At the beginning of Croatia's Homeland War, a severe need for small arms led to a whole plethora of simple submachine gun designs. Some were made in proper factories with professional tooling, and some were made by a couple blokes in a shed - and the Vila Velebita we are looking at today definitely falls into the "blokes in a shed" category. Designed by one Juraj Đelalije, it takes many elements from the Yugoslav M56 (which in turn took many of them from the German MP40). It is chambered for 9mm Parabellum, using modified Uzi magazines. Only a very small number were made, possibly less than 100 and definitely not more than 200.
A big thanks to the Croatian Police Museum (Muzej Policije) in Zagreb for giving me access to film this cool piece for you! Check them out at: muzej-policije.gov.hr

A bit of info on the name. It's named after Croatian patriotic folk song from 19th century. Literal translation is "Fairy of Velebit". Velebit is largest mountain range in Croatia.
@engineer1941
@engineer1941 5 ай бұрын
Fairy of Velebit in that song is also reference to Croatian Fairy from Petar Zoranć book Planine ("Mountains") from 1536. One of most important defences of Croatian language in literature where she cries because Croatian writers are ashamed to use Croatian language while writing their books but using foregin languages.

Vila is a mythical creature present in all Slavic nations. They are the most beautiful, forever young girls, with long hair, dressed in long white dresses. They are dangerous. They can lure you like sirens, or you can accidentally hurt them, or step on the ground where they have danced and it will make you seriously ill. General advice is to avoid them and not to disturb them. They are also good with herbs, both poisonous and medicinal. Top Tier heroes have them as sisters and they help them sometimes with wise advices. There is a famous medieval song in which 2 heroes were fighting and at some point one of them was reminded by Vila that he has a hidden knife. This is how he won the duel.

SMGs definitely seem to be the easiest most effective firearm to make. The Warsaw Uprising museum has some brilliant examples of Sten copies and original designs. A person I know in the U.K. boasted on his cop friend’s social media he could easily build such a thing. The cop took it down and DM’d the bloke reminding him some of his friends were in specialist police roles and not to be so …. Stupid! I’d add that even if I had the skills and resources I’d never attempt such! 😊

I’m kind of bemused that so little is known about it, even considering the tiny production run. This was only 30 odd years ago, almost everyone involved should still be alive, if mostly retired by now. At least some names are known, it should be possible to research this by picking up the phone. I guess its more of a case of priorities and available research time vs significance, or lack of it, of the weapon.

Except for the little "war" thing, which has an unfortunate habit of getting in the way of still being alive - especially if you're a known armourer, which would make you an extremely-high-priority target. :-(

Machinist here. Why the serial number on the charging handle? If the guy who made the other parts also made that charging handle, he was probably pretty proud of that part. Thats a good looking part with a lot of fifferent machining steps. Id number it too

You really should have given this Croatian gun series a goofy name of some sort. Some of these guns are so bonkers

I friggin love guns, always have. I'm a mechanic by trade and I do a bit of shed engineering. I modify tools to make them suit my purpose, I do some light fabrication. I would love to be able to tinker and build an open bolt submachine gun. Unfortunately that would land me in jail for a long time. A man can dream...
