53m
Arsenals of History is an annual symposium of firearms museum, and met this year at the newly renovated Cody Firearms Museum. The theme of this year's symposium was social media and museums. This presentation was given by Logan Metesh of High Caliber History on the topic of museum staff and visitor demographics and interests. Where do today's collectors get their information, and how does this impact their interest in firearms museums? Mr. Metesh has previously worked for the National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution, and NRA Museum.
I apologize for the difficulty in understanding some of the audience comments - I did not realize it would be such an interactive presentation, and only had one microphone on Mr. Metesh. I did my best to boost the audio to capture the rest of the room, but it is still difficult at times.

The PM-63 Rak is a pretty interesting Polish Cold War machine pistol or personal defense weapon. It fires from an open bolt, but uses a slide like a pistol rather than a bolt in an enclosed receiver like a typical SMG. There are several other interesting elements to the design, so let's take a cl...
