A loadout showcase by Hop, showing what he brought to the Moon's Out 2025 Match... "The gear I used to run the Forgotten Weapons Moon's Out 2025 Night Vision match! The internet is slow here so the video is a little bit late. And I'm sleep deprived. That doesn't have anything to do with the video I just wanted you to know."
Forgotten Weapons feature the next service rifle for the Finnish Armed Forces, the Sako ARG S 40... "Finland and Sweden are both in the process of adopting AR-pattern rifles, and for the Finns this will be their first service rifle in 5.56mm NATO. It is a transition that has been anticipated for nearly 20 years, but was finally put into high gear by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Finland's entrance into NATO.
Forgotten Weapons feature the only firearm from Aimpoint, the PC-80 Symmetrical Action... "Today we are looking at the entire scope of Aimpoint's firearms development division...which is actually just this one firearm. Aimpoint was founded in 1975 as a partnership between Arne Ekstrand (a Swedish inventor with an idea for a brand new "red dot" type of optic) and Gunnar Sandberg (a wealthy Swedish entrepreneur interested in new technology).
Forgotten Weapons feature the M14 TP2 sniper rifle in this episode. Estonia initially developed the TP sniper rifle in 2000 based on the M14 platform, but it suffered from significant shortcomings, including a poor scope, mount, and stock. In 2008, the TP2 was introduced, incorporating a B&T mount, a standard stock with a cheek riser, and an excellent Schmidt & Bender PMII scope.
Forgotten Weapons feature a Chinese copy of bolt action M1 Carbine... "This is a copy of the M1 Carbine made in China late in the Chinese civil war - likely between 1945 and 1949. While there was an attempt at factory production of a true M1 Carbine copy in northern China later, this example is actually a bolt action which simply copies the look and handling of the M1 Carbine (and uses M1 Carbine magazines).
A look at the a heavy machine gun of Russian design by Forgotten Weapons, the Kord. The Kord is a heavy machine gun developed in the 1990s as a replacement for the NSV. The NSV, while effective, was produced solely in Kazakhstan, leaving Russia without a domestic heavy machine gun after the Soviet Union's collapse. The Kord, an improved version of the NSV, was designed and manufactured in Russia, entering service in 2001.
What if there was no MP5? In this video Forgotten Weapons feature the The CAR-15 SD... "What is the MP5 was never adopted, and instead the vented barrel and telescoping silencer used by the SD model was instead developed for the AR-15? Broad River Tactical thought it would be fun to follow this line of thought, and builds an MP5SD style barrel and handguard system for the AR - and I think it's a very fun and very cool concept.
Another lesson in firearms history as Forgotten Weapons feature the Krešimir grenade launcher made in Croatia... "The Kresimir is honestly the most bonkers weapon I have come across in a long while. Made by IM Metall in Croatia at the beginning of the Croatian Homeland War circa 1991, this is a semiautomatic grenade launcher. Most grenade launchers fire a big cartridge with an explosive warhead, but not this thing.
Forgotten Weapons gets to try the AR57 rifle, an AR rifle that fires 5.7mm round fed with the P90 magazine. An airsoft version is made by Echo1 USA Airsoft... "The AR-57 is a system developed by Rhineland Arms in the early 2000s which uses the FN P90 magazine (and its 5.7x28mm cartridge) in an AR upper. The magazine mounts on top of the barrel, and it ejects downward through what would normally be the AR magazine well.
Perhaps you want a roast of real steel gun this time instead of Cisco of Airsoft GI doing his roast. Here is one from Polenar Tactical... "Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons takes a closer look at Polenar's AK and is absolutely appalled by the heavy and outdated modification to a classic Zastava M70 ab2 rifle."
