Also, some original models had a grip safety.Īccording to R. There was an improved version of the Uru in the late 80s to 90s, that added some minor changes like forward wood grip and regular wound sear spring instead of that steel strip,and some other, but it was never made anywhere in numbers like the original. congratulations to Ian for a really good explanation of the whole system !
The only nuisance with that revolutionary simple one piece trigger-sear-disconnector is that you always have a finger slap on semi, since bolt hits that back sear catch before it springs up again due to your finger pressure on trigger.ītw. In Brasil they speak portuguese, so Matthew explained it very right. It was used by officers and so on.Īfter the 1974 Revolution, MP5s were adopted, and the so-called “Lusa” using the same trigger-mechanism as the G3 rifles was tested, although I do not think it was adopted. The Uzi 9mm was officially adopted, also as the m/961 I believe. The Belgian Vigneron as the 9mm m/961 from nearby Belgian Congo/ Congo was used in the colonial wars in Angola and probably Moçambique too… Not sure about Guinea-Bissau. M3 and the German MP40 “Schmeisser” (I know, really the “Vollmer!”).Ī few Madsen m/50s, known as m/955s in he “Ultramar” colonies. The FBP/ Fábrica Braço de Prata 9mm m/948 that combined elements of the U.S. Portugal’s very first SMG was a 7.63mm caliber Steyr Solothurn. Italy, pistola mitragliatrice, unless I’m mistaken. The Brits had “Tomm gun” and officially machine carbine before going eith the U.S.
STEN MK II BUTTSTOCK SERIES
Spain, and I do believe Argentina preferred sub-fusil, but then again the “PAM” series in the latter show “pistola-ametralladora” like German “maschinenpistole.”įrance has miraillette or pistolet mitrailleur. worlds, I do believe Portugal used to use pistola-metralhadora. Marines had some against Augusto Sandino’s “banditti” in the late 1920s, and I think some were used in the Chaco War in the 1930s by Bolivian and Paraguayan armed forces.Īs for names of SMGs in the Lusophone vs. I think that just might be the earliest use of SMGs any place in Latin America, although the U.S. I was surprised when I was in north eastern Brazil that Erma-type SMGs and Steyr Solothurns were already in use by the early 1930s during the suppression of the cangaçeiros like Lampião and so on.
