This video dives into the Olympic Arms OA-98, an AR Pistol with a unique history tied to the 1994 assault weapons ban. The description details how Olympic Arms engineered a way to make AR-platform pistols viable by modifying the design to bypass buffer tube requirements. The OA-93 was their first attempt, but due to the AWB, it was redesigned into the OA-98 by removing features like barrel shrouds and threaded muzzles, and significantly reducing its weight through extensive skeletonization to avoid the 'assault pistol' classification. The video highlights the innovative engineering behind this unusual firearm.
