This video explores the Hagen Prototype Semiauto Rifle, an early design by a Norwegian and manufactured in the UK. Despite its light and sleek profile, featuring a long stroke gas piston and a two-lug rotating bolt, it was never adopted by any military due to durability issues, with testing in French service ending prematurely due to parts breakage. The rifle did incorporate unique features like a magazine cartridge counter and a semi-auto/manual selector switch. The video also links to several other prototype and historical firearm reviews, providing context for early semi-automatic rifle development.
