Forgotten Weapons is a blog and YouTube channel started in 2011 by firearms enthusiast Ian McCollum. The show focuses on rare and forgotten firearms throughout history, how they function, and the context surrounding their design. Initially, the site mostly featured text posts with the occasional video supplement, but as the popularity grew, the YouTube channel has become the main focus. Most videos follow a similar format with Ian sitting behind a table with the firearm of the day where he discusses the weapon's history and context before bringing the camera in closer to show the viewers how the weapon functions and comes apart. Occasionally, the weapon owners allow Ian to take the weapon out on the range for a live fire demonstration.

Ian also runs another gun related YouTube channel with his friend Karl Kasarda called InRange TV which can be found here .
