This is mostly high speed video clips showing reliability testing, plus drop tests and other &#8220;rough handling&#8221;. At the end, there are a series of clips of test-firing rifle grenades (the framing unfortunately crops out the grenades themselves), and then the coolest part &#8211; Stefan Janson himself dumping about a hundred rounds through an E.M. 2 as fast as he can.<\/p>\n<p>Janson, of course, was the rifle&#8217;s designer. A Polish expatriate working in the UK, his was born Stefan Januszewski, but Anglicized his name when he lived in England. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\/home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\n6281 N.
