Reckinger M50 submachine gun is designed by Eugene? Reckinger? Reckinger once started his career as a gun designer as a member of the m191pistol design team? From the outbreak of World War I to the end of World War II, Reckinger worked in Sabaki Company? Stevenson company? Marin company? Mossberg company and many other private companies have worked as gun designers?
The trial-produced Reckinger M50 submachine gun was pointed out to have the shortcoming of fierce muzzle jump in the test. Therefore, a big brake is installed on the muzzle of the mass-produced M50 submachine gun.
1939 After the outbreak of World War II in Europe, Reckinger predicted in advance with his keen eyes that the demand for automatic weapons by the US military would increase greatly, and put in manpower to design new submachine guns? The submachine gun he designed was patented in the United States on June 28th. 1940?
194 1 1 In February, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the base of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, and the United States officially declared its participation in the war? As predicted by Reckinger, the American army at that time was not fully equipped with automatic weapons, and was very busy solving the shortage of automatic weapons after it announced its participation in the war?
The ruler can be adjusted by lifting the back end of the ruler and moving the cursor back and forth by its elasticity. The gauge can be adjusted within the range of 50-300mm.
After the flames of World War II began to spread in Europe, the US Army began to test submachine guns with the possibility of mass production? Harrington, located in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA? Reckinger M50 submachine gun trial-produced by Richardson Weapons Factory? 194 1 In July, the US military played against Harrington? The Reckinger M50 submachine gun manufactured by Richardson Weapons Company was tested?
The U.S army's test results on the trial-produced Reckinger M50 submachine gun are not satisfactory? The test results show that although the low recoil of the trial-produced gun is evaluated, it is also pointed out that the gun has some shortcomings such as serious muzzle jump when shooting? The U.S. army pointed out that it is difficult to aim at the target continuously, because it is obvious that the muzzle jumps after four shots in a row? In addition, it is pointed out that the gun's ability to resist sediment and dust is very low, which is prone to poor handling?
The prototype Reckinger M50 submachine gun was returned to Harrington? Richardson weapons company, accept the improvement of the above shortcomings? In order to reduce the muzzle jump, the improved Reckinger M50 submachine gun is equipped with a gate at the muzzle? The brake is longer than the Thomson submachine gun, and there is a big gap on the brake. When firing, the brake uses downward gas force to restrain the muzzle from jumping up.
194l, 165438+ 10 In the afternoon, the improved Reckinger M50 submachine gun was fully tested by the US Army? In the comprehensive test, the U.S. Army also made a comparative test with the improved Reckinger M50 submachine gun and Thomson M 1928A 1 submachine gun? According to the comprehensive test results, the improved Reckinger M50 submachine gun was well received by the United States Army Comprehensive Test Committee, especially the folding stock made of round steel bars, which was well received because of its small size? In order to promote further tests, the Army again ordered 1 0,000 improved Reckinger M50 submachine guns with folding stock? The handle of submachine gun has a unique structure and is located at the opening under the stock.
Reisinger M50 submachine gun with folding stock was later named "reisinger M55 submachine gun"? However, the evaluation of submachine guns by the Infantry Committee participating in the Army Comprehensive Test is quite different from that of the Army Comprehensive Test Committee? The Infantry Committee pointed out that the fixing screw on Reckinger M50 submachine gun is easy to loosen when shooting, and the small screw or spring is easy to be lost when it is disassembled normally. In addition, it is pointed out that the magazine lacks strength and is not suitable for ground battlefield? Different from the Infantry Committee, the Cavalry Committee, which participated in the Army's comprehensive test, spoke highly of the lightweight of Reckinger M50 submachine gun. Small, compared with the caliber of 1 1.43mm, and chose the improved M50 submachine gun as the temporary standard weapon? In addition, 50 M50 submachine guns with oilers were ordered for further testing.
Standby submachine gun? The handle of the bolt is located under the butt stock, and it can be directly operated by holding the butt stock in the left hand, so continuous shooting has excellent performance?
Although the US Army is facing a serious shortage of automatic weapons, it is the US Navy that feels the shortage of automatic weapons more deeply? The us navy also includes marines who carry out land and more brutal landing operations? The U.S navy has no production equipment for light weapons, so as usual, the supply of light weapons has always depended on the army? It is conceivable that after the outbreak of World War II, how urgent is the shortage of weapons faced by the US Navy when the Army itself is facing a serious shortage of weapons? In order to solve this thorny problem, the U.S navy has to look for sources of weapons supply other than the army's arsenal?
