BayonneManufactured'Armes Debayonne) developed and launched the PA-15 in 1966PistolsHailed as the company's swan song. The company's history dates back to 1901, when Leonbarth was in the familyPistolsI work for a manufacturing company and suddenly realize that I can design and sell my ownPistols。This led him to found Bayonnemanufacturing plant, the company specializes in small for potential usersPistols, similar to Browning's design. 1906 year, with"mab"LogosPistolsbegan to appear on the market and soon developed two different models. In 1910, these threePistolsNamed A, B, and C, the company's products have since been named after the English alphabet. thesePistolsIt was very popular with users, but then two small things interrupted the company's development: in 1937, Leon Barthes died1939 yearWorld War II broke out.
After the end of World War II, Jean Barthes, the son of Leon Barthes, began to revive the family business and launched many products of different calibers and uses, from. 22lr to 9 19mm, from the racePistolsto the servicePistols, but sales are not ideal, and the company's main revenue still comes from older models A, B and C. In 1964, the company built a new plant and decided to start production for the militaryPistols。Bayonne, 1966The manufacturing company first introduced the P-8 (PA-8).Pistols, followed by the P-15 (PA-15).Pistols。PA stands for"Automatic pistols", the number indicates the magazine capacity. pa-15PistolsDesigned forMilitaryDesigned for purpose.
pa-15PistolsThe semi-free bolt automatic mode and the barrel rotation locking method are adopted, and the sleeve recoil speed is slowed down by the barrel rotation unlocking, so as to reduce the recoil impact and increaseShootingPrecision. The rear part of the barrel has two protruding convex tenons, the lower convex tenon is tightly connected with the grooves of the sleeve base, and the upper convex tenon is located in the grooves inside the sleeve. Shootingtime,BulletsTorsion along the rifling, a torsional moment is applied to the barrel, but under the action of recoil, the sleeve moves back, rotating the barrel in the opposite direction through the internal grooves. These two forces balance each other, ensuring the latching state of the chamber untilBulletsLeave the barrel. Then, the sleeve moves backwards, unlocks the chamber, and starts automaticShootingCirculate. Some firearms experts believe that this type of locking was first carried out in 1907 by the S**agePistolsThe barrel rotation locking method was invented by Albert Hamilton Searle in 1905.
In addition to the barrel rotation locking method, the PA-15 is a very traditional oneAutomatic pistols, with a single-action trigger, left hand fuse, andEmpty warehouse hang-upRelease rod, as well as a reentry spring under the barrel. ThePistolsIt is also equipped with a magazine safety device, even if it is present in the chamberBullets, which cannot be fired even after the magazine is removed. mabpa-15PistolsIt has been tested by the Saint-Etienne test center, but it has not been officially adopted by the French side. However, the MAC-70, which was discontinued at the end of the 50s of the last centuryPistolsAfter that, the French ** sideInformalA number of PA-15s were purchasedPistols, which was used to equip the French frogman troops, gendarmerie units, and marines. In addition to France, it has also been used by the Finnish Defence Forces and some armies and police in former French colonies such as Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Gabon, Central Africa, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti and ChadPistols。Users generally believe that the impact of thePistolsThe main reason for equipping is the interchangeability of parts for different models. Due to the barrel swing locking method, manual assembly is required during the manufacturing process, which makes repair work more difficult.
In 1982, due to financial problems, BayonneThe manufacturing company ceased operations. mabpa-15PistolsThe performance parameters are as follows: caliber 9 19mm, total length 203mm, barrel length 115mm, height 141mm, total weight 1296 grams, magazine capacity 15 rounds.
In modern warfare,PistolsBecome an important auxiliary to the soldiers。And BayonnePA-15 of the manufacturing companyPistolsAs a militaryPistols, through its unique barrel twistlock method and precisionShootingperformance, has been favored by the military and police agencies of many countries. Despite the fact that sales on the market did not meet expectations, the PA-15PistolsStill with itReliabilityand stability has been recognized by users.
In design, PA-15PistolsThe barrel rotation locking method is adopted, and the recoil speed is slowed down and increased by the rotation of the barrelShootingThe effect of precision. This design allows for a firmer locking between the barrel and the sleeve, which guarantees greater stabilityShooting。with othersPistolsCompared with the locking method, the barrel rotation locking method is more complex in design and requires higher manufacturing accuracy and assembly technology. However, it was this complex design that made the PA-15PistolsInShootingThere are significant advantages in terms of accuracy.
pa-15Pistolsof precisionShootingThe performance makes it inMilitaryand law enforcement. It is used as a standard for the law team and police agenciesPistols, and was also widely adopted in the military and police forces of some former French colonies. In addition, the Finnish Defense Forces also chose to use the PA-15PistolsAsMilitaryPart of the equipment.

However, despite the PA-15PistolsWith advantages in design and performance, it is not a very popular onePistols。After the cancellation of army procurement, BayonneThe manufacturing company faced financial difficulties and eventually ceased operations in 1982. Be that as it may, PA-15PistolsAs the company's swan song, it is still thereMilitaryand law enforcement.
