Moshe Dajan je u svojim meomoarima opisivao da je u kibucima postojala proizvodnja oruzja jos 30tih godina, a da je posle povlacenja britanaca ta domaca radinost prerasla u ozbiljnu proizvodnju koja je spasila Izrael 48me.

The FG-42, a complex select-fire battle rifle capable of semi and fully automatic fire, was developed for the Luftwaffe’s Fallschirmjäger. It fed from a side mounted 20-round box magazine and fired from an open bolt on full automatic and a closed bolt for semi-automatic fire. This aided cooling in the former and accuracy in the latter.
The late war FG-42 seen in the photograph above differed in a number of respects to the earlier models. Principally, the FG-42/II was designed to be a more robust and easier to manufacture weapon. It had a heavier bolt which reduced its cyclic rate of fire down to approximately 750 rpm. It also had a bulkier laminated wooden stock and a more conventional pistol grip, these alterations increased the rifle’s weight to 4.95kg (almost 11lbs).
The changes were made as Germany’s paratroops were increasingly used as elite ground troops, as the need for offensive operations such as airborne assaults diminished, as the tide of war turned and the German Army was placed on the defensive. The dead paratroop in the photograph appears to be an SS-Untersturmführer, probably from the SS-Fallschirmjägerbataillon 500.
The Soviet soldier walking towards the photographer has a PPSh-41 hung around his neck. The Soviet Union produced approximately 6 million PPSh-41s between 1941 and 1946. This huge number was achieved because of the weapon’s simple design and ease of manufacture - at peak production 3,000 a day were being produced.
The PPSh fired the 7.62x25mm Soviet pistol round and fed from either a 35-round box magazine or a 71-round drum magazine, neither of which can be seen in the photograph. Unloaded it weighed 3.6kg (8lb) and had a rate of fire of around 900 rpm. Designed to replace the PPD, the PPSh was later supplemented by the even simpler PPS-43.
The PPSh-41 was instrumental to the Russian war effort. It was well liked for its impressive rate of fire, large magazine capacity and reliability - proving ideal for the many urban engagements fought on the Eastern Front.
Naravoučenije da je kvalitet izgubio od kvantiteta alimože neko to i drugačije da tumači od volje mu..
In the mid 1950s SFR Yugoslavia sought to replace the M49, its indigenously produced copy of the PPSh-41, with a new submachine gun.
The M56 borrowed heavily in terms of ergonomics from the MP40, however, the mechanical similarities are minimal. The M56 does not use the MP40′s telescoping recoil spring. The bolt and receiver were instead copied from the Beretta Modelo 38/44. As such the M56 was a simple blowback weapon, it continued to use the earlier M49′s 7.62x25mm chambering. The M56′s curved box magazine is proprietary and not interchangeable with the M49/PPSh’s 35-round magazine , though similar to the PPS’s magazine.
Manufactured by Zastava, the M56 had a long tubular receiver and a plastic moulded lower receiver and pistol grip. After issues with the plastic lower (zabranjeno)ing in cold weather a wooden insert inside the lower was added. The M56 copied the MP40′s folding stock and as a result the weapon is quite long, measuring 60cm (23in) with the stock extended.
The weapon’s controls were simple with a right side cocking handle, simple magazine catch and a cocking handle safety, which when turned 90 degrees clockwise, locks the bolt in place. The M56 also had a push button fire selector for semi and fully automatic fire.
The M56 has a hooded front sight and a 100m & 200m rear leaf sight, the weapon could also be fitted with a bayonet. Zastava began manufacturing a version chambered in 9x19mm, the M65, in 1965. The M56 was issued to the Yugoslav People’s Army and border guards, initially issued at the squad level during the 1950s. The M56 was simple, accurate and reportedly well liked weapon. It was largely replaced by the Zastava M70 AK derivatives and the M84, a licensed copy of the Czechoslovakian Vz.61 Skorpion for vehicle crews.

A kao zaprška tu je i jedan M3 slikan na Okinavi dok je u toku bilo trkeljisanje upravo prebeglog prvog MIGa15 tokom Korejskih dešavanja 1953.g.
