Today I have made the trek to the C Rsenal studio to have a Q A with Othais. Not familiar with his channel? It is a wonderfully in-depth look at firearms history, development, and use focusing on the weapons of World War One. Check it out here: • / @candrsenal • And if you are looking for someone to support directly, I can think of few who are more deserving and who work harder than Othais, Mae, and the whole crew behind the scenes of C Rsenal. I support them, and you should too: • / overview • We would also like to thank Andrew at Archival Research Group for assistance finding great information in the US national archives: • https://archivalresearchgroup.com • And last but not least, thanks to Cam and Alex for the t-shirts! • Our questions today are: • 0:06:22 - Why was the Madsen not used more in WW1? • 0:08:10 - How would the Pedersen Device has fared in combat? • 0:12:12 - Trench shotguns in WW1 • 0:14:53 - Ammunition for black powder rifles in WW1 • 0:17:56 - Why did integral rifle grenade launchers take so long to develop? • 0:20:39 - How were territorial armies supplied with arms? • 0:24:12 - Cut down rifles and Obrez pistols • 0:29:00 - What changes would the 1919 secret weapons have brought to the war? • 0:33:51 - Practicality of the semiauto rifles available in 1914/5? • 0:38:04 - Scarcity of Austrian M95 rifles on the surplus market • 0:41:17 - Best rifle for the Entente to standardize on? • 0:44:21 - Captured rifles being rechamsbered for different cartridges • 0:47:41 - Intermediate cartridge development in WW1 • 0:48:56 - Was the Winchester 1907/1910 an assault rifle? • 0:51:26 - Why not more 10-round or larger magazines? • 0:54:10 - Was the SMLE issued with spare magazines? • 0:56:35 - What did the British do with their Arisakas? • 0:58:12 - Popular field modifications of rifles • 1:02:55 - Firearms design lessons of WW1 • 1:05:13 - Favorite WW1 carbine? • 1:07:28 - Favorite WW1 Forgotten weapon? • As always, these questions were provided by my awesome Patrons: • / forgottenweapons • Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forg... • Contact: • Forgotten Weapons • PO Box 87647 • Tucson, AZ 85754
