This video delves into the fascinating, yet ultimately unproduced, Czechoslovakian Samopal vz 38 submachine gun. Designed by František Myška, it was intended to replace rifle-caliber light machine guns in fortified positions, prioritizing a high volume of fire with the 9x17mm (.380) cartridge. The SMG featured an impressive 96-round drum magazine, influenced by the Finnish Suomi. Despite initial orders and adoption, German occupation prevented its production, leaving only 20 pre-production examples. The presenter highlights access granted by the VHU - the Czech Military History Institute - and encourages visits to the Army Museum Žižkov.
