The MAS-38 is a French submachine gun designed in the 1930s and used by French and German forces during the Second World War.
HISTORY
The MAS-38 Submachine Gun, developed from the experimental MAS-35 (derived from STA 1922 and MAS 1924), replaced various German and Swiss submachine guns used by France. Manufactured by the Saint-Étienne Weapons Factory (MAS), it began mass production in 1939 after initial resistance from the French Ministry of War. The German army seized the MAS plant in 1940 and continued production for their own use, designating it the 7.65 mm MP722(f).
Production ceased in 1949, with 1,958 units made before the German occupation. The French police used it post-WWII until the 1950s when it was replaced by the MAT-49.
The MAS-38 featured a distinctive design where the receiver and butt diverged from the barrel axis, allowing for a compact build and lighter bolt. Its bolt was obliquely cut for proper closure, and it had a unique safety catch. It was known for its high quality, being machined from solid steel with few stamped parts, and had a concealed dual-range sight system. Despite its odd appearance and underpowered cartridge, it was accurate and durable.
