Yesterday we looked at the development and mechanics of the UC-9 folding sneaky submachine gun. Today we are out at the range with it – how does this thing actually handle?

Same here. If you cut and paste the non clickable link it takes you to some obscure video totally unrelated. I’ve tried it a few times now. Just go to ForgottenWeapons YouTube channel to watch it. Not sure why the change.
Must be ads again.
I don’t use YouTube on principle. If Ian doesn’t put the videos on his own site, he’s lost a viewer.
at least there is not a pay wall … just wait
