      From an aesthetic standpoint, I think it's because that is the time period where the interpretation of what a gun looks like is the broadest due to the rapid advancement of technology. Let's not forget that we went from single shot muzzle loading pistols to what we can be recognizably modern handgun in about 70 years.

      This design was well ahead of the manufacturing of the day. It could be easily be made with a combination of additive and subtractive techniques and it could be a viable weapon.
      Stripper clips are a compact and secure way to carry ammunition. An integral suppressor could, with the right cartridge, make it safe to shoot without ear protection.
      If semi-automatic pistols become illegal and a revolver isn't suitable, this is a viable solution for many use cases.

    I'll disagree on one point. It seems to me that the internal magazine in that pistol is better than the cylinder of a revolver. Carrying rounds in a strip would be much less bulky than a speed loader, and it would be much faster to reload than revolvers that use a loading gate instead of being a break-open or swing-out. I'd even say that the magazine design is almost as practical as a detachable box. I'm really impressed by how simple it is and how streamlined it makes the pistol.

    • @harleymitchelly5542
      @harleymitchelly5542 3 года назад +11

      In the Welrod's case, there wasn't a straightforward need. If you're using a Welrod according to its intended purpose, you're more or less at extremely close range and your target is "already dead."
      Welrods were also supposed to be fairly cheap, the originals don't actually have a grip, using Colt 1911 magazines with some rubber or epoxy applied to the bottom of it if I recall, and were designed to look like bike pumps when unloaded. It's a case of trying to answer a question I doubt anyone was asking. What was needed was a gun capable of offing a guy at very close ranges that made little, if any, noise. Frilly things like "return fire" were not a part of the design docket.

    I watched your video on the air crewman revolver and I found a S&W Air crewman with matching numbers as well as a 5” K38. Your videos inspired me to collect weird and rare guns. Namely cop guns but I may expand into trainer guns too.

    To compete with revolvers they would have needed larger magazines but an intended for much reuse stripper clip would give faster reloads than the contemporary revolvers.

    So, what I got from the video is that pistol is almost a perfect encapsulation of the Austro-Hungarian firearms development culture of its day: the people who were looking for the most advanced small arms designs and ideas while still casting their cannons from bronze.
