The first submachine guns appeared during the First World War, for those years it was a real breakthrough. By that time, all participants in the war had already appreciated the importance of machine-gun fire and the machine guns themselves, which clearly proved their effectiveness on the battlefields.

The emergence of an individual rifle weapons, which could fire automatic pistol cartridges, was the next stage of development. Now any fighter got his hands on an automatic weapon, while maintaining high mobility and the ability to maneuver with fire. Considering that most of the machine guns of those years were easel or carriage guns and could weigh up to 60 kg, this was an obvious progress.



During the Second World War, submachine guns were already massively distributed in the armies of the belligerent countries, it was a real benefit of such weapons. After the war, the interest of the armies of the world shifted towards machine guns (assault rifles), which became the main individual weapon of the soldier. But the submachine guns did not disappear anywhere. This weapon is widely used today by special forces around the world, especially by police special forces.

Belgian submachine gun FN P90


The FN P90 submachine gun stands out for its futuristic design. This Belgian model of automatic weapons is familiar to many, even to those citizens who are not particularly fond of small arms. It's all about a very memorable appearance. The Belgian company FN Herstal has released a model that is difficult to confuse with other samples on the market, while providing the weapon with an excellent set of characteristics.

The designers from Belgium invested in the design and paid off. The bullpup model is in demand all over the world and is in service with dozens of countries. Turning to the bullpup scheme allowed the developers to reduce the overall dimensions of the weapon, without sacrificing the barrel and firing characteristics. With a total FN P90 length of 505 mm, the barrel length is 264 mm. This is a very decent indicator.

The main cartridge in the FN P90 is 5,7x28 mm ammunition. Belgian samples are made specifically for this cartridge. The weapon, in addition to its compact size, is also distinguished by its low weight. Without cartridges, the model weighs approximately 2,6 kg. The FN P90 submachine gun has an effective range of 200 meters. Rate of fire from 850 to 1100 rounds per minute, depending on the model.

A distinctive feature of the Belgian submachine gun is an unusual magazine, designed for 50 rounds. The store is unique; a US patent was filed for it in March 1990. The box magazine is located on top of the receiver of the weapon, while the cartridges in it are located horizontally, perpendicular to the barrel of the submachine gun. They are rotated 90 degrees before being fed into the chamber. The magazine is made of transparent plastic, which allows the shooter to always see how many cartridges remain at his disposal.

Uzi submachine guns


Talking about submachine guns, it would be difficult to ignore the Israeli model "Uzi". This is a truly iconic and well-recognized example of small arms, which has become the hero of numerous films, leaving a large mark on popular culture. There is nothing strange in this, considering that various modifications of the Uzi were in service with the armies, police special forces and security forces in more than 95 countries of the world.

The submachine gun, created by the designer Uziel Gal, was named after him and has been mass-produced since the second half of the 1950s. In Israel, weapons are produced by the large arms concern Israel Military Industries. This is one of the few examples of Israeli weapons that have been widely distributed throughout the world, having taken part in many wars and conflicts of the second half of the XNUMXth century. In the XNUMXst century, weapons are still relevant.

The submachine gun turned out to be compact. Modern Mini-UZI and Micro-Uzi models are truly miniature. So, the Mini-UZI model has a total length of 360 mm with a folded stock, and the Micro-Uzi does 250 mm, according to this indicator, the submachine gun is as close as possible to automatic pistols. Simultaneously with the total length, the trunk also decreased. For the Micro-Uzi model, the barrel length is only 134 mm. The weights of the models are also appropriate: 2,75 kg and 1,95 kg, respectively.

Of course, Israeli submachine guns cannot boast of good accuracy or effective range. But in confined spaces, dense buildings or at short distances, they are very effective, for which they are often used by police units around the world. The cartridge used is the timeless classic 9x19 mm Parabellum.

