Vigneron M2: Belgium's Little-Known Post-War SMG
This video delves into the Vigneron M2, Belgium's post-World War II submachine gun designed by Colonel Georges Vigneron. Adopted in 1954 by the Belgian military, it served as a replacement for the Sten gun. The M2 is a simple, blowback-operated SMG noted for its affordability and effectiveness. Key features include a 3-position safety/selector switch and a grip safety. While the M2 was a minor update to the M1, primarily concerning the sights, over 100,000 were produced and remained in service until the 1990s. The video highlights its reliability and positive reception despite its economical design.
