Elbonian M52/57/61 Paratrooper Carbine
This video analyzes the Elbonian M52/57/61 Paratrooper Carbine, a fascinating and mysterious firearm. The presenter discusses its origins, noting it was likely based on surplus Czech vz.52 rifles modified to accept AK magazines and drums, and chambered in 7.62x39mm. The rifle also features a distinctive ventilated barrel shroud. The video explores the lack of definitive military documentation and suggests these were likely custom projects in the US due to the scarcity of original vz.52 ammunition. The presenter highlights the absence of import marks as a clue to its non-standard modification.
