This video provides an in-depth look at the Zastava M51, a rare prototype Yugoslav submachine gun that predates the M56. The presenter details its design influences, including elements from the Beretta M38 and PPSh-41, and notes its collapsing stock reminiscent of the Polish PM63. The video features a close examination, disassembly, and discussion of the M51's historical significance and limited documentation. Special thanks are given to the Croatian Police Museum for access to this unique firearm. The content also touches upon the evolution towards the Yugo M56.

This video explores the Croatian HS-91, a unique submachine gun from the early 1990s Homeland War. Dubbed a 'mystery hybrid,' it combines elements of the Yugoslav M56 and Soviet PPSh-41. The HS-91 utilizes the barrel, magazine, and magazine well from the M56, while its bolt, safety, receiver construction, and firing system are derived from the PPSh-41. Chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev, it accepts standard M56 magazines. This appears to be the only known example, currently housed in the Croatian Police Museum in Zagreb, who are thanked for granting access to film this rare firearm.

This video examines the Yugoslav M49/57 submachine gun, a firearm heavily inspired by the Soviet PPSh-41 but featuring a distinct milled construction and internal mechanisms more akin to the Beretta 38 family. The description highlights similarities in controls like the fire selector and magazine release, while noting differences in safety mechanisms and disassembly. The M49/57 was offered in 7.62mm Tokarev and 9mm Parabellum for export but saw limited documented sales, eventually being succeeded in Yugoslav service by the M56 SMG. The video thanks Marstar for providing the M49/57 for examination.

This video delves into the Yugoslavian M56 submachine gun, a design inspired by the German MP40. Produced in 1956 to succeed the M49 (itself a PPSh-41 copy), the M56 is noted for its simplicity in manufacturing but presents usability challenges. The description highlights its tendency to disassemble during firing if not properly assembled and its chambering for the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge. The video likely provides an in-depth look at this unique firearm's history, design, and potential quirks.
