Vietnamese Crude Blowback 1911 Copy
This video examines a crude, craft-made blowback pistol copied from an American 1911 design, captured in Vietnam. The description highlights the improvisational nature of guerrilla warfare leading to such fabrications. The pistol exhibits significant design flaws, including a non-functional safety and an attempted but inoperable out-of-battery safety. Its most critical issue is the lack of a locking system, making it a blowback operation designed for .45 ACP ammunition. This design would lead to rapid self-destruction due to insufficient slide and spring strength, drawing parallels to other improvised firearms.
