This video provides an in-depth look at the FNAB 43, a rare Italian submachine gun developed during World War II for RSI and German forces, as well as some partisan units. Manufactured in 1943-1944 with a limited production run of approximately 1,000 units, the FNAB 43 is noted for its expensive milled receivers and lever-delayed blowback mechanism. The video highlights the intriguing journey of many surviving FNAB 43s, which were smuggled into Algeria for independence forces, had their original markings removed and replaced with deceptive "Maschine Pistole P.M. 43" stamps, before eventually ending up in France where this particular example was deactivated. The firearm is presented in cooperation with the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels.