After the army's comprehensive test of Reckinger M50 submachine gun, Harrington? Richardson weapons company began to discuss the possibility of putting Reginger M50 submachine gun into mass production? The us navy, especially the marine corps, showed great interest in this submachine gun and decided to continue testing?
What is the reducer part of submachine gun after disassembling it? Speed machine, which can change the shooting mode of single shot or continuous shooting, is located on the right side of the back of the box. Speed machine also plays an insurance role? What is the shape of the handle of the wire drawing machine after the barrel and other main parts are removed from the gun? Pull the handle into an independent structure, and the bolt is always in the forward position when moving?
During the period from the end of 194 1 to the beginning of 1942, the US Navy and Marine Corps tested Reckinger M50 submachine gun, and finally came to the conclusion that submachine gun is suitable as a standard weapon? The Marines who launched the landing operation spoke highly of the Reginger M50 submachine gun, pointing out that it is very suitable for use on ships with limited space. In addition, it also points out the advantages of high single hit accuracy in the factory?
In fact, the production quantity of Thomson M 1928A 1 submachine guns that the US Marine Corps hoped to equip at that time could not meet the equipment demand of the US military, and the US Navy could not count on the supply of the Army at all? This situation became the biggest reason why Reckinger M50 submachine gun was selected as the standard weapon of the Marine Corps? 1in the spring of 942, the Reckinger M50 submachine gun was listed as the standard weapon of the US Marine Corps?
How to operate the magazine of Reckinger M50 submachine gun? The magazine is located behind the magazine sleeve. After pushing the magazine back with your thumb, you can pull it out. Faced with the huge demand for automatic weapons by the U.S. military, many gun companies have invested in the research, development and production of new automatic weapons? 194 1 noon 65438+February, after the Reckinger M50 submachine gun was fully tested by the US Army, Reckinger and Harrington? Richardson Weapons Company signed a production contract for this submachine gun and started production?
The United States Army Integrated Test Board was used as a further test for Harrington? Richardson ordered l000 Reginger M50 submachine guns with folding stock? In addition, the Cavalry Committee participating in the Army's comprehensive test also ordered 50 M50 submachine guns and oilers for further testing. Nevertheless, the U.S army did not designate the Reckinger M50 submachine gun as a temporary weapon or put it into mass production?
After the mass production of M3/M3A 1 submachine guns entered the orbit, M3 series submachine guns became the main submachine guns of the US military. The biggest reason why the U.S army didn't use Reckinger M50 submachine gun was that it didn't give a high evaluation in the comprehensive test? M50 submachine gun that usually decomposes? After loosening the fixing screw behind the magazine insertion opening, the main parts of the gun can be simply removed for wiping or oiling.
On the other hand, in 1942, the US Marine Corps, which used Reckinger M50 submachine guns, ordered 20,000 Reckinger M50 submachine guns at the first order? Reisinger M50 submachine gun with wooden butt was adopted by the US Marine Corps, and later reisinger M55 submachine gun with metal folding butt was added? In the U.S. Marine Corps, Reckinger M55 submachine guns with folding stock are supplied to airborne troops and signal soldiers of the Marine Corps, and light submachine guns are needed? The United States Marine Corps sent a message to Harrington? Richardson ordered 65,000 Reckinger M50 and M55 submachine guns? According to the data at the beginning of 1943, up to this period, about 52,000 Reckinger submachine guns have been equipped to the US Marine Corps? By the end of World War II in 1945, it is not clear whether all the 65,000 Reckinger submachine guns were in the hands of the Marine Corps. Harrington's Reginger M50 and M55 submachine guns? The production of Richardson weapons company continued until the end of World War II. It is estimated that the output of * * * is about 654.38+10,000 pieces. The specific production quantity is still unclear? These Reckinger submachine guns are not only used by the US military, but also supplied to the armies of other countries at the United Nations? In addition, Reckinger submachine guns are also supplied to American police who are responsible for maintaining public order? For prison guards and military guards?
Reckinger M50 and M55 submachine guns produced in World War II, except Harrington? Besides the guns with the name of Richardson Weapons Company, there are also guns engraved with "DEFENSE SUPPLYCOMPANY"? "Defense Supply Company" is the arms supply agency of the US government. In order not to let the outside world know which specific weapon production enterprise is responsible for the production of a certain weapon, this seal was specially engraved to cover up the production location and special overseas supply. Actually, the Reginger M55 submachine gun engraved with the words "DEFENSE SUPPLYCOMPANY" and the one engraved with the words "Harrington? The guns named after Richardson Weapons Company are all made by Harrington? Produced by Richardson weapons company?
