This Q&A session for October 2025 features Forgotten Weapons host Ian discussing a variety of firearms topics, including unusual pistol designs, future plans for the channel and Headstamp Publishing, and personal life updates. Gun-specific discussions range from Sedgley Gove Guns and grenade launchers to the Gyrojet vs. Dardick, the .30 Carbine cartridge, modern rifle developments (like the 6.8x51mm M7), squad automatic weapons, and the potential replacement of iconic firearms like the G3 and High Power. The conversation also touches on firearm literature, technical terms like 'spring tension,' the market for 9mm PCCs, and the viability of technologies like Metal Storm. The video concludes with a lightning round of potential future video topics and advice on building a firearm and cartridge reference library.
This video showcases the Pancor Jackhammer Mk3, a fascinating and rare selective-fire combat shotgun concept developed by Korean War veteran John Anderson. Designed for high capacity and fully automatic fire, the project ultimately failed due to lack of funding. The video features a partially completed prototype of the Mk3, which never received its firing mechanism but is registered as a transferrable machine gun. It highlights the unique blow-forward, gas-operated design and its historical context within military firearm development.
