This video explores the Swedish Paratrooper Prototype, the AK Fm/57. This rifle represents a modernized iteration of the Ljungman design, featuring a short-stroke gas piston system and chambered in 6.5x55mm. It incorporates a refined lower receiver with a 20-round magazine and a folding stock. The Fm/57 was part of a competitive trial against several prominent firearms of the era, including the M14, G3, SIG 510, FAL, and AR10, ultimately not being adopted. The description also promotes Headstamp Publishing books and the "Forgotten Weapons" content platforms.

This video explores the WF-54, a Swiss self-loading rifle developed by Waffenfabrik Bern as a potential successor to the K-31. It was based on the German FG-42 and initially designed for an intermediate cartridge, but later iterations, including the WF-54, adopted the standard 7.5x55mm GP11. The rifle's development program ultimately lost to the SIG Stgw-57. The video features footage and disassembly of a WF-54 from the Royal Armouries collection.

This video showcases a heavily modified SIG 510 (Stgw 57) rifle, dubbed the "Rico Special." The customization includes a modern collapsing stock, quad rail foreend, Aimpoint red dot sight, a heavy barrel, and a substantial muzzle brake. The video also mentions the use of 7.5 Swiss ammunition and a full-auto grip assembly. The creator emphasizes the tinkering nature of the gunsmith, Rico, from SIG Neuhausen, in creating this unique rifle.

This video provides an in-depth look at the SIG PE-57, the civilian semi-automatic variant of the Swiss Stgw 57 service rifle. It delves into the rifle's design lineage, tracing influences from the German MG-42 and FG-42. The analysis highlights the roller-delayed blowback action, the 7.5x55mm Swiss cartridge, and its unique in-line stock layout designed to minimize muzzle climb. The video also touches upon its variants like the SIG AMT, its use by foreign militaries, and practical aspects such as the bipod and magazine capacity, ultimately concluding that despite its unusual appearance and weight, it handles well and excels at long-range precision.
