HISTORY
In 1949, the French MAT factory began producing the MAT-49 9 mm submachine gun using machine stamping for economical mass production. This was urgently needed by the French Army, French Foreign Legion, and airborne and colonial forces for a compact weapon. Production continued at Tulle until the mid-1960s, then moved to the Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Étienne (MAS) until 1973. The MAT-49 was gradually phased out after the FAMAS 5.56 mm NATO assault rifle was adopted in 1979. The MAT-49 saw extensive combat during the First Indochina War, Algerian War, and the 1956 Suez Crisis, and was favored by airborne and mechanized troops for its simplicity, ruggedness, firepower, and compactness.
After French forces left Indochina, the People's Army of Vietnam and Viet Minh converted many captured MAT-49s to the Soviet 7.62 mm Tokarev pistol cartridge, then available in large quantities from the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. These converted versions could be distinguished by a longer barrel and a higher rate of fire at 900 rpm.
North Vietnam covertly provided MAT-49s to anti-French occupation groups during the Algerian War after the French left Indochina.
