Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.forgottenw...
Designed and manufactured by Fabbrica Nazionale d'Armi di Brescia (National Arms Factory of Brescia) in northern Italy, for use by the RSI and German military forces (as well as some partisan units). They were produced in 1943 and 1944, and only about 1,000 were made (all with serial numbers in the 5,000 range, for unknown reasons). They were quite expensive to produce, with milled receivers and a closed-bolt lever-delayed mechanism.
Interestingly, many of the surviving examples came out of Algeria, where a batch of the guns was smuggled in for use by independence forces. Their markings were milled off, and replaced by fake marks in an attempt to hide their origins - "Maschine Pistole P.M. 43" (an interesting combination of German and French elements). This example went back to France later, where it was unfortunately deactivated by the St Etienne proof house.
Many thanks to the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels for access to this very rare piece! Check them out here:

During the 50s and specialy the 60s Italian gun dealers and smugglers were notorious and quite famous in providing guns and munitions all over Africa. They had the conections and easy access to the continent surplus and captured ww2 weapons were the trade of the day so its not rare the deface and "germanization" of the markings so french dont suspect or easy trace the italian origin of the guns.

Considering that it's an expensive submachine gun firing from a closed bolt, it actually sounds like one of the first of the 'third generation' of submachine guns, which are really pistol caliber select fire carbines like the MP5 and Scorpion Evo 3 moreso the cheaply produced pistol caliber machine guns like the Sten and Uzi. Always had a thing for weapons like that.

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine The way I remember Ian's video was 1st gen being mostly typified by being well made, fairly to really expensive, somewhat fancy, possibly also complex submachine guns, as were most of the examples you give. 2nd generation was indeed the "we need to simplify and cheapify these asap". And 3rd gen in Ian's words IIRC was typified by starting to implement common control layouts with the rifles of the period, like MP5 and G3 pair. I might need to watch the video again, but under these premises the Scorpion Evo 3 definitely is a 3rd gen SMG (it handles very much like a cold war or later rifle), and I don't really see a reason why the FNAB 43 couldn't be considered a late example Gen 1. It's far too complex and fancy for a gen 2, and too much of its own thing for a gen 3.

It's worth pointing out Italy was constantly in a state of material shortage. A good sum of Italy's small arms and even aircraft were considered on par or even some of the best concepts barring exceptions (Looking at you Breda 30), the problem was getting the materials to actually MAKE the weapons.

@me.ne.frego. Год назад
It's not about priorities. Italians lacked big factories with gigantic presses and those type of things you need to manufacture hundreds of cheap stamped guns per day. Same reason why italian tanks keeped bolted and riveted hulls and turrets, they lacked the technology to make cast and welded armor.
@DiggingForFacts

@@me.ne.frego. This is probably where the FNAB-43 comes from. If the prototypes were made in 1942, it simply may have been a case of "Wouldn't have made the cut if not for the fact that the RSI needed anything it could get its hands on and this was all they could produce within reason at Brescia".
@neutronalchemist3241
@neutronalchemist3241 Год назад
It works like that. In 1942 FNAB contacted the Army, shown the prototype and stated "we can make X samples of this gun per year at this price". The Army tested the gun, the price was acceptable, SMGs were needed, so "OK, start production". Since the price was right, the Army didn't care what the manufacturing technique was.
@sirpurrsalot6588
@sirpurrsalot6588 Год назад
If its supposed to be a fake German marking its quite bad since it would read Maschinen Pistole instead of Machine. If it would be a captured and remarked gun by the Wehrmacht it would have had a suffix (i) after the type designation for Italian. Most likely it would read MP M43 (i). So who ever try to fake the markings did a poor job.
@zhongxina5956
@zhongxina5956 Год назад
i think the Italian gun dealers that sold these were more just worried about making the place of origin harder to identify rather then actually trying to frame it as being from a specific country, in fact the guns being ambiguois in origin would have the benefit of people investigating it having to check alot of countries rather then just the one they framed it as.

A significant fraction of the submachine guns that you've presented have straight magazines that are canted with their base forward of the mouth when inserted in the weapon. I have seen that some weapons firing rimmed ammunition have curved magazines to account for the rear of the ammunition being larger than the front, and some weapons firing rimless ammunition having curved magazines to allow for a larger magazine without extending too far below the weapon, and some pistols firing rimmed ammunition have mechanisms in the magazine to rotate the traveler as rounds are expended so that the feed pressure is aligned correctly, but is there a reason for a forward-canted straight magazine other than to get rimmed ammunition to line up properly for the action to feed into the chamber?

They can't even fake properly! It's Maschinen-Pistole (so yeah an "N" is missing!) :D (Note: Actual, evil German here, so yeah I know what I am talking about :D ) Still, nice gun, thanks for showing it to us, Ian :)

Yes, the stock isnt great and it would be very expensive and that would be a big disadvantage in those days but, what a beautiful design. Itmust ve a pleasure to shoot

The fact that such a firearm could be machined at the time this was new without using the modern processes we have today never ceases to amaze me.

The difference between then an now, the number of machines used to create a part. Manual machines are set up to only do one or two cuts. Then the part gets moved to a different machine. With a CNC machine, it would be what ever needs to be done with that size cutter and without moving the part.

5:25 they did the same thing to my M16 in basic at Ft Leonard Wood. Milled out "auto" on an A1 lower and "BURST" was stamped in.

Brescia is the peak of gunsmithing in Italia. And the reason why it is are rooted in her soil. Seriously, you can really make a series of video about Brescia weaponry that start from... I guess bronze age? Yep.

I love when they make smg’s with a 20 round box mag , let’s make a gun that shoots really fast but only for two seconds lol

This one doesn't shoot really fast though. It has a deliberately low cyclical rate of fire

Did you even watch the video? Ian states that it can take Beretta 38 magazines. That means 40 rounders.
