Time to begin another year of Forgotten Weapons! It’s going to be another good one, with a great variety of guns from an assortment of collections, museums, and auction houses. I am stepping back slightly on the video schedule, from 7/week to 6/week; taking Sunday off from video posting. Not to relax, naturally, but to be able to dedicate some time to other projects. I am eager to expand my archival work, which has been basically stalled for want to time. I will also be starting my next reference book, which is very exciting. Thanks to everyone who supports my work, and here’s to a great 2020!
Happy New Year for you and yours. Good luck on your channel.
Jonathan up here in New Hampshire.
Now, that’s original : the background with the bottles typical of the country along with sample firearms and the hat.
We have to match the bottles with the presented hardware :
Bordeaux wine for the grunts, Cahors wine for the officers.
(I guess similar rules apply in other armies)
Just out of curiosity, what is your education background?? You are well spoken, put up a good camera front, and you are very relaxed before the camera lens. It made me wonder if you are, or were, a Teacher of some sort. I have been a subscriber for years and your channel is one of the ones I look to each day. Keep up the good work, Happy New Year, and I look forward for more from you!
Nothing of the sort, years of experience did that, his very first videos were goofy sometimes.
Happy New Year to all.Best of luck in 2020.
Really glad you are going to have a day a week off. I think I suggested this a year or so ago. If I didn’t then I should have.
Which day in the week will have no new Forgotten Weapon? Forgotten Weapons Free Thursday? Once you decide the day please stick to it. Once a month channels can get away with almost a week late. Once a fortnight that do not mention a a day (1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month) have a several day hit zone. 6 days a week needs the days defnining; even if it’s it Tues or Weds no show.
The planned growth of your archive is the best news you have given for several years. I think I first started watching when the the ‘Sunday Archive/Picture(?)’ was still a feature.
You do documentaries of the highest present quality; and of a quality that stands up to any of this century, and a lot of the last, but you had single pictures that said more than an hour of video,
The French Marine with his CETME https://maven.io/forgottenweapons/other/french-marine-commandos-with-cetme-rifles-R2KJNHmb00GPmnALf2t2AA
The one of Finns being given Carcano’s https://www.forgottenweapons.com/vintage-saturday-you-sent-us-what/ Which is my favourite because my mum was Finnish’ she and most of her brothers served in the last world war, and all those Finnish men in the picture look like at least one of my family, especially the one who is really thinking: ‘You Sent Us What?”
Great channel getting better with time. Archiving with ability of returning to already published stuff is good idea. All the best to all in New Year!
I look forward to this every week. Thank you for continuing this site! Passing this on. will you have any future information on Johnson rifles and machine guns. I recently learned that Mr.Johnson created a semi auto rifle resembling his submachine gun. Any chance of learning if anyone may have manufacturing prints for the rifles that can be purchased?
Forgotten Weapons has videos on The Johnson rifle and light machine gun.
We have been blessed with an abundance of EXCELLENT material from Ian.
I strongly urge you to skip videos on both Saturday and Sunday. No human can keep up your pace forever, and you deserve to enjoy life apart from feeding video facts to your many gun fans. Take some time for writing, shooting, traveling for pleasure, etc. You certainly have earned some leisure.
Thanks for ALL you do, but it really is more than we could possibly expect, especially from basically a one man band.
We’ll be here.
Hello Ian, happy New year. I was wondering if you have already done a video or can do a video on the Spanish maid star Firestar m 43 series handguns. I actually found one partially buried and after attempting to clean it up a little bit I discovered that it wasn’t as far gone as I suspected it would be. It looks like I might actually be able to get it functioning again but I would like to know a little bit more about the history and the function of the pistol before I start to reassemble it
Your article is very meticulous and impressive for me, I hope to get more good posts.
I will try to help with writing an essay, because many people want to know it. But now it can be done very easily and you don’t need anything for it. Therefore, be sure to think about how to learn how to write any written work, such as the same essays, without much difficulty and problems. It is not difficult now and everyone can do it. Be sure to look at these materials https://justdomyhomework.com/blog/successful-scholarship-essay , here just the same professionals explain about writing any essay and how to do it. I hope that this will be useful for everyone now as well. Good luck and success!
Thanks for article! I’ve always respected people with talent in writing. My compositions could always be thrown into the trash can. After looking at the reviews https://www.topwritersreview.com/reviews/bestdissertation/ I solved my problem and decided to ask for help. Paradoxically, the more time I sat on the composition, the worse it turned out.
Essays are so different; it’s hard to count them all. But it’s the most fair thing to turn to experienced teams for assistance. Now I know it’s better than actually writing a wise tutorial to my friends when I’ve tried, for example. It was poor and the ratings were also low. Then I met a writer for the buy an essay https://www.wiseessays.com/buy-an-essay and they helped me quickly to write a paper. I use them every day now.
I adore weapons and have been to many exhibitions. I even tried to write an essay on this topic. But due to the heavy workload with assignments at the university, I did not meet the deadlines. That’s why I decided to turn to personal statement writing service https://www.personalstatementwritingservices.net/ for writing my essay on time. Unfortunately, the workload at the university is very high. And it is difficult to write a high-quality work in a short time.
very good
