This video explores the CETME Modelo A, a pivotal rifle in the lineage of Spanish firearms development. As the first series-production variant, it bridges the gap between the wartime StG45(M) and the iconic H&K G3. The Modelo A features a unique fire control system for both open-bolt full-auto and closed-bolt semi-automatic fire, a buttstock reminiscent of the Strumgewehr, and a folding bipod. The discussion also touches upon its chambering for the 7.62mm CETME cartridge and its distinct tangent leaf rear sight, differentiating it from later models. An interesting historical anecdote about its use by French marine commandos in Algeria is also mentioned.
