MAT 49-54 Police Submachine Gun
This video provides an in-depth look at the MAT 49-54, a special variant of the French MAT 49 submachine gun adopted by the Paris Police. The description highlights key differences from the standard military model, including a fixed wooden stock, a longer barrel (365mm/14.4 inches), and a unique dual-trigger mechanism for semiautomatic and full-automatic fire with an anti-unintentional-use block. It also notes that the MAT 49-54 was produced from scratch by the Tulle arsenal, with only a few hundred units made, distinguishing it from rebuilt police MAS 38 SMGs. The creator thanks the French Ministry of the Interior for granting access to the example for the presentation.
