Reising Submachine Gun: Good Initiative, Bad Design
This video analyzes the Reising submachine gun, a WWII-era firearm that showed initial promise but faltered in combat due to poor quality control, awkward ergonomics, and low magazine capacity, leading to its rejection by Marines. Despite its battlefield failures, the Reising found a niche in US and international law enforcement due to its affordability and reliability in cleaner, urban environments. The review details its three variants: the M50, M55 (for paratroopers), and the semi-automatic M60 (still NFA legal). The video also includes thanks to Proxibid and Ventura Munitions, and a call to support TFBTV on Patreon.
