This video explores the Romanian PAR-3, a 5.56x45mm pump-action rifle developed to circumvent US "assault weapon" ban legislation between 1994 and 2004. The description details how modifying the gas system to a manual pump action made these rifles legal, despite other features. It mentions the PAR-1 (7.62x39mm) and the unimported PAR-2 (5.45x39mm). The video also references other examples of pump-action conversions like the Vektor H5 and SIG 550 VRB, and provides links to the presenter's various content platforms and merchandise.
This video delves into the Vektor H5, a unique pump-action variant of the South African R4/R5 Galil rifle. Introduced in the early 1990s to circumvent stricter regulations on semi-automatic rifles, the H5 found popularity with private security firms, leading to a specialized version. The design emphasizes retaining standard Galil parts, omitting the gas system, and featuring a new top cover, safety, and pump-action handguard. Notably, iron sights were replaced with a scope rail, and the rifles were typically shipped with a 4x32 scope. The market for the H5 diminished around 2000 as South African gun laws evolved to simplify semi-automatic rifle permits. The video showcases two examples provided by a private collector.
