This Q&A video from Forgotten Weapons covers a wide range of firearms topics, starting with a follow-up on restoring the Elbonian military. It delves into understanding collectible firearm pricing, the desirability of German small arms, and design considerations like recoil spring placement and fluted barrels. The discussion also touches on military trials, gas-delayed blowback, and the longevity of cartridges like 7.62x54R. Historical firearms are explored through comparisons of the StG44 with Cold War rifles, the Farquhar-Hill in WWI, and the rationale behind military adoption choices. Specific firearms mentioned include the Mauser DA90, a Half-Life: Alyx pistol inspiration, the Mauser 1892, Krag, M1 Carbine, Thompson SMG, and the UK's E.M.2 vs. SA80. Practical advice for firearms writers and collecting on a budget are also included.
