A submachine gun is a light automatic rifle that is mainly used to attack and return fire, so it is called an "assault rifle", sometimes called a "portable machine gun" or "light light machine gun", but some people also call it a "light machine gun".
The designers of submachine guns all had one common feature: low weight, fully automatic fire. It is a small-scale pistol and rifle, it is small, powerful, easy to carry and easy to use, especially suitable for jungles, trenches, street battles.
The history of submachine guns is much shorter than pistols and rifles, and in World War II, there were submachine guns.
This submachine gun was also an accident, it was originally used as a new type of submachine gun, but at that time, there were no medium bullets, only pistol bullets.
Wheeler. The first submachine guns made by Palosha in 1915 used a double-barreled double-barreled double-gun with a double-butt, in fact, this gun was more like a light weapon.
In 1918, the German Schmeiser invented the MP18 submachine gun, which was the first submachine gun that could be used alone.
The MP18 was equipped with the German "Storm Commandos" and was used to carry out infiltration attacks close to enemy trenches. The German special forces gave the MP18 the nickname "Kugelspritz", which means "bullet launcher".
After the First World War, Germany used a large number of assault rifles in some large-scale wars, and posed a great threat to the Allies.
However, when the US ** team had not yet fully brought into play its strategic superiority, the First World War came to an end.
Therefore, during the First World War, submachine guns could not have a full effect on the infantry of that time.
Ville Palosha 1915 submachine gun: Italian light ** designer Eber. Bettel. The Leviri, produced by the Fiat company, was often used as a light machine gun, hence the name "Fiat" or "Loverry".
mp18: A submachine gun invented by German gunsmith Schmeiser during World War I, it can fire 9mm Balabellum rounds and can also be loaded with 763 mm Mauser shells.
The 40s of the 20th century was the period of the fastest development of submachine guns. It has more and more models, better and better performance, and more and more types of equipment, which has made great contributions to the victory of World War II.
Germany's MP40, America's M3, and the Soviet Union's PPSH-41 are the most representative**.
Even the British side, before the war, regarded assault rifles as "bandit weapons" and would never make them, but at the beginning of the war, they mass-produced and equipped with the Stern assault rifle known as "water hose".
The main combat equipment of the Soviet military, the PPSH-41 series, was much more abundant than ordinary rifles, and there was even such a special firearm as PPSH-41.
Submachine guns of this period were mainly used in guerrilla and special operations to reduce manufacturing costs and achieve mass production. As a result, the submachine guns produced were rudimentary, prone to breakdowns, and their shooting accuracy was inferior to that of earlier submachine guns.
Therefore, for most people, a submachine gun is a rudimentary firearm, and the shooting accuracy is also very low. This state of affairs lasted until the end of the 60s of the 20th century, when the German company HK developed the famous MP5 submachine gun.
The development of the MP5 assault rifle has greatly improved the technical level of the assault rifle, and the use of the HKG3 automatic assault rifle produced by HK company has not only improved its shooting accuracy, but also greatly improved the overall performance.
MP40: Germany produced more than a million submachine guns between 1940 and 1945 and was widely used during World War II.
PPSH-41: During World War II, the former Soviet Union created a submachine gun, known as "Bobosha" in China, and produced about 6 million units. Stern: The submachine guns that Britain mass-produced and equipped during World War II, producing 41 million units per year.
M3 submachine gun: General Motors of the United States produced an inexpensive submachine gun during World War II, about 6.8 million units were produced and supplied to the Allies.
MP5: The submachine gun produced by the German company HK in 1966 is the standard equipment of the world's leading teams, guards and police, and is very famous.
FFNP90: After the 90s of the 20th century, the Belgian FN company introduced a new type of individual protection**, using 5The 7 mm x 28 mm SS190 warhead, completely different from its previous counterpart, has a more destructive warhead and is more convenient to use, in a sense it can replace an assault rifle or assault rifle.
HKMP7: A private self-defense ** developed by the German HK company in the late 90s of the 20th century, the same as FFNP90, equipped with 46 mm special ammunition.
