This video provides a detailed look at the WF-51, a Swiss rifle developed by Waffenfabrik Bern as an intermediate-cartridge derivative of the German FG-42. The analysis highlights the design changes, particularly the adoption of a tilting bolt instead of the FG-42's rotating bolt, and its use of a 7.5x38mm intermediate cartridge. The WF-51 was part of Bern's effort to create a new self-loading rifle post-WWII, a program that ultimately lost to the SIG program which produced the Stgw-57. The video showcases the rifle's manufacturing quality and offers a close examination of its mechanics, thanking the Royal Armouries for access to their collection.
