Milsurps still in use
- Thread starter fugawi
- Start date
There are several:
-G43/K43
-FN-49
-MAS 49
-Tokarev SVT-40
The reason they weren't more common was that they were rapidly superseded by other battle rifles with a more modern layout (e.g. FAL and G3) and assault rifles.
Don't forget my favorite... the MG-42. Maybe not a milisurp but definitely a weapon with a long service history. You had the MG-42, basically a simplified, streamlined, easier to produce version of the MG-34.
The MG-42 is still in service to day as the MG-53, MG-1, MG-2 and MG-3. All basically the same gun.

Here is a closer look at one of those Polish honour gards.
check out his SKS...
Thats one NICE looking SKS!
That whole SKS is chromed!
Wonder how much it would cost to chome a '42....
.. and a Reising....
aaa and an SVT....
... and maybe even that Beretta 38A.
BTW, the Beretta 38A was a very darned decent SMG, even though a little on the heavy side. The British used a lot of them in the North African campaign. They are really one of the best 'unknown' weapons built. Very reliable and quite accurate. The triggers weren't 'set' triggers, either: one for SA fire, one for FA. Standard mag was 40 rounds and the Italian Model 38 cartridge was a brass-cased 9mm Parabellum load, marked on the base of every round so that it didn't get stuffed into an old 1910 Glisenti and do some damage in the wrong direction.

That is some impressive drill right there.... Keeping those balanced would take quite a bit of practice. Also, are those totally chromed and synthetic stocked or is that just what it looks like?
these are some ###y rifles that people are posting. 
+1 on the Beretta. The 38A and its successor, the 38/42, were the most underrated SMGs of WWII. Unlike most of their contemporaries, the Berettas had a double feed position magazine, which is intrinsically more reliable than a double stack single feed position one. I believe that the magazines for the Uzi were based on the Beretta design.
I had a few honor guard Sks in stock. Few lucky people got them.I hope someone can post pictures of those here. The finish and chrome does look awesome on those and funny thing is that those are not just for show, those do shoot.
