Forgotten Weapons
James Rummel links to a new blog, Forgotten Weapons that focuses on little known firearms, some of which were design failures and some of which merely did not find favor.
James himself has an interest in such things as one can see here and here.
My favorite of the 'almost were great' weapons is the old Evans rifle. With a helical magazine in the stock holding 36 rounds of .44 caliber ammo...in 1873. It was rejected by the army in the parsimonious days after the Civil War.
