We interviewed Duncan McCollum, author of “Japanese Rifles of WWII”. He showed us some interesting aspects of a Japanese Type 2 paratrooper takedown rifle. These guns are like regular Type 99 Arisakas, but can be quickly disassembled into two piece for carrying in a leg bag when parachuting.
At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
