Hey, they may be ugly, and the MAS38 may have shot a worthless cartridge, but French SMGs weren't all bad.

The MAT49 at least folded up nicely.

Hi-res here.

Yep, MAS38, that's the one. That's what I mean, like expending all of that engineering talent to solve a non-real problem, and have it shoot a rather wussy cartridge, to boot! Frogs! Just weird. Disclaimer (declaring my interest): They make some good cheese, but I think their wine is overpriced.

The first time I ever saw one was Anthony Quinn holding one in a movie where he played a French Paratrooper in Algeria. I always thought they were pretty cool.
