This video showcases the classic Reising M50 machine gun, a firearm designed in the late 1930s and likely manufactured around 1940, making it over 80 years old. The description highlights its historical significance and recommends the book "The Many Firearm Designs of Eugene Raising" by David Albert for further information. An Amazon link to the book is provided.
This video explores the Reising M50 submachine gun, a .45 ACP firearm developed by Eugene Reising and produced by Harrington & Richardson. Unlike the Thompson, the Reising was designed to be light, handy, and inexpensive to produce, firing from a closed bolt with a delayed blowback action. The US Marine Corps initially adopted both the M50 and M55 models in 1942, particularly for their Paramarine unit, due to their compact nature and the unavailability of Thompsons. While praised for accuracy and handiness in roles like ship boarding and guard duties, the Reising M50 ultimately proved susceptible to fouling and malfunctions in demanding Pacific combat conditions, leading to its replacement by other arms and reassignment to secondary duties. The examined M50 is an early production model with distinct features.

This video showcases a collection of historical and modern firearms demonstrated in slow motion. The description lists specific models used, ranging from World War era rifles like the SVT-40, Steyr Hahn, Mosin Nagant PU Sniper, Kar98k, and M1 Garand, to more contemporary firearms such as the M1-A/M-14 and Hungarian 85M (AKM). The slow-motion presentation highlights the mechanical actions of each firearm, offering a visual study for enthusiasts. The title, 'Guns in Slow Motion,' directly indicates the content's focus on the mechanics and aesthetics of firearms.
This video analyzes the Reising submachine gun, a WWII-era firearm that showed initial promise but faltered in combat due to poor quality control, awkward ergonomics, and low magazine capacity, leading to its rejection by Marines. Despite its battlefield failures, the Reising found a niche in US and international law enforcement due to its affordability and reliability in cleaner, urban environments. The review details its three variants: the M50, M55 (for paratroopers), and the semi-automatic M60 (still NFA legal). The video also includes thanks to Proxibid and Ventura Munitions, and a call to support TFBTV on Patreon.
This video explores the Reising M50 and M55 submachine guns, manufactured by Harrington & Richardson during WWII. Facing a shortage of submachine guns, the US Marine Corps, particularly paratroopers and tank crews, adopted these firearms due to their compactness and lighter weight compared to the Thompson. Chambered in .45 ACP and utilizing a delayed blowback action, the M55 featured a pistol grip and wire folding stock. Despite developing a negative reputation in the Pacific theater due to parts interchangeability issues, fouling susceptibility, and complex disassembly, the Reising was also popular in post-war civilian law enforcement use and remains an affordable military machine gun option today.
