	The MAS-38 is a French submachine gun ~~designed~~ in the 1930s and ~~used by French~~ and ~~German forces during~~ the ~~Second World War~~.		The MAS-38 is a French submachine gun chambered for the 7.65×20mm Longue cartridge, developed in the late 1930s and manufactured at the Manufacture d’armes de Saint-Étienne (MAS). It is a simple blowback, open-bolt weapon that fires full-auto only. The MAS-38 is best known for its unusual receiver geometry and angled bolt travel, which helped keep the weapon compact while using a lighter bolt.
	=HISTORY=		==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).		The MAS-38 grew out of French interwar submachine-gun development and entered production on the eve of World War II, with limited numbers available before the 1940 campaign. After the occupation of France, production continued under German control for issue to German and Vichy forces, where it was designated the Maschinenpistole 722(f). Its high-quality, largely machined construction made it durable, but it was also relatively expensive and paired with a low-powered cartridge compared with many wartime SMGs.

	~~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]].		After World War II, the MAS-38 remained in service with French forces and police and saw use in postwar conflicts, including French Indochina, before being superseded by newer designs such as the [[MAT-49]]. In Southeast Asia, weapons of this type were also present among the diverse mix of arms circulating during the period, reflecting both continuing French use and the broader capture and redistribution of small arms in the region.