Experts call another important advantage of the Uzi submachine guns the method of reloading the weapon when “the hand finds the hand”. The UZI handle also serves as a neck for box magazines, it is very convenient to use, especially in the dark. At the same time, a wide variety of magazines for 20, 32, 40, 50 or 62 rounds are available to the shooters.

Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun


In the ranking there will be a place at once for two representatives of the German company Heckler & Koch. Designers from the small town of Oberndorf am Neckar have created two small arms, which are widely distributed around the world. So, created in the early 1960s, the MP5 submachine gun chambered for 9 × 19 mm Parabellum was in service with more than 50 states and was widely used by NATO countries. This model was used even by American special forces from the Navy SEALs.

The weapon turned out to be reliable and durable in German. MP5 does not lose its relevance, many police and military special forces are still armed with this particular submachine gun. At the same time, externally, the weapon is an adaptation of the G3 assault rifle, which has decreased in size and received a pistol cartridge. The overall shape and configuration of the G3 and MP5 are as close as possible, right down to the adjustable sights.

The MP5A4 submachine gun model with a plastic stock and the ability to fire "with a cut-off" of three rounds has a total length of 680 mm, the barrel length is 225 mm. Weight of the submachine gun without cartridges 2,66 kg. Mass models with a folding stock have a maximum length of 550 mm.

The effective range of the MP5 submachine guns is 200 meters. The models are equipped mainly with two magazines: for 30 and 40 rounds. Experts highlight the good muzzle energy of submachine guns and their low recoil in comparison with small arms with a blowback. Due to firing from a closed bolt on the MP5, high precision of single fire is realized.

Heckler & Koch MP7 submachine gun


The second very popular and successful model of the German arms company was the MP7 submachine gun. A small compact submachine gun, created in the early 2000s, can in some way be called the answer to the Israeli Uzis, only more advanced and designed at the most modern level.

The model is currently actively conquering the market. Moreover, the operators are located not only in Europe. Thus, the MP7 submachine guns are in service with the special forces of South Korea and Japan. It is also curious that this particular model is in service with the Vatican Swiss Guard.

Despite its small size, the MP7 submachine gun surpasses many competitors of the same dimensions in accuracy of fire. The length of the submachine gun with the stock folded is 415 mm, with the stock folded out - 638 mm. Barrel length - 180 mm without a flame arrester. The weight of the weapon is also very small - only 1,8 kg without a magazine with cartridges. For shooters, two main types of magazines are available: for 20 and 40 rounds, differing in weight (0,1 kg and 0,2 kg, respectively).

A distinctive feature of the model is the cartridge 4,6x30 mm. Automatic weapons were specially developed for this new ammunition. Experts say that the advantages of this cartridge are low recoil when firing, good flatness of the trajectory, and high firing accuracy. At the same time, the stopping effect of such an ammunition is predictably small.

Like the Uzi, the German submachine gun is designed so that the magazine is inserted into the pistol grip. A folding telescopic buttstock and an additional front folding handle ensure ease of use of the weapon.

Vityaz submachine gun


The rating is closed by the domestic Vityaz submachine gun. Small arms from Izhevsk are constantly being improved and presented in different versions. The model got its name from the name of the special forces "Vityaz", for which the submachine gun was created. Currently, this weapon, designed at Izhmash in the early 2000s, is in service with the Russian Guard, the police, the FSB, the Federal Penitentiary Service and other Russian power structures.

Like the MP5, the Russian submachine gun was inspired by its older siblings. So, "Vityaz" in Spanish. 10 was based on a shortened version of the AKS-74U Kalashnikov assault rifle. And here is the Vityaz model in Spanish. 20, also known as Vityaz-SN (PP 19-01), was based on the more advanced AK-105 assault rifle. It is reported that the models are unified by at least 70 percent.

The weight of the Vityaz-SN model is 2,9 kg without cartridges. The length of the weapon with the stock folded is 475 mm, with the stock folded out - 698 mm. Barrel length - 237 mm. As ammunition in the Russian submachine gun, the 9x19 mm Parabellum cartridge, which is widespread throughout the world, is used. The principle of firing from a closed bolt, implemented in the PP 19-01 submachine gun, ensures a high accuracy of hits.

