Yugoslavia's PPSh Lookalike: The M49/57

Shortly after the end of World War Two, Yugoslavia adopted a submachine gun that looked very much like the Soviet PPSh-41, and was obviously inspired by it. However, the manufacturing methods were completely different, with the Yugoslav gun being of all milled construction and with internal parts far more similar to the Beretta 38 family of SMGs than to the PPSh. In fact, the original Yugoslav M49 used a captive recoil spring like the Beretta 38, which was simplified in the M49/57 variation just as is was simplified by Beretta during WW2.
The controls are similar to the PPSh, particularly the fire selector lever and the magazine release, which are basically identical in both guns. The Yugo uses a push-button safety in place of the PPSh's bolt-mounted safety, and the disassembly procedure is entirely different because of the different construction technique.
The M49 and M49/57 were offered for export sale in both 7.62mm Tokarev and 9mm Parabellum, but I was not able to find evidence of any substantial sales. The gun was ultimately replaced in Yugoslav service by the M56 submachine gun - a gun with an interesting similarity to the German MP40.
Thanks to Marstar for letting me examine their M49/57!

The Yugoslavs had an interesting habit of going their own way with this stuff. For instance, take the PAP M59/66--it's a copy of the SKS, and uses the same Soviet cartridge, but the grenade launcher on it is for NATO rifle grenades. (I think their AKM-alike had the same thing going on.)

Yugo SKS's are probably my favorite of all of those. the BM-59 had a similar grenade sight system which I find neat.

Actually the reason the bolt is similar to the Beretta is because Titos partisan army (Commie Yugoslavs) fought against the italian. Since they were partisans and not an army they just took the weapons they had accses to mostly from the enemies wich they killed (Italians and Germans) so they took some lessons from their enemies weapons (Beretta and Mauser)

There were a lot of Beretta submachine guns captured/surrendered during WW2 in Yugoslavia. Inspiration for the design of the receiver definitely comes from that. Also ZK 383 was a prized possession among partisans and chetniks (captured from Bulgarians and some SS/Police forces) and that may be the inspiration for the removable barrel.

Yugo weapons tech seems to be sort of the opposite of French and Czech. The latter two just love to innovate, always making their own unique designs with only peripheral interest in their neighbours; great for innovation and being the first out of the gate, but not always great for getting the very best designs in the long run. Meanwhile, Yugoslavian weapon designers sit hiding in the bushes watching Germany and Russia and whoever else comes up with something good, then latches onto their ideas and, rather than simply adapting it for their own use, make their own thing that's very much like what their neighbours are using at first glance, but when you get into it is surprisingly unique.

Looks like a great design. Sensible upgrades over the Soviet one, like the recoil system. Removable barrel is an excellent idea too. It seems to me that a tubular receiver and round bolt makes the most sense, especially in a wood stock. I could be wrong, but i would think the weight would be more evenly distributed in a round bolt, which would help with smoothness of cycling, etc. Makes sense for a coil spring too, as almost all recoil springs are. The Yugoslavs often went their own way to a degree, and the resulting weapons seem sensible, and well thought out, and of good quality. Great video as always. Thank you

I wore it for 1.5 years in JNA. There is no better machine, because you can disassemble and assemble it in 14 seconds. Even though you are in a burst position, you can shoot individually. The weapon is accurate at 200m, a company of 30 soldiers at 6 shooting positions at night broke all the car lights halfway through the shooting. It's great for guard duty, because you can clip the machine to your belt, where the spring cover is, and you don't have to hold it on your shoulder or in your hands. You have both hands on the shutter and the trigger.

Hi! I really like your content! can you maybe find a russian gatling gun? Theyre are called Gryazev Shiponuv guns. They are very unique .These gatling guns are very different from the american ones, the biggest difference being that they are gas operated instead of electrically powered, therefore they have also a much higher rate of fire, and they dont need external power. It would be very cool to see one of those. Gryazev also made some other very interesting gas operated, extremely high rpm machine guns. I really suggest looking into them, they are spectacular!

The PPSh is stamped out of very thick pieces of steel. I wouldn't assume the M49 is heavier without confirmation from actual sources. Edit: Apparently, the M49 is heavier by a quarter of a pound. 3.63 kg vs 3.75 kg. Not much of a difference, I'd say.

I'm noticing a trend in early to mid century SMGs. They all have a massive bolt shuttling back and forth in the firearm. Why have so much mass moving around, is it to ensure primer detonation? Looking at the newer SMGs they all went away from this type of design, but why did this type of design reign almost completly unchanged for 40 years?

Judas Preest Because that way they can be open bolt guns, which were way easier and cheaper to make?

@bobjoe-bv2vc 6 жыл бұрын

Unlike some later SMGs, these tend to be fixed firing-pin staight blowback designs. Blowback cycling rate depends on the stiffness of the recoil spring. The bolt mass to spring stiffnes ratio needs to be balenced, and leaning towards a heavy bolt and weak spring slows the firing rate.

@AsbestosMuffins 6 жыл бұрын

Judas Preest smgs used to be frontline weapons, mostly cheap to make as well, a big shuttling mass is easy to mill, easy to design. later on they evolved into more police, second line, and special use weapons where compactness, safety and accuracy, as well as durrability became more of a concern. post war also saw the advent of telescopic bolts which were harder to build but allow you to make a smg smaller for the same mechanism. just watch a few of his smg videos, he has done a pretty thorough overview of the evolution of smgs by now

@Reactordrone 6 жыл бұрын

They're simple blowback operation. The only thing stopping the bolt opening when the cartridge fires is spring pressure and bolt inertia. Heavy bolt gives you high inertia to delay opening without having to have a massively heavy spring.

@hybrid_grizzly 6 жыл бұрын

With a massive enough bolt you can have a smg that doesn't use a locked breech, the inertia of the bolt is enough to keep the action closed long enough to be safe. This simplifies manufacturing and maintenance of the gun meaning a country can produce more in a shorter amount of time. It also keeps the rate of fire low enough to be manageable without any complex mechanism to slow it down

Vincent Simbe No domestic design until post WW2. Before the war Kingdom of Yugoslavia tested a special variant of the Mauser "Schnellfeuer" but in the end decided on buying M1928 Thompsons to arm it's paratroopers and special "storm-battalions". These arrived just before the German invasion and the entire batch was captured and later used by the Germans (most given out to domestic collaborators). During WW2 partisans and chetniks used whatever they captured and what Western Allies provided as aid. When Soviets entered Yugoslavia in 1944 partisans got a lot of Soviet equipment.

Its a yugoslav perfection

A bit like MP Suomi, and a bit like Erma PM (ERMA Maschinepistole). It doesn't look like PPSz.

The ERMA was the first submachinegun yugoslavia ever adopted, that was back when it was still a monarchy, the later socialists probably had some lyieing around

LineOfCars when I was out there on Op Grapple 2 there was a whole panoply of old style firearms and some expedient solutions ( like naval torpedos lashed onto carts to act as anti tank weapons) Canadian forces where over there and being more liberal in their firearms legislation wondered if it came back with them. One infantry soldier tried to send back a hand grenade in the mail. Slight problem was it looked like a hand grenade wrapped in brown packing paper ( not the sharpest tool in the box )

LineOfCars you sign up you go where you are sent. It was mostly bosniaks that didn’t have the firearms when I was there.

LineOfCars we had NI to contend with so being caught in the middle of something was par for the course. Lovely country lovely people in FRY. So sad that issue couldn’t be resolved in other fashion
