In the M3A1 version the wire stock incorporated a useful and effective magazine loading tool. For special forces groups or special units such as paratroopers, the submachine gun was portable and suitable for Close-Quarters Battle CQB and, with general infantry, it served well alongside established rifle units and machine gun elements in nearly any environment. Great article. Osprey Publishing. Osprey Publishing added it May 06, The submachine gun had gained steam in the interwar years following World War 1 as an interim firearm for use by general infantry, special forces and vehicle crews requiring self-defense. The primary difference between the MP38 and the subsequent MP40 rested in the production of the receiver. Toggle navigation. In Viet Nam I was an 81 mortar radio operator. That Thompson got heaver and heaver, I began to believe it was made of solid steel it was. In stark contrast to the Thompson, the M3 was simple, ugly, and utilitarian. The whole open bolt on fully automatic guns is so that a round does not cook off in the red hot chamber.

However, later confrontations with Soviet troops such as the Battle of Stalingrad , where entire enemy units were armed with PPSh submachine guns, the Germans found themselves out-gunned in short range urban combat which caused a shift in their tactics, and by the end of the war the MP 40 and its derivatives were being issued to entire assault platoons on a limited basis.

Some found their way into guerrilla groups such as the Viet Cong or African guerrillas. This weapon shot from a standard round box magazine and the caliber was the standard 9x19mm Parabellum. A few hits with the 45s, and the target died. Although the MP 40 was generally reliable, a major weakness was its round magazine. WWII German submachine gun. Receivers typically began life as huge chunks of forged steel before being cut or turned into something mechanically complex, sometimes on machines still driven by steam. However, the design proved unsuccessful due to weight and reliability issues. March This makes the gun a bit more awkward to tote. This tidy little submachine gun also armed German Panzer troops on their Blitzkrieg across Europe early in the war. Regardless, the Allies knew the weapon as the "Schmeisser". Hellgate Press. Its one of a kind…. German soldiers were trained to grasp either the handhold on the underside of the weapon or the magazine housing with the supporting hand to avoid feed malfunctions. Many to most of them had cut their teeth on Saturday afternoon crime serials and going to war with a gangster chopper held an allure. His training was to aim at the left toe, and let recoil walk the rounds across the target. Unlike the double-column, dual-feed magazine insert found on the Thompson M variants, the MP 40 used a double-column, single-feed insert. Retrieved 6 April John Robertson rated it it was amazing Dec 25, Year: Schmeisser had designed the MP 18 , which was the first mass-produced submachine gun. In this circumstance, the bolt might drop back far enough to pick up a round but not far enough to engage the sear. I know most machine guns are designed to fire from an open bolt to help minimize recoil and make it more controllable. This allowed the gun to function in the face of modest damage. The only mode of fire was fully automatic, but the relatively low rate of fire enabled single shots with controlled trigger pulls. Like the guy said, 1 shot, 2 shots, 3 — you could do whatever you want. About this Product.

However, the design proved unsuccessful due to weight and reliability issues. World War II changed most everything about planet earth. The MP38 submachine gun is often referred to as the "Schmeisser" after engineer Hugo Schmeisser though he had nil to do with the development of the MP38, making his association with the firearm technically incorrect - the MP38's design is actually formally attributed to Heinrich Vollmer. That these guns share so many similar morphological characteristics is intriguing. Thanks ad more machine gun articles in the future would be great. The construction process of the new MP38 called upon sheet metal stampings and die-casting while incorporating use of plastics in the furniture instead of wood. Chiefly, her manufacturing process was rather inefficient considering the requirement for steel in wartime Germany leading German authorities to request a cheaper mass-production model following the same design form - this became the famous MP40 series. There are several semi-automatic variants and cosmetic replicas of the MP 40 available for civilian ownership in the U. Still another fault lay in the bolt assembly that, when cocked and the weapon accidentally knocked, could cause the bolt to move forward, initiating the firing process and allowing the weapon to fire on its own. Firing from an open bolt not only does not reduce recoil, it kills accuracy AKA controllability. Appreciate your effort to enlighten us on these firearms. While offering reliable feed geometry, this design was prone to stoppage when dirty and required a magazine loading tool to load. William Paley rated it liked it Jul 12, The butt looped downwards to collapse along the underside of the gun body along a two-point pivoting assembly at the rear of the receiver. It was rapidly adopted by Germany's armed forces and first saw combat during the invasion of Poland in You recollections are much appreciated. Rate-of-Fire: rounds-per-minute. Once in practice during the Polish Campaign of , the MP38 soon shown limitations - some even lethal to its owners. The single-feed insert resulted in increased friction against the remaining cartridges moving upwards towards the feed lips, occasionally resulting in feed failures; this problem was exacerbated by the presence of dirt or other debris. Most of his work is rendered in Adobe Photoshop using a Cintiq monitor. And I much prefer the. The MP 38 was one of the first of the lighter, more compact "second generation" of submachine guns, utilizing stamped-steel and plastic components that made it easier to produce than earlier types such as the M Thompson and the MP 18, which featured wooden stocks and employed machined-steel parts. Development of the MP38 originated from an Oberkommando der Wehrmacht requirement for a submachine gun to stock the inventory of the fast-moving German Army.

