The gun is the spiritual descendant of the Stoner 63, but is more directly made on Eugene Stoner&#8217;s Model 86 light machine gun. It utilizes the constant recoil principle, with the bolt never actually contacting the rear of the receiver during the cycling process. This results in recoil being felt by the shooter as a continuous steady force instead of a rapid series of impacts and that makes it tremendously controllable. Not surprisingly, these guns are already being sold to military and security organizations worldwide&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.bbtv.com%2Fcollections%2Fforgotten-weapons&#038;v=6hsOrULshco&#038;event=video_description&#038;redir_token=bsA0r3es_7Jbc4TkvIEZjpjgkPt8MTU1NzY2NjE5NEAxNTU3NTc5Nzk0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forg&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\nPO Box 87647<br \/>\nTucson, AZ 85754<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-16-Knight\u2019s-Assault-Machine-Guns-at-the-Range.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-16-Knight\u2019s-Assault-Machine-Guns-at-the-Range-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-49654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-16-Knight\u2019s-Assault-Machine-Guns-at-the-Range-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-16-Knight\u2019s-Assault-Machine-Guns-at-the-Range-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-16-Knight\u2019s-Assault-Machine-Guns-at-the-Range-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-16-Knight\u2019s-Assault-Machine-Guns-at-the-Range-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screenshot_2019-07-16-Knight\u2019s-Assault-Machine-Guns-at-the-Range.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten Weapons Published on 11 May 2019 Preorders now open for my book, &#8220;Chassepot to FAMAS: French Military Rifles 1866-2016&#8221;!