Possessing a standard sighting range of 200 meters for such weapons, the Russian submachine gun has a trigger mechanism that allows automatic and single fire. "Vityaz" is equipped with box magazines for 30 rounds. The technical rate of fire of the model is up to 800 rounds per minute.

    I didn't have to shoot, but I held an ultrasound in my hands. A heavy fool, the ejection window of the casings is hefty, a hunting cartridge of 12 calories will enter, while firing from an open bolt.

              And as for the Czech, whoever needed it, they knew.

                      Of course, it was easier to get an Uzi for personal use, but I suppose the mercenary squads were supplied centrally by the hiring party, and the employers could buy anything, as long as the quality was consistent with the price and there was enough money.

      about weight, yes it is heavy (although the P90 weighs 2.7) but this weight is gained due to the weighted bolt. the energy / energy of the gate almost completely compensates for the recoil. there is no need to explain the benefits of near-zero return.

      on the subject of camera pollution, the same yes, but this weapon, in principle, is not for infantry in the field (although at the beginning it was used that way), it was used for close combat in buildings and there it proved itself.

      If you are at war, then the "Bizon" under the auger magazine of increased capacity. If you walk, then "Cypress". If you go and fight, then "Heather".
      Alas, having played a "revolution" in the design of domestic PP, we returned to the concept of PPP in the form of the Knight.
      Having our good cartridges for the PP 9x21 (for Gyurzu) and 9x39 (for Shaft), the latter is silent, we grabbed the centenary 9x19. For the army of today it is not powerful enough, for the police it is redundant. But the trend, or more banal, is the loss of the Kalashnikov concern to develop firearms. In fact, we "use" the old indestructible AK scheme, and then in terms of body kit, competing against this background with Israel, China and Bulgaria.
      I will not continue further!

                        You know, out of harm, I wanted to invite Albert to listen to the chorus of captured Jews from Verdi's opera "Kabucco", but she listened to it herself. This is amazing! The composer seemed to have guessed right. Hints as if either on the tango of the 40s, or on the foxtrot, and the remarks "Arc de Triomphe" ascended before our eyes. Or maybe the organizers tried so hard. The thing is powerful, but I do not recommend it to you ...

          You only need special protection at the entrance and during "police" operations, when they shoot alone, so as not to remove the "uninvolved". It is this kind of work that provides for accurate shooting with single ones, the shield on the helmet prevents tear gas / objects from entering the face, etc., the armor guarantees you a fracture and bruise instead of mechanical damage to internal organs.
          Work is a safe "opening of corners", the more barrels, the more efficient.

    The main cartridge in the FN P90 is 5,7x28 mm ammunition. Belgian samples are made specifically for this cartridge. The weapon, in addition to its compact size, is different and light weight. Without cartridges, the model weighs approximately 2,6 kg.

    Just a kilogram lighter than the AK-74.

    "Uzi" was created as a Jewish analogue of the PPSh or "Wall" with a wooden butt - a submachine gun for infantry. He had a wooden stock and a weight equal to the weight of the PPSh. No one planned to wear it under the armpit or in the belt. And then, as the concept of infantry weapons changed, they began to "cut" and "shave off" it, turning it into a weapon for special forces and bandits. But they never got rid of its inherent weight. And all these "Mini" and "Micro" are not the famous "Uzi". This is something made not even on its basis, but under the same label.

      weight is what you do not like? weight should be proportional to stability when shooting and inversely proportional to recoil.

