This video explores Walther's less common submachine guns, the MPK and MPL, developed in the late 1950s and produced from 1963 to 1985. These simple blowback, open-bolt firearms were available in short (MPK) and long (MPL) barrel configurations. The video highlights their cost-effective stamped sheet metal construction, non-reciprocating charging handle, and effective safety sear. Despite some design quirks, such as the sights, and facing stiff competition from contemporaries like the Uzi and MP5, the Walther SMGs secured contracts with various police forces and military units globally. Ultimately, while not a runaway success, they proved to be solid and reliable weapons.

This video showcases the KK-Mpi-69, a .22 rimfire training variant of the East German stamped AKM. It details the firearm's unique features, including a blowback bolt assembly, proprietary front trunnion, and standard AKM receiver and fire control group. The absence of a gas block and the short-range calibrated sights are highlighted. The video also mentions the use of standard AKM magazine bodies adapted for 15-round .22 rimfire magazines and notes that approximately 50,000 units were produced between 1970 and 1975. The filming was made possible by the Institut de Recherche Criminelle de la Gendarmerie Nationale (IRCGN).
This video delves into the enduring prevalence of the blowback operating system in modern Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) and Submachine Guns (SMGs). Despite the existence of more complex systems, blowback continues to be a popular choice in new designs. The video aims to explore the reasons behind its continued use and offers thoughts and insights on this classic firearm mechanism.
This video explores the compatibility of CMMG's Radial Delayed Blowback operating system with other firearm systems. Mike, the presenter, provides insights into how this specific blowback mechanism interacts with different platforms. The description encourages viewers to visit the CMMG Insider website for updates and new releases, and to check out CMMG's social media on Instagram and Twitter for further engagement.
This Q&A video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the multifaceted world of submachine guns (SMGs). The discussion covers historical aspects like the origins of SMGs and early development, as well as contemporary relevance, comparing them to carbines and PDWs. Various technical aspects are explored, including magazine designs, different operating mechanisms (blowback vs. delayed), caliber choices (.357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, 10mm, .38 Super, .300 Blackout), and trigger quality. The video also touches upon cultural distinctions in firearm design, military adoption, training opportunities, and competitive shooting events related to SMGs.
This video features a rigorous test of the TROY KRYPTOS suppressor, specifically focusing on its performance with 5.56 NATO ammunition. The test involves sustained fire, including eight full magazine dumps, to evaluate the suppressor's ability to manage back pressure, heat dissipation, and overall blowback. The video highlights the suppressor's reflex-style construction and its impact on weight and balance. It also details the standardized testing methodology, including specific rifles, ammunition, and sound measurement equipment, and mentions other suppressors included in the series for comparison. The ultimate goal is to determine if the reflex design offers advantages in controlling blowback or introduces its own challenges.
RECOIL's Best Suppressor Test continues with an in-depth evaluation of the LMT Advanced Technologies ATIONLT ION LT .30-cal suppressor on a 5.56 NATO AR-15 platform. The video highlights the suppressor's surprisingly light weight (18 ounces) for its long profile and tubeless design, while testing its performance under extreme conditions including sustained mag dumps, heat buildup, blowback, and SOCOM Table II endurance trials. It also touches on the manufacturing pedigree of LMT and compares tubeless versus traditional suppressor designs, ultimately assessing its suitability for high-volume 5.56 use or multi-caliber applications.
This video provides an in-depth look at the Erma EMP-36, a rare German submachine gun prototype from the mid-1930s. The presenter highlights its external design features, such as the pistol grip and underfolding stock, which influenced the later MP38 and MP40. The video discusses the EMP-36's complex blowback open bolt system and unique internal components. It also credits the VHU (Czech Military History Institute) for access to the prototype and promotes their museum in Prague as a worthwhile visit for history enthusiasts.
This video from CMMG focuses on advancements to their innovative Radial Delayed Blowback operating system, first introduced in 2017. The description highlights how the system has been expanded to accommodate new calibers and integrated into their DISSENT line's Compact Action. The latest developments are now being applied back to the original platforms that utilized the system.
