Type 48 submachine gun
Seeing the gun above, it is estimated that most readers will recognize it as the famous Soviet-made gun ppsh4 1 during World War II, that is, the Bobosha submachine gun, and some readers will think that it is a domestic imitation Soviet-made 50 submachine gun, but it is not completely right. The first Type 48 submachine gun produced by our army during the War of Liberation was the first standard weapon in the history of Chinese people's public security. The story of this gun begins with the liberation of Dalian by the Soviet Red Army.
1In August, 945, the Soviet Red Army liberated the whole Northeast. In that year 10, he assisted the Dalian Municipal Committee to set up the Dalian Public Security Bureau to take over all kinds of armed forces left over by the Japanese and Puppet, and maintained public order in Dalian, and provided some Soviet-made weapons to our public security forces, including the famous Bobosha submachine gun.
In the photo of our northeast police with the Soviet Red Army, they are armed with Soviet submachine guns, including PPSH4 1 PPS43. These powerful Soviet-made submachine guns have made great contributions to our people's public security in the battle to wipe out bandits' beards and suppress Japanese and puppet riots. In particular, the Bobosha submachine gun with 7 1 bullet is affectionately called the barrel gun by our army because of its powerful firepower and eye-catching bullets.
From 65438 to 0947, our party established a new company in Dalian, which was the first large-scale ordnance enterprise in our party's history, and its guns and ammunition strongly supported various war zones throughout the country. The protagonist of this paper, the 48-type turntable submachine gun, is produced by Jianxin Company.
Jianxin Company produced a total of 563 "rotating guns" based on Soviet Bobosha submachine guns during the period of 1948-1950, all of which were delivered to Dalian Public Security Bureau for use. This is not only the first submachine gun produced by our party and army, but also the first standard weapon in the history of Chinese people's public security equipment.
At the Dalian Public Security Commendation Conference, all our public security soldiers used revolvers.
Model 48 revolver submachine gun is the product of Jianxin's reverse imitation of ppsh4 1 submachine gun without drawings. Due to the limitation of materials and equipment, its shape is slightly different from the 50-type submachine gun produced by ppsh4 1 after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which can be seen from a closer look.
(1) First, the number of cooling holes on the barrel. The number of cooling holes on the barrel of the prototype ppsh4 1 is 5 on the left and 5 on the right, while the number of cooling holes on the 48-type revolver submachine gun is 4 on the left and 4 on the right.
(2) the shape of the barrel. The barrel of the prototype ppsh4 1 is square, and the front end is obviously chamfered, while the barrel of the 48-type revolver submachine gun is original.
(3) The difference between magazines, the drums of the existing Type 48 submachine gun have all been lost, and its detailed features can no longer be verified, only the magazine is left. The magazine of ppsh4 1 has stiffeners, while the 48-type revolver submachine gun simplifies the process to a smooth surface.
The barrel of two guns is the biggest difference.
summary
Type 48 wheel charger can be said to be the first standard submachine gun produced in the history of our party and army, or the first standard weapon in the history of police equipment. But because of the short production time, there are only 563 guns, so it has been unknown for a long time. The only thing I know now is that there is a gun on display in Dalian Police History Exhibition Hall.
