MAC Model 1947 Prototype SMGs
This video delves into the MAC Model 1947 Prototype SMGs, a result of French military efforts to develop new small arms post-WWII. The focus is on a 9mm Parabellum requirement for lightweight, handy, and foldable submachine guns. The video showcases early designs from the Chatellerault (MAC) arsenal, highlighting a very light lever-delayed blowback system that unfortunately suffered from poor ergonomics. Many thanks are extended to the French IRCGN for granting access to these unique specimens for filming.
