This video features firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson discussing the Veselý SMG, a British World War II submachine gun that ultimately failed to enter mass production. Ferguson highlights its development as a wartime alternative to the Sten Gun, detailing why the Veselý 43 paratrooper variant was deemed too complex and expensive. Despite its shortcomings, the weapon's innovative 'double-stack' magazine system caught the attention of the War Office, delaying its eventual discontinuation by the Sterling SMG. The Royal Armouries shares insights into arms and armor.
