliable design, featuring a Mauser-type bolt, split bridge, Mannlicher magazine system, and Salvatore Carcano's unique safety. The rifle was chambered in the innovative 6.5x52mm cartridge with progressive-twist rifling. The video emphasizes that the Carcano action remained consistent throughout its production, avoiding the need for wartime simplifications, and asserts that the rifle is better than its common reputation suggests. The specific rifle featured was provided by InterOrdnance / Royal Tiger Imports.
This video delves into the history and development of the M1 Carbine, a firearm created by Winchester in response to the rapid advances of German blitzkrieg tactics during World War II. Recognizing the limitations of the M1911 pistol for rear-echelon troops, the US Ordnance Department commissioned a lightweight carbine. Winchester's design, adapted from a prototype rifle and incorporating a Garand-like bolt and a gas tappet system, was developed remarkably quickly. The M1 Carbine became a crucial weapon for various roles, from drivers to paratroopers, with over 6 million units produced.
