Easy to handle like a pistol, you can do a somersault while mowing down baddies. Perfect for corny action movies.

Date: January 8th, 2023 8:37 PM Author: poppy heady national The likely answer: before the mid-1980s, you could buy semi-auto open bolt pistols like the Uzi and Mac 10. They are cheap, but more importantly, VERY easy to convert to automatic. In fact, it's hard to convert an open bolt to semi, and the importers didn't try hard.
So my guess is that it was an inexpensive source for full-auto SMGs. They shoot like shit and closed bolt is way better. |

It's why it took so long for MP5s to become as prevalent as they are today. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5267320&forum_id=2Reputation#45761293) |

FMJ 9mm sucks btw and you have to use FMJ if you’re military. Basically every SMG is obsolete atm. Even if you really prioritize easy handling, bullpups exist too. Hegemon come at me.
