Forgotten Weapons
At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You're much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!

Sako has released a couple videos formally introducing their ARG - the rifle that is being adopted by Finnish and Swedish military forces. There is nothing particularly novel about the guns (they offer it in 5.56 and 7.62, and with either DI or piston operating systems). Instead of questionable flashy features, the design process focussed on the engineering to make the guns reliable in all environments and to develop the production specs to ensure successful mass production. That's both the hard part and also the important part. Unfortunately, I expect they will be backlogged with military orders for quite some time, so I wouldn't anticipate a civilian model any time soon.

Warlord pistol posting will continue until morale improves! Well, or until @Type56_Ordnance_Dept goes back to Dien Bien Phu.

Did you know that I recently started a second channel, dedicated to SCUBA and related subjects? If you are interested in the underwater world I have about a dozen videos posted on Deep Dive with Ian for you to check out - and today's new one is about the origins of the Navy SEALs. Forgotten Weapons isn't going anywhere, but this is an opportunity for me to explore and share one of my other passions. :)

Being willing to listen to that little voice that said things didn't feel right - and act on it - nearly saved my life three years ago in the South Pacific. Fortunately nobody was seriously injured (or worse), but the experience made a lasting impression on me. Maybe it will on you, too.

I know today's video looks pretty boring on its face, but it really is a lot more interesting than you might expect. From drunken grenadiers to high speed ballistic testing on powder flasks, Joel Bohy makes a really good and engaging presentation. So if you have some time, give it a shot!

This is too late for Americans who would need to ship their guns over, but if you are in Europe and you want to attend Lynx Brutality (May 30-31), there are four tickets remaining. @PolenarTactical put them up on eBay, with all proceeds beyond the base price going to support a Slovenian Paralympic air rifle shooter, Maj Crkvenjaš. So here's a chance to get into the match at the last minute, and also help out a good cause!
Ticket #1: www.ebay.com/itm/376232516311
Ticket #2: www.ebay.com/itm/376232522519
Ticket #3: www.ebay.com/itm/376232523323
Ticket #4: www.ebay.com/itm/376232530892
