http://www.historicalfirearms.info/post/1651675955.....917-mauser
10.Septembra na historicalfirearms.info je predstavljen Mauser Model 1917 ‘Trench Carbine’
Meni je ovo klasični Mauser C96 samo u pokušaju da se od pištolja uzdigne do automata..Prosudite sami.
Mauser Model 1917 ‘Trench Carbine’
In 1917, Mauser Werke responded to a request from the German Army’s Gewehr-Prufungs-Kommission (GPK) to submit a new weapon to equip Sturmtruppen. This weapon would later become known as the submachine gun. The GPK began its search in 1915, with a number of manufacturers developing designs including Rhinemetall, Walther, Bergmann and Schwarzlose.
Mauser’s submission consisted of a development from their popular C96 pistol. Chambered in 9x19mm the Model 1917 ‘Trench Carbine’ was semi-automatic only so did not completely meet the GPK’s specification for a close-bolt automatic submachine gun. The Model 1917, unlike the C96 pistol, fed from an impressive double stack, double feed 40-round detachable magazine - 10 and 20 round magazines were also made. The carbine’s receiver has no stripper clip guide like the pistols it was based on.
From the few available images of the surviving examples it appears that the later serial number guns (including #31, see images #2 & #3) had extended magazine housings when compared to the earlier Model 1917 prototypes (such as serial #5, see image #4). As a result the shorter magazines (see in image #4) would not have fitted the later guns. The shape of the hammers and the design of the sights as well as the shape of the ejection port also varies between the early and late examples.

The carbine had a full fixed stock and a foregrip similar to earlier Mauser C96 carbines such as the commercial Jagdkarabiner. One clear difference from other C96s is that Mauser extended the rear of the receiver to prevent hammer bite. The carbine also had a disassembly plunger inside the trigger guard. The small magazine release was located below the trigger guard. The Model 1917 may have been a better fit for Sturmtruppen than the Lange Pistole 08 with its more ergonomic stock, however, Mauser’s carbine would certainly not have been a cheap weapon to manufacture.
While the GPK considered the Mauser carbine it did not adopt the weapon. Instead, the Bergmann MP18,I was later selected, despite firing from an open bolt, as it met the fully automatic requirement and its simplicity impressed the GPK. Mauser’s 40-round box magazine was certainly superior, however, the MP18,I fed from the 32-round Trommelmagazin as this was had been in production since late 1916. Mauser made an estimated 40 Model 1917 carbines and while tested none were issued. Perhaps as few as four examples survive today.

Mauser je bio konkurent MP-18.
Bilo je 5 konkurenata:
Bergmann/Schmeisser MP-18 - usvojen
Walther - stavljao sam slike, jako interesantan, ali ga je suludi okvir upropastio
Mauser - gore
Luger - cudoviste
DWM - prakticno nepoznato sta je isti bio. Sumnja se da su DWM-ov i Lugerov prototip bili ista stvar, ali se u dokumentaciji spominje da je bilo 5 konkurenata...
Na kraju MP-18 je bio najrealnije i najprostije resenje.

Ovo je izuzetno lepa i retka kombinacija dugocevnog (artiljerijskog) Lugera sa specificnim puzastim magacinom ali nije automat.

Gdje je granica izmedju automata i automatskog pistolja ?
Evo primjer m 61/m 84 ,7.65 mm i uzi ?

Po meni za status automata bi trebalo da se pored pištoljske municije na istom ostvaruje i veći domet zbog duže cevi .Tako se i javljaju zbrke da se neka oružja sa puščanim metkom i kraćom cevi isto nazivaju automati a ima i obrnutog slučaja da se neki automati ubrajaju u iste iako bi logičnije zbog kratke cevi kao na pištoljima a zbog mogućnosti automatske-rafalne vatre uvrste u automatske pištolje.
A m61 je greška ako si mislio na originalni Škorpion njemu je oznaka VZ61

Andrews Machine Carbine
http://www.historicalfirearms.info/post/1614061027.....ws-machine
The Andrews Machine Carbine is an interesting side-note to the history of submachine guns during the Second World War. Little information is available on the weapon itself, although some relatively good black and white photographs exist.
Developed by an Australian designer - Andrews, first name unknown, in 1942-43. Prototypes of the weapon were made under a private contract by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1943. BSA had also worked on the SOE’s Welgun project so had experience producing submachine guns.
The weapon used a conventional blowback action and fed from Sten magazines from the left side of the receiver. The Andrews had two recoil spring guide rods which ran the full length of the receiver with the barrel positioned between them. The weapons bolt also rode on the guide rods, as a result the trigger mechanism is attached to the right side of the receiver in a separate housing with what looks to be a safety catch, with the marking ‘S’ on it. BSA Marked the side plate of this housing with ‘Andrews Machine Carbine’. The trigger, but not the folding pistol grip, is also offset to the right.
The weapon does not appear to use the Sten’s magazine release and what appears to be a single sling loop at the rear of the receiver seems to actually be a ring-pull cocking device. Presumably pulled to bring the bolt to the rear. No conventional cocking handle can be seen in the available photographs. Another photograph shows the weapon using a Sten magazine as a sort of stock (see image #4), although it is unclear how this attached to the receiver. The wear pattern to the weapon’s finish (see images #1 & #2) suggests that the front of the receiver is enclosed by a sliding dust cover which can be pulled to the rear to cover the ejection port. Note the cutout in the cover for the trigger mechanism housing. From the photographs available there is no corresponding cutout on the other side for the magazine housing which suggests the magazine housing and release may be attached to the sliding dust cover. How this design feature affected the weapon’s feed reliability is unclear.
The Andrews’ compact design and folding grip might suggest the weapon was perhaps intended for clandestine purposes like the Welrod pistol. The British Army’s Ordnance Board tested the weapon at Pendine in September - November 1943. Following comparative tests with a raft of other contemporary machine carbines the Board reported the Andrews was “not a comfortable [gun] to hold, the barrel casing being too smooth and thick and the pistol grip too small… The change lever and safety catch mechanism is weak and often fails to function correctly.” The ‘magazine buttstock’ was deemed “liable to come loose.” The Andrews’ “sliding outer barrel casing became bent and prevented the gun being closed and is a definite weakness.” The report notes that the Andrews suffered by far the most stoppages with 18 failures. The report concluded that the Andrews had “one or two serious defects and is not very robust.” As no need for the weapon was envisaged, no further action with the design was recommended.
