This video delves into the mechanics of toggle-action firearms, a unique locking system. It highlights its presence in iconic firearms like the Luger and Maxim/Vickers, while also acknowledging its application in shotguns, military rifles, sporting rifles, and submachine guns. The description explains that toggle actions typically function as a locked breech system, often unlocked by a secondary operating mechanism such as short recoil, but can also be the foundation for delayed blowback actions, exemplified by the Pedersen rifle. The video aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of this less common but historically significant firearm mechanism.
