This video delves into the history and design of the Hyde/Marlin M2, an often overlooked American submachine gun from World War II. It was developed as a more affordable and lighter alternative to the Thompson, featuring a unique metal sintering process for its receiver. Despite proving accurate and ergonomic in testing, the M2's production contract was ultimately canceled due to the development of the even cheaper M3 'Grease Gun'. Only 400 M2s were delivered, with a mere six known surviving examples today, making it a rare piece of firearm history.

The video features a viewer-made reproduction, as only about 500 original M2s were produced, with few surviving.
