This video from Forgotten Weapons provides an in-depth look at the Yugoslav M48 Mauser rifle. The M48 was Yugoslavia's standardized post-WWII service rifle, designed to replace older Mauser variants. The presenter highlights its finely crafted all-milled construction and notes that approximately 238,000 were produced between 1950 and 1952. Subsequent models, the M48A and M48B, incorporated stamped parts to reduce manufacturing costs. The video likely explores the rifle's historical context, design features, and potential variations.
This video review focuses on the Yugoslav M84 PKM machine gun, with the host arguing it's the best universal machine gun. The review highlights its balance of capabilities and cost, drawing parallels to the MG42. Key features praised include its controllability, manageable weight, integrated iron sights (with optical sight compatibility), robust belt system, ease of maintenance, durability, and effective sealing against dirt. The video also touches on the visual impression of the gun's moving parts in high-speed footage and thanks Marstar for access. The host's personal preference for the PKM as a sole machine gun choice is a central theme.
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.
