This video from Forgotten Weapons explores a rare, undocumented Winchester semi-automatic rifle prototype. The presenter, based on the rifle's features, speculates it was developed in the early to mid-1950s under Melvin Johnson as a testbed for flechette or multi-projectile ammunition intended for the US military. The video provides a detailed examination of the prototype, offering educated guesses about its design and purpose, and thanks the Cody Firearms Museum for access to film.
