Warsaw Uprising

October 3, 2013 Ian McCollum 36
I normally have a book review on Thursday, but this week I’m pushing it to Friday. I meant to post this yesterday, but lost track of the date – which, 69 years ago, was the […]

Skorpion Scarab 9mm (Video)

September 30, 2013 Ian McCollum 22
In my defense, I want to point out that the only reason I wanted to get one of these pistols was to see how much it actually resembled the Czech vz.61 Skorpion, wich is a […]

2-Gun Match: Chinese 7.62x39mm Bren

September 24, 2013 Ian McCollum 32
Thanks to the folks at SMG Guns in Texas, I just got my completed semiauto Bren gun in 7.62x39mm. What the best way to break it in? Take it to a run-n-gun match, of course! […]

H&K VP-70Z (Video)

September 23, 2013 Ian McCollum 53
I recently had the chance to hit the range with a VP-70Z, the semiauto civilian version of H&K’s 1970 machine pistol. It is notable both for being one of the few production machine pistols around […]

Iver-Johnson Safety Hammerless (Video)

September 16, 2013 Ian McCollum 23
I believe this is the least expensive gun we have yet covered on Forgotten Weapons – this particular example cost me $49 at a local gun shop. Why bother with a cheap old (and pretty […]

Book Review: Handguns of the World

September 12, 2013 Ian McCollum 7
I normally don’t have all that much interest in coffee table type gun books – the glossy photos are nice, but they generally don’t have all that much actual information. I had assumed initially that […]

Ishapore .410 SMLE Conversion (Video)

September 9, 2013 Ian McCollum 37
Quick, think of the first thing that comes to mind when I say “riot shotgun”! Does it have a brass buttplate? A tangent rear sight? Is it a single-shot weapon? Does it use a shotshell […]

Revolver

Union Automatic Revolver (Video)

September 2, 2013 Ian McCollum 16
The most well-known historic automatic revolver is the British Webley-Fosbery, but there were other handguns of the type that were put into production. One example is the Union auto-revolver, made in Toledo, Ohio shortly before […]

Book Review: Webley & Scott Automatic Pistols

August 29, 2013 Ian McCollum 11
Having previously read and quite enjoyed Gordon Bruce’ Evolution of Military Automatic Pistols, I was looking forward to checking out his much more in-depth volume on the Webley semiautos, appropriately titled Webley & Scott Automatic […]

Type I Carcano (Video)

August 26, 2013 Ian McCollum 13
One of the less common Japanese rifles of the WWII era is the Type I (pronounced “Type Eye”). The Japanese Imperial Army and Navy procured small arms independently of each other, and the Army received […]
