This video is crazy cool. Awesome seeing you guys work

It's so strange seeing Jonathan Ferguson without gloves on

Is this the Mike who hates it when you call the Deagle the Deagle?

Noice!

Where did you get the .280 ammo from?

@@hughjampton7518 yes it is. They made EM-2s in all sorts of calibers including 7.62. The one in the video has 7.62 painted on the side of the trigger housing to denote this.

Sorry guys I can't afford your book but I think I have the timeline for the British bull pupps sorted. So in 1943 Russel Robinson invents his SR2 bullpup machine gun whilst working at the Army Inventions Directorate ( Aus) demonstrating the concept, Major Hall is working there. Hall goes to shrivenham (UK) on course after designing a variant on the Owen Gun, the Kokoda. Hall gets a design problem on course. Which he astutely uses the FG42 as the starting point. The barrel, springs sights and form of the but. The design is mutch lighter and compact than the prediorcessor. This catches on at CEAD at Cheshent hall, they see the FG 42 influence in Hall rifle but don't like the action, instead using more of the FG 42 in the Em1 7.69 mg which is big and heavy. The ideal calibre pannel is making deliberation the Enfield wants their new rifle to be designed around the cartridge late 1947-48. Wanting the rifles to have the attributes of halls design EM1 and Em2 , halls rifle initially being included EM3( Adder) . The rest we all know it's funny how the Brits got sidetracked from the SLEM2 because off Hall. But never really gave it a good crack at getting it going. Funny how it is always impaired to the EM series instead of other late war designs SLEM2, FG42 and German, Soviet and American self loaders. It was lighter approximately 7lb, shorter with a 19 inch barrel. Would have fitted a timeless .303 equivalent to the .303 Fraser . Had other ability to clipper strip feed. For a 1945 Briton it was lightyears ahead of the competition. In a familiar calibre.

That's definitely not a 5.56. Much smoother than 7.62 though. 1X optics have made a come back as well.
