Forgotten Weapons is a popular website and YouTube channel that covers the history of antique, obscure and historically important[1] firearms. Presenter Ian McCollum, who encountered some difficulty with YouTube deleting his videos, also airs on Full 30. McCollum improved the quality of his videos by means of an IndieGogo campaign, the proceeds of which were used to purchase high-quality camera equipment.[2]

Videos

Forgotten Weapons frequently features unusual,[3] rare, odd, experimental,[4] or one-off firearms, such as paratroop versions of the Empire of Japan's Arisaka Type 99 rifle featuring a folding stock attached to a cabinet hinge.[5] McCollum covers the history of such firearms in detail, and often explains how important certain firearms were to the history of warfare.[6]

McCollum also frequently appears at Rock Island Auction in his Forgotten Weapons episodes.[7]