    The best special forces submachine guns

    A good weapon, but the barmaley also began to wear body armor. It can reduce the caliber to 7,62 to increase the speed of the bullet, and make the bolt semi-free (kinematic-inertial) for ease of use. Reducing the proportion of the recoil force attributable to the shutter, by decomposing it into two forces. One of which directly acts on the barrel or receiver, and the other on the free breechblock. This can be done using a lever (beam) or wedge-rotor mechanism. You can read A.A. Blagonravov. "Foundations for the design of automatic weapons", M, Voenizdat, 1940,

    Now the PP as an army weapon is practically supplanted by shortened machine guns / assault rifles. With the proliferation of SIBZ, which are now available even for barmaley, the penetration of conventional pistol cartridges has become absolutely insufficient, since it is the protection against NATO 9x19 with an all-metal shell that is now the minimum for the durability of body armor. PDW-shny 5,7x28 and 4,6x30 are also capable of something, as well as our 9x19 7H21 and 7H31, and that's all. Moreover, in the West with 9x19 there is also the problem of standardization in terms of the limiting parameters of the impulse, and most importantly the pressure, which complicates the development of an effective armor-piercing cartridge in this caliber. What was adopted as a NATO standard in the 50s is now a problem, and weapons for it, for example, are unsuitable for domestic high-impulse cartridges. How many people have killed the same magnificent Glocks, charging them with 7N21, or even 7N31.
    In addition, the development of pistol-caliber armor-piercing cartridges is not weakly hindered by US legislation (the main consumer of pistol cartridges), where expansive and explosive bullets are more legal than armor-piercing bullets on the civilian market.
    In general, the PP is now almost a purely police weapon, winning due to the lower propensity of the bullet to ricochet and compactness.

    FN P90 - a rare grave, "in dozens of countries" it most likely lies in gun parks - the weak point is the same plastic garbage that unfolds the cartridge before feeding it into the chamber, even with a single fire, the cartridges get stuck in it
    Ultrasound - simplicity and reliability, a kind of product of a rural blacksmith, but at the same time an absolutely trouble-free machine, designed primarily for mechanical drivers, as a regular barrel, well, for urban operations, with such a mass you can shoot "from the belly and with a fan" - not miss.
    MP5 is technical perfection, but when disassembled it is a bunch of small parts that are easy to lose, well, that’s how it is intended for Special Forces, and the Western specialist will not clean the barrel immediately after use on the stump, it will reach the PPD.
    MP7 - I won’t say anything, according to open data, look for it in Germany and look for it - and it’s not a fact that you will find it, it’s definitely not in the Bundeswehr (the cartridge was rejected by NATO bosses), most likely in the BND and maybe even in SGS-9, but these guys do not share their impressions in principle wink
    The Vityaz (in any version) is the native "Ksenia", familiar to the last pin (which is a plus), and even with reduced recoil due to the 9X19 cartridge used (which is also a plus), in general, for our person, the choice is obvious smile

    The automation scheme itself with a 90 ° rotation of the cartridge raises doubts about reliability. And the ergonomics are "peculiar".
    Has anyone held this device in their hands. How will it "function" in the rain or if it is dropped into the mud.

      Dismantled, studied, but did not shoot. The trigger, by the way, is one to one with the AUG-77, in my opinion, it is even unified in terms of basic details. In his hands with dummies of cartridges, he seemed to work - he served, reflected. But some sense of distrust did not go away.

    PP as a military weapon is not relevant. It is used mainly or as a police one, and then a large-caliber pistol cartridge with a high stopping effect of a bullet not prone to ricochets is desirable, or as an emergency one as part of an aviation NAZ, for arming military personnel of non-combat specialties and as a self-defense weapon for command personnel and specialists (tankers, grenade launchers etc.). And in this case, penetrating small-caliber cartridges with good ballistics are relevant. It is precisely such weapons that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation sorely lack. At least, I think so. In shooting, the most convenient and comfortable in my memory were PPSh, PPS and MP-38. At the MPi-69, at the moment the shutter was released from the rear sear, the pickup was great, stronger than that of the above samples. "Chestnut" is too miniature and therefore not very convenient. "Cypress" well, "Scorpio" under 9x18 is right a Mercedes in comparison with it. Thanks to the author of the article for pleasant memories.
