The military had come around to standardizing on the 9x19mm cartridge for its pistols and subguns, and the 7.65mm MAS-38 was not feasible to convert. All three state arsenals and the Hotchkiss company submitted designs, and the Tulle arsenal won out with a gun that borrows substantially from the American M3 &#8220;Grease Gun&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>About 700,000 MAT-49s were produced between 1949 and 1979, when it (along with the MAS 49\/56 rifle) was replaced by the FAMAS bullpup rifle. During that time it saw substantial combat in France&#8217;s colonial wars, notable Algeria and Indochina. Despite being a relatively heavy weapon, it came to be well liked by all who used it for its durability and reliability. <\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to the anonymous collector who let me take a look at this piece and bring you a video on it!<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy Forgotten Weapons, check out its sister channel, InRangeTV! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-29-at-09-42-21-MAT-49-Iconic-SMG-of-Algeria-and-Indochina-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-29-at-09-42-21-MAT-49-Iconic-SMG-of-Algeria-and-Indochina-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-67399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-29-at-09-42-21-MAT-49-Iconic-SMG-of-Algeria-and-Indochina-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-29-at-09-42-21-MAT-49-Iconic-SMG-of-Algeria-and-Indochina-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-29-at-09-42-21-MAT-49-Iconic-SMG-of-Algeria-and-Indochina-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-29-at-09-42-21-MAT-49-Iconic-SMG-of-Algeria-and-Indochina-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten Weapons Published 16 Jan 2018 http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\u200b Cool Forgotten Weapons merchandise! http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forg&#8230;\u200b The MAT-49 was developed by France after World War Two to satisfy the need for a more modern submachine gun to replace the MAS-38.
