This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the history and design of the Olympic Arms OA-96 pistol, a unique AR-15 variant that emerged during the 1994 US Assault Weapons Ban. The OA-96 featured a fixed 30-round magazine as a workaround to avoid being classified as an "assault pistol." The video explains how Olympic Arms relocated the recoil spring above the barrel to accommodate a side-folding stock and the subsequent development of the OA-98, which reintroduced a detachable magazine.
