Snow Leopard Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I didn't know that France created the Delacre Model 1936 which was the world's first Bullpup submachine gun. I tried to find out why not use but lack of data, Can anyone share information with us? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Snow Leopard, I didn't,either, so here it is. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Henri-Delacre This cites it as having U.S. Patent No. 2535303 http://www.patents.com/Fire-rate-control-a-submachine-gun-or-light-machine-gun/US5379677/en-US/ Looked for it but didn't find it in captured service in Gander & Chamberlain's WEAPONS OF THE THIRD REICH, but it occurs to me you may wish to check Chinn's THE MACHINE GUN, a formerly classified 5-volume set which was definitive when originally produced. Downloads and other formats of this once rare set are readily available. Regards, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
