This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the San Cristobal Model 2 carbine, a lever-delayed blowback firearm produced in the Dominican Republic in the late 1940s. Designed by Pál Király and chambered in .30 Carbine (7.62x33mm), tens of thousands were manufactured and saw popularity in Central and South America. The carbine is distinguished by its magazine mounted at an angle and most models featured select-fire capabilities with a two-trigger system. The video highlights the rarity of these firearms today, thanking the Royal Armouries for access to this specimen.
This video provides an in-depth look at the Hungarian 43M submachine gun, developed by Pal Kiraly. It highlights the gun's lineage from earlier MKMO and MKPS designs and its powerful 9x25mm Mauser Export cartridge, noted as the most potent SMG round of its time. The description details the development timeline of the 39M and 43M variants, production numbers, and the impact of WWII on their manufacturing. Key features discussed include the lever-delayed blowback action, the folding stock, and the innovative folding 40-round magazine for enhanced compactness. The video also mentions the collaboration with the Institute of Military Technology.
