      This question comes up a fair bit I might need to edit the sidebar to be more clear.

      This is a community for fans of the YouTube channel/website Forgotten Weapons run by Ian McCollum. The channel typically shows him telling the history about a particular firearm then taking it apart to show any interesting mechanical features. Or highlighting how they might be otherwise interesting.

      Typically posts here will be about the history or engineering of firearms. Although given the size of Lemmy and there not being other communities, it’s also be open to non firearm weapons discussion (like swords).

      It seems a fair number of the members of this community have actually joined not knowing about the original channel over the months.

      This particular post is adjacent to that channel’s trend of coverage on how small arms are being used in Ukraine. (Given the heavy use of FPV drones)

        I didn’t catch your response until after I deleted my comment. And I deleted my comment because I read the sidebar and saw this sort of thing was explicitly permitted and I’m an idiot.

        Thank you very much for your detailed and enlightening response
