Today Professor Ben Nicholson joins me to talk about some of the work behind the scenes to create “Clockwork Basilisk”. From unexpected museum finds to Maori war chiefs, this book was the product of a whole team of researchers across several continents.
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!
