Landstad 1900: A True Semiautomatic Revolver
This video provides an in-depth look at the extremely rare Landstad Model 1900, a unique semiautomatic revolver designed by Halvard Folkestad Landstad. The video details its complex blowback action, six-round detachable magazine, and its ambitious, albeit failed, presentation to Norwegian military trials in 1901. It highlights the gun's unusual design intended for enhanced safety, the single prototype's mechanical failure, and the context of Norwegian pistol development leading to the Kongsberg 1914. The presentation is enriched by the opportunity to disassemble and film this one-of-a-kind firearm.
