Since the introduction of gunpowder weaponry, gun designers have sought ways to make them more effective. Some designs have become legendary, their creation inspiring the next generation of development. Some, however, were probably best left on the drawing board. These are just a few more of those weapons.

Douglas Donley: Well I was thinking that we create a brand new gun for our company to make! Everyone Else: Ok... that does sound interesting to try. Douglas Donley: Great! However, we don't enough capital to make one, so I sold all of our tooling machines for making replicas! Everyone Else: Wait... What! But sir, our entire company is infamous for our repicas. Don't you think this is to much of a risky investment? Douglas Donley: Don't worry guys. I'm 100% sure that the new gun we make will not only sell very good but also be one of the best guns in the market! 2017 Douglas Donley: We're bankrupt! How did that happened?!

I own a Zip-22. I took that thing apart and fiddled with it SO many times. Weird quirk? It specifically states not to use liquid lubricant on it. Only powdered graphite. In order to get more reliability I mirror-polished all the steel components and only used 10-round Ruger rotary mags. It works okayish. A larger ejection port would have worked wonders.

To be fair the Chauchat was the best the French could do for a light machine gun. It was cheap and simple to produce despite being terribly flawed. Not to mention it didn't help that French factories and railroads were targeted by German Air raids which made production difficult. And yes its true the 30-06 version used by US troops was much worse

@robertwalker7454 Well, the US army refused to add a pistol grip to their version they didn't think troops needed it. On the M1918A2, they added a bipod (not a very good one) and 2nd full auto mode (slow auto) but that's about it. The Belgian army was much more open to changes including said pistol grip, adjustable gas system, and a sturdier bipod.

The reising was a stop gap substitute never meant to "replace" the Thompson. It wasn't completely parts interchangeable. So when Marines cleaned them and put all the bolts, springs sears etc in separate buckets then just grabbed random parts and reassembled a weapon it wasn't necessarily reliable.

You should talk about "the dai hong dan incident". Where in 2007, a north Korean cargo ship got hijacked by Somalian pirates. And a US warship came to the rescue after hearing their distress call. Fortunately, the NK sailors took the ship back after killing 2 of the baddies, and capturing 5 more. 3 of the sailors needed medical treatment, where US Navy medical personnel helped them. When the news spread around NK, they made a VERY RARE statement, PRAISING the US navy for answering the distress call for the their sailors. Worth talking about it.

Sort of. The Belgian model in WW1 (the M1915/17) was modified from the French 8mm variant, so it retained the awkward foregrip and bipod but had a better magazine. The postwar version (the M1915/27, there's a great Forgotten weapons video on it) is actually pretty decent-the Belgians fixed a lot of the design issues. That being said, while it was used in WWII, it was intended as a stopgap for the (upcoming) FN M1930, so most were in second-line roles. They probably saw combat since Belgium wasn't that big and every gun counts though, so you're right on that last bit.

The Chauchat was a lot like the Sten. It definitely had its issues, but it provided French infantry far more firepower than other armies, both due to its portability and the ability for it to field far more of them than any other automatic weapon of the war.

the basic concept could have been nice, as a small, compact and easily concealable burst pistol, something smaller and lighter than a MAC M-10. of course, the .22LR made it less lethal, but, for example, that could be somewhat an argument for countries more restrictive on gun usage, or for people that are wary of more lethal platforms but still want to protect themselves (I believe that a hail of .22LR would still have, at least, a psychological impact on a target). even Glock and their mastery of polymers don't use that much plastics in their guns, add to that poor ergonomics and flawed insides...

I remember back in 2013 when a lot of the more 'Fudd' type of sellers were featuring the zip-22 and marveled at its unique design and ability to take Ruger .22 mags. At the time I was interested in it because of how compact it was, the charging handle reminded me of the PP-2000 (only seen in video games), and I contemplated what a scaled-up version would be like for a semi-auto under barreled shotgun (At the time this idea was coming from the fictional weapon the Titus-6 featured in Call of Duty Black Ops 2). Apparently the Zip-22 was in fact advertised as an under barreled attachment, but if one were to do so without registering both weapons as a SBR/SBS it would be highly illegal per the NFA Act of 1934.

1:14 While listing issues with the weapon, such as the small magazine being expended in a few seconds, you portray it being continuously fired for 15 seconds. Also, "a few seconds" wouldn't be much of an issue because all commonly used SMG mags can be emptied in a few seconds. The mag of this weapon can actually be emptied in less than two seconds, which is not a few.

Anyway, about two years before the Zip fiasco I landed my hands on a Rodeo model. I still have it. Action like butter. It's hard to imagine metal working together so effortlessly. So...synchronized. At the time it was an expensive impulse purchase. Now I wish I had also purchased some of the other models available to me at the time. RIP USFA.

Zip 22, with all its faults, was never meant to be a handgun. It was a backup accessory, intended to be clipped forward of your AR platform's magazine. Why you need a backup .22 in place of a more useful M203 on your lower rail is anyone's guess, but you aren't supposed to wield it like a pistol.

The Chauchat was really a sub machine gun chambered in a full power cartridge, it was actually pretty decent for what it was, though some of its operating concepts didn't work at all.

Another funny part about the Zip 22 was that its marketing materials claimed real military guys attached them under their rifle barrels like you would an M203. Evidently, Donnelly didn't realize this would make it an SBR, and thus subject to the ATF stampm

Reising also made a target 22lr pistol in the 1920's which is actually a fantastic gun. It was a commercial flop due to the Colt Woodsman being a name brand and also a great gun. But I prefer to shoot my Reising target 22 over my Colt woodsman, both made the same year.

because of the Ruger mags being used in the zip22, the Canadian gov / RCMP used that as the excuse to ban Ruger 10/22 mags that held more than 10 rounds (all pistol mags must be limited to 10 rounds, no matter the caliber), despite the fact that the Zip was to small / too short of a barrel to ever be legally allowed in the Canadian market.

there was a canadian history that i like and its about 2 companies that went to war the Hudson's bay company (the bay) and the northwest company that went to war and it lasted in 1812 to 1821 and the war is called "the pemmican war" Northwest company and the Métis went to war with the Hudson's bay company and the Selkirk settlers (aka the Red River Colony) look up in wiki Pemmican war also the HBC (Hudson's bay company) and the NWC (Northwest company) went on another war but this war is not just with guns they collect furs! furs like wolf, beaver, otter, fox, marten, mink, and muskrat. and i think thats it
