There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
Yes T20E2 The grenade launcher for the T20E2, and its interface with the rifle’s substantial muzzle brake. Note that the launcher blocks the brake’s ports, rendering it ineffective.

I saw this video relating to mag fed Garands awhile back:

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” - Will Rogers
Forgotten Weapons is a popular website and YouTube channel that covers the history of antique, obscure and historically important 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. Forgotten Weapons frequently features unusual, rare, odd, experimental, 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. McCollum covers the history of such firearms in detail, and often explains how important certain firearms were to the history of warfare. He also disassembles the firearms to show how they operate, and demonstrates firing when possible.
McCollum also frequently appears at Rock Island Auction and James D. Julia (another auction house) in his Forgotten Weapons episodes.Occasionally, he also visited places such as the Cody's firearms museum, the Royal Armoury museum in Leeds, UK, or the Beretta company's own collection in Italy.
McCollum is also co-host of InRangeTV another popular YouTube channel where he competes in two gun shooting matches and talks about history with Karl Kasarda, a veteran of shooting sports.

I have been watching Forgotten Weapons for almost as long as I have been collecting (started watching his channel when he first made the Farquhar-Hill rifle video). A excellent channel which combines a good amount of knowledge with a variety of different firearms and topics (for example just watched a video on a German WWII armourers kit) well staying non-political (reminds me of a certain milsurp website I am also a member on). If you haven't watched his channel, I highly recommend it, it has a little bit of everything, and a lot of stuff I wouldn't know anything about otherwise.
