This video delves into the North Vietnamese K-50M submachine gun, a fascinating modification of the PPSh-41. It details how Chinese Type 50 guns were altered in small workshops to resemble the French MAT-49 in handling. Key modifications included a new lower receiver with an AK pistol grip, a MAT-49-style collapsing wire stock, a shortened barrel shroud, removal of the muzzle brake, and an AK/SKS-style front sight block. Mechanically, the firearm retains its open-bolt operation, firing the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge and featuring the original Shpagin's semi-automatic selector. While compatible with PPSh-41 drums, it was typically issued with 35-round box magazines.
