This video from Forgotten Weapons examines the rare Clair Brothers Semiauto Shotgun from the 1890s. The Clair brothers, from Saint Etienne, France, developed a gas-operating system patented in 1889, which they envisioned for various firearms. The video highlights the shotgun as an application of this early gas-operated technology. It also mentions their work on pistols and rifles, and references a previous blog post on their self-loading pistol. The film was made possible through access granted by the Liege Arms Museum in Belgium.
