  1. 12:10 don't try that at your local range. "No, really. It's semi-auto!"

  2. If you notice, Jet Li moves to the side and grabs the weapon with both hands to prevent the shooter from aiming it at him. I recall actually seeing hand to hand training regarding unarmed vs pistol, that used a basic move similar to this. Then he takes the slide off (after kicking the other dude). I would think someone with very fast reaction, who trained this, could do this if the person holding the Berreta had been lulled into complacency by thinking them holding the gun had subdued the other person. Of course that training would only be useful if the opponent's pistol of choice was a Berreta. Of course, unarmed vs pistol is "oh shit" training anyway. It was neat watching you explain the movie scene and do the practical test experiment!

  3. Two thoughts: this is what happens when a mechanical watchmaker tries their hand at gunsmithing And, "I don't like a reciprocating charging handle" - unnamed shooter "hold my Carlsberg" - Sig AK53

  4. Freedom Group owned Remington is now making ACRs that have barrels working loose after a mag or two, resulting in a failure to feed along with a redesigned safety selector that uses screws, which also loosen and back out. How long before the Remington ACR is on Forgotten Weapons?

  5. I searched for that model on Lougle, but didn't get any results.

  6. It's only a handful because you're not shooting from the hip, as you should be with any full auto rifle. Or, maybe it's because you're not wearing a headband...it's one of those reasons, for sure.

  7. The real root of the problem is that it's an ugly gun.

  8. Drragoonov. Russian has no "uh" sound. Their "у" in драгунов is transliterated as "u", but has an "ooo" sound, not an "uh" sound. I point this out simply because the number of times draguhnov was said in the vid became annoying to hear. Otherwise, very interesting vid.

  11. It's ironic and fun that a channel called "Forgotten Weapons" is doing a piece on a weapon from "a long time ago and far, far away." Han shot first!
