I'd say that Edwin Pugsley is the most underappreciated small arms engineer. He drove the process of reverse engineering the BAR and the designer of the Winchester Model 70 (which, through derivative of the M1903 and Model 54, remains an icon nearly 100 years after its debut).

On your segment about military uniforms and insignia. Ive always found this argument two fold. On one hand I have a complete recreation of my great grandfathers AEF Siberia 31s infantry uniform, to run matches with his sidearm and a 1903. Wouldn't that be a issue all the same? I totally understand the issue of running a match in modern gear with current insignia and ranks and so on. Where is the line? To me its always been that nobody remembers W.R. Hassall of company A 31st infantry regiment who was wounded in fall of 1919 figting a war everyone thought was over, but I remember.

I believe electronic triggers are actually popular in ISSF Rapid Fire pistol.

Apropos of nothing at all, imagine a Garand in 7X57 with a 20" barrel and 10-shot enbloc clips. And maybe an improved user friendly ZF up forward.

I think that wearing a recreation of your great grandfather's uniform (complete with insignia) is fantastic, and I think anyone who gives you a hard time over that is suffering serious rectal-cranial inversion.

Is it possible to watch your live streams somewhere? Or are they discord only?

This is a question I have been eager to ask for some time.

Unlike the New World or Africa, several regions of Asia developed distinctive matchlock styles that persisted into the 20th century. Why do you think matchlock technology remained so popular and persistent in South, Southeast, Central, and East Asia?

I appreciated your comments about the efficacy of the M1 Garand in the hands of a modern platoon of soldiers. Firing in burst mode has its place/uses, but single shot marksmanship is incredibly important (imo) even on today's battlefield. Having said that, it's probably necessary to look at this question in the context of tactics, battlefield environment (of course), etc., etc. Anyway, interesting question.

Thanks again for making Q&A’s with a. Audio version. I love to watch the videos but I also consume a lot of audio-only content in my day to day life so having a Forgotten Weapons Q&A available is awesome. I probably listen to these 3-5 times each :)

Is a Q&A with Bloke on the Range still forthcoming?

A couple comments: The earliest US use of 'stripper clips' that I am aware of was the 6mm Lee Navy. The clips of ammo were packed in bandoleers for issue. The '03 ammo was of course packed in clips, in bandoleers. The bandoleers may have been carried in "rucksacks" but were normally worn over the shoulder. M14 and M16 bandoleers of cartridges have the magazine loading adaptor in one pocket of the bandoleer. M1 Carbine stripper clips(developed post WWII) had the adaptor on each clip of 10 rounds.

Regarding AP ammunition as general issue: In my readings on WWII there are multiple references to having AP(Cal. .30M2) as general issue combat ammunition. Obviously body armor was not a factor nor did anyone think rifle ammo could penetrate a tank. What was pertinent was penetration of walls and trees. I can personally attest to Cal. .30 AP M2 going through a fairly thick tree.

Did some testing recently with 5.56 NATO 62 grain "penetrator" ammo and level III body armor. It failed most miserably at every distance and barrel length tried! Where as 55 grain NATO XM193 zipped through the plates, even at 35 yards from the muzzle of a 16" barreled carbine! We even saw 55g exposed lead "soft pointed" bullets make holes that the "penetrators" failed at, even when we pushed those penetrators at several hundreds of feet per second faster!

Yes, the 55 gr. "ball" will penetrate! From personal experience, I know it will penetrate the hood metal of a '75 pick-up. Something about sighting an AR-15(original high profile sights) over the top of the vehicle hood and wondering why I wasn't getting hits on the target! Fortunately the vehicle battery escaped damage and I was able to repair the wiring enough to drive home. In rifle calibers, as far as I am concerned, the Cal. .30AP M2 is king.
