This video delves into the experimental French submachine gun designs from the Chatellerault Arsenal, specifically the MAC48 and its lighter variant, the MAC48LS. These designs, developed in 1948 as part of a program that would eventually lead to the MAT-49, were influenced by the Sten and M3 Grease Gun. The MAC48 features a wooden stock and pistol grip, chambered in 9x19mm and utilizing MP40 magazines. The MAC48LS, a simplified and lighter version, incorporates a telescoping wire stock and a folding magazine well, drawing it closer to the final adopted design. The video thanks the French IRCGN for providing access to these unique firearms.
