This video delves into the history of the Hammerli FK-31 diopter competition rifle, acquired by Israel during its War of Independence in 1949. Facing arms embargoes, Israel indirectly procured these rifles, along with the scoped ZK-31 variant, through a mysterious incident involving a sunken freighter off the coast of Egypt. The FK-31, equipped with target diopter sights, served the early Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in a critical period of the nation's formation.
