This is a community dedicated to historical arms, mechanically unique arms, and Ian McCollum's Forgotten Weapons content.
Posts requesting an identification of a particular gun (or other arm) are welcome.

Rules:
1) Treat Others in a Civil Manner. This is not the place to deride others for their race, sexuality, or etc. Personal insults of other members are not welcome here. Neither are calls for violence.
2) No Contemporary Politics Historical politics that influenced designs or adoption of designs are excluded from this rule. Acknowledgement of existing laws to explain designs is also permissable, so long as comments aren't in made to advocate or oppose a policy. Let's not make this a place where we battle over which color ties our politicians should have, or the issues of today.
3) No Advertising This rule doesn't apply to posting historical advertisements or showing more contemporary ads as a means of displaying information on an appropriate topic. The aim of this rule is to combat spam/irrelevant advertising campaigns.
4) Keep Post on Topic This rule will be enforced with leeway. Just keep it related to arms or Forgotten Weapons or closely adjacent content. If you feel you have something that's worth posting here that isn't about either of those (and doesn't violate other rules) feel free to reach out to a mod.
5) No NSFW Content Please refrain from posting uncensored extreme gore or sexualized content. If censored these posts may be fine.
Post Guide Lines
These are suggestions not rules.
-Provide a duration for videos. eg. [12:34]
-Provide a year to either indicate when a specific design was produced, patented, or released. If you have an older design being used in a recent conflict provide the year the picture was taken. Dates should be included to help contextualize, not necessarily give exact periods.
-Post a full URL, on mobile devices it can be hard to tell what you're clicking on if you only see "(Link)".
-Posts do not have to be just firearms. Blades, bows, etc. are also welcome.

MODERATORS
Despots sure like their gilded environments.
Whatever do you mean?
What causes the wall to look more yellow?
Poor white balance? I doubt it from the fact it is snapped professionals. Reflections of all the gold? Maybe?
Can't balance the white if half the pic is gold... and orange.
I don't think the camera makers ever planned for anything like that. Can't really blame them.
:')
You're not gonna fuckin believe this.
One of his guns is in the British Museum after some unknown third party claimed Hussein gifted it to them. Most of the others are in Cairo’s Presidential Gifts Museum.
Classic British Museum 🤣
FR, yeah, once in 2010 they used the riots to sneak out a sarcophagus from Cairo, Egypt.
Europe had a real sarcophagus shortage at the time.
TBF the ones left in egypt at the time were not in good condition after the riots.
They were also quite old.