  • Thompson Brochure 9Th Edition.Indd
    9th Edition Own A Piece Of American History Thompson Submachine Gun General John T. Thompson, a graduate of West Point, began his research in 1915 for an automatic weapon to supply the American military. World War I was dragging on and casualties were mounting. Having served in the U.S. Army’s ordnance supplies and logistics, General Thompson understood that greater fi repower was needed to end the war. Thompson was driven to create a lightweight, fully automatic fi rearm that would be effective against the contemporary machine gun. His idea was “a one-man, hand held machine gun. A trench broom!” The fi rst shipment of Thompson prototypes arrived on the dock in New York for shipment to Europe on November 11, 1918 the day that the War ended. In 1919, Thompson directed Auto-Ordnance to modify the gun for nonmilitary use. The gun, classifi ed a “submachine gun” to denote a small, hand-held, fully automatic fi rearm chambered for pistol ammunition, was offi cially named the “Thompson submachine gun” to honor the man most responsible for its creation. With military and police sales low, Auto-Ordnance sold its submachine guns through every legal outlet it could. A Thompson submachine gun could be purchased either by mail order, or from the local hardware or sporting goods store. Trusted Companion for Troops It was, also, in the mid ‘20s that the Thompson submachine gun was adopted for service by an Dillinger’s Choice offi cial military branch of the government. The U.S. Coast Guard issued Thompsons to patrol While Auto-Ordnance was selling the Thompson submachine gun in the open market in the ‘20s, boats along the eastern seaboard.

  • The DIY STEN Gun
    The DIY STEN Gun Practical Scrap Metal Small Arms Vol.3 By Professor Parabellum Plans on pages 11 to 18 Introduction The DIY STEN Gun is a simplified 1:1 copy of the British STEN MKIII submachine gun. The main differences however include the number of components having been greatly reduced and it's overall construction made even cruder. Using the simple techniques described, the need for a milling machine or lathe is eliminated making it ideal for production in the home environment with very limited tools. For obvious legal reasons, the demonstration example pictured was built as a non-firing display replica. It's dummy barrel consists of a hardened steel spike welded and pinned in place at the chamber end and a separate solid front portion protruding from the barrel shroud for display. It's bolt is also inert with no firing pin. This document is for academic study purposes only. (Disassembled: Back plug, recoil spring, bolt, magazine, sear and trigger displayed) (Non-functioning dummy barrel present on display model) Tools & construction techniques A few very basic and inexpensive power tools can be used to simulate machining actions usually reserved for a milling machine. Using a cheap angle grinder the average hobbyist has the ability to perform speedy removal of steel using a variety of cutting and grinding discs. Rather than tediously using a hacksaw to cut steel sheet, an angle grinder fitted with a 1mm slitting disc will accurately cut a straight line through steel of any thickness in mere seconds. Fitted with a 2mm disc it can be used to easily 'sculpt' thick steel into any shape in a fraction of the time it takes to manually use a hand file.

The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

  • Understanding Distance Shooting and the Type of Firearm from the Analysis
    Understanding distance shooting and the type of !rearm from the analysis of gunshot sounds Nikolaos E. Tsiatis Police Major Forensic Science Division of Hellenic Police, Athens, Greece Abstract In order to study gunshot sounds, experimental shootings were conducted in an open shooting range to record the sound of gunshots. The results were tabulated for a total of 168 gunshots. Shots were red using pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, ries and shotguns in dierent calibres from selected distances relative to the recording devices. Both a conventional sound level meter (SLM) and a measurement microphone were used. These were placed at selected points behind the shooting position and the sound of each shot was recorded. At the same time, the signal received by the microphone was transferred to a computer connected through an appropriate audio interface with a pre-amplier. The peak amplitude of the gunshot was calculated in the accepted engineering units (dB) of sound pressure level. The shortest distance for the recordings was 9.60 m and the furthest was 38.40 m. The experiment was carried out using the following calibres: 6.35 mm, 7.62 mm Tokarev, 7.65 mm, 9 mm Short, 9 mm Makarov, 9 mm Parabellum, .45 Auto, .22 LR, .32 S&W, .38 S&W, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 7.62 mm Kalashnikov and 12 GA. A decrease of the peak amplitude, equivalent to the increasing of the distance, was observed as expected. Values appeared to follow the inverse square law. By analyzing a recorded gunshot sound it is possible to calculate the distance between that discharged rearm and the recording device.
