97: The First Lever Guns Were INSANE (and Mostly Failed) | No Lowballers #podcast
While Logan and Allen are off-site this week, we're flashing back to one of the most requested segments from our trip to LeverFest at Range Ready Studios in Louisiana. In this special presentation, Logan Metesh of High Caliber History takes center stage to walk through the surprisingly weird and brilliant early history of lever-action rifles — including the names, designs, and ammo you've never heard of.
In this episode:
The post-war origins of H&K and how Mauser engineers birthed a legend
The G3 battle rifle and the rise of modular military design
Why the MP5 is still the king of subguns
A breakdown of roller-delayed blowback and what makes it so special
Mark 23: misunderstood, overbuilt and absolutely mission-capable
Why the USP is still one of the toughest pistols ever made
The “gateway drug” that is the VP9
Inside the legendary Gray Room and H&K’s unmatched innovation timeline
What really killed the G11 caseless ammo project
The newest HK guns you can actually get your hands on today
🔧 From the Cold War to the CC9, from roller-delayed magic to .45-caliber beast-mode, this episode covers everything that makes HK one of the most respected names in the industry.
🎧 Listen now on your favorite platform and let us know your favorite HK design — or your pick for the most overlooked German gun of all time.
