This video explores the Japanese Pedersen rifle, a fascinating iteration of John Pedersen's toggle-locked rifle design that was experimented with by Japan in the early to mid-1930s. Unlike the US trial versions, this particular rifle, serial number 8, features a scope mounting rail and a rotary magazine instead of the familiar en bloc clip. The description highlights Pedersen's efforts to find international adopters after failing to secure US military adoption. The rifle's functionality is noted as being similar to other Pedersen designs, but with this distinct magazine difference.
