Forgotten Weapons is a website and YouTube channel, created and presented by Ian McCollum, that covers the history of antique, obscure and historically important firearms. For over 12 years, Ian has been making informative videos that expertly detail the history, development, and often the assembly and disassembly of the weapons he covers. He has also written several books, including Pistols of the Warlords: Chinese Domestic Handguns, 1911–1949, and Chassepot to FAMAS: French Military Rifles, 1866–2016. Ian won The 2022 Gundies Most Influential Male of the Year Award and The 2024 Gundies Beth Gun Reviewer Award.
