@SPEvo112 The first iteration of the .280 British circa 1949-1951 was a 7x43mm case. Fired a 130 or 140 grain bullet at 2400-2600 fps (velocity was increased during its use). It is notable for being used in the first trials FAL rifles.

The .280 (7x43) was a farmer who was inconspicuously strong from doing real work all day, while 6.8x51 is a roided-out monster who will die at 34 from a heart attack.

@sovereign1914 Just to be devil's advocate here, the US Army got the M4, M249, and M240 all from FN, and nobody thought that was some sort of fraud.

@counter_tracker @Civ_Tac We have a book on these coming, actually.

@hws5mp It's a really easy question; where is the quote from? If nobody can identify it, then it's not a real quote.

[Forgotten Weapons @ForgotWeapons]

@ChaoticEnigma @TripHazard11 No, it means that one specific person can do it that one time, unless the government successfully appeals the decision.

A note to FFLs: While it is illegal to remove a serial number, guns made prior to 1968 are not legally required to have them. You don't need to make one up. A Remington Berthier does not actually have serial number "87654".

[Forgotten Weapons @ForgotWeapons]

@backtobasicsplz Yeah, but this is referencing a specific auction I found where they decided to use the rear sight range numbers as the serial number.

@yo1954111 Guess it's an unexpected @jjreeves cross over too

[Forgotten Weapons @ForgotWeapons]

Unexpected gun and dive channel crossover: "when you want to win, hire a Finn".

@Rebels_Raiders LAPD picks up the trail when Waingro uses his own credit card to order red anodized parts delivered to the depository.

@RyanMcbeth @AJSovine But the same designation was also used by the Air Force in the 60s for the XM-177, the original Colt carbine version of the M16. So if you search for "GAU-5/A" you will find references to both, and they are not the same gun.

[Forgotten Weapons @ForgotWeapons]

@RyanMcbeth @AJSovine Now I really wish I'd done a video on the modern GAU-5/A...but FYI for folks, the designation has been used twice. The current aircrew survival gun is basically a shortened M4 with a detachable barrel and folding grip for stowage. (con't)

[Forgotten Weapons @ForgotWeapons]

@thefrog1192 Yes, if I knew anyone there.
