This video explores the French MAS-38 submachine gun, France's first officially adopted SMG, rushed into service in 1940. Despite its late arrival for the defense of France, it saw significant production under German occupation and post-war, primarily serving in Indochina. The description details its simple blowback mechanism, unique angled barrel and receiver for improved sight picture, and a trigger-based safety. It's chambered in the 7.65 French Long cartridge, a less powerful round that contributes to comfortable handling. The video also highlights the weapon's historical context and its use of a less common caliber.
