This video provides a detailed look at the BSW Prototype Gas-Operated Pistol, a rare firearm developed for German Army trials in 1936 or 1937. The presenter discusses the pistol's gas-accelerated blowback design, aluminum frame, stamped slide, and 13-round 9x19mm magazine. Despite some innovative features, the video highlights the pistol's impracticality, including difficult disassembly, large size, harsh recoil due to its lightweight nature and high bore axis, and general finickiness, ultimately explaining why it lost the trials to the Walther P38. The presenter had the opportunity to shoot one of the three surviving examples, offering a rare firsthand perspective on this historical firearm.
