This video explores the lever-delayed prototype SMG series from the French MAS (Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Étienne) developed in 1948. While the Tulle MAT-49 eventually won the adoption competition, the MAS design showcased an interesting lever-delayed system, reminiscent of later FAMAS rifles. The content covers various prototypes, highlighting differences in stock design and barrel length, and discusses their performance in trials, noting the complexity and cost of the lever-delayed action compared to simpler blowback systems. Access to these prototypes was granted by the IRCGN.

This video features firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson discussing the Veselý SMG, a British World War II submachine gun that ultimately failed to enter mass production. Ferguson highlights its development as a wartime alternative to the Sten Gun, detailing why the Veselý 43 paratrooper variant was deemed too complex and expensive. Despite its shortcomings, the weapon's innovative 'double-stack' magazine system caught the attention of the War Office, delaying its eventual discontinuation by the Sterling SMG.
