The great thing about this weapon is that to this very day, you can still obtain from a very wide source base, nearly all the spare parts and accoutrements. I managed to find the original manual, sling and issue kit from Ebay!.
@akjk123123 I wouldn't call it ugly. I'd say it looks all business. If a gun looks pretty and does the job, then that is good, if it's ugly and does the job, then I say it looks all business.
@MegaHitman666 I've served a lot of years in the french forces and I've only seen double column 32 rds mags ! There is a single column 20 rds mag named " sahara " but I haven't seen any . The 32 rds mag makes this gun the equivalent of german MP 40 or british STEN submachine gun in firepower . The MAT 49 is simple to use and to care of , it's reliable and can be foldeded making it easy to hide or carry . I LOVE THIS GUN ! Rate of fire : 550 shots per minute ....
Anyone having served "a lot of years" in the French Forces from the 60s to the 90s has come across the 20 rounds "désert" magazine, it was standard with the paratroopers units pre-deployed in Africa like in Dakar, Fort Lamy, Beyrouth, Djibouti......
Plenty of military cooks, mechanics, medics..... had little use for weapons.
The 20 round magazine was not used by units based in France and Germany (FFA) but almost exclusively by the troops serving overseas, same as the Citroen FOM truck.
Whatever you did you were not in a RPIMA or RIMA.

@MegaHitman666 Yes the 20 rds mag has been in use during the algerian war . It had been designed for a use in sandy conditions . But because of it's poor capacity It has been abandonned for the 32 rds mag by most of the french regiments . The advantage of having a " special sand " mag appeard to be less interesting than to have a standard 32 rds mag , because the efficience of the MAT wasn't affected at all . The Mat was reliable enough to be fed with the 32 rds mag even in sandy conditions .
Shame people don't know about this gun. One of the best SMGs issued. It is cheap, reliable, simple to use, easy to handle, extremely compact, and one of the safest guns ever made. You can fold the magazine away from the gun when not using it, making storage easy and reducing risk of accident but the instant trouble comes, quick flip and 32 rounds of 9mm ready.
@Stritchers Yeh i agree, alot of countrys used this gun till around 1970 or 1990 not so sure about it. It was like the ak 47 of Sub-Machine guns. It was such a great weapon system, they made a rifle sized version with a long barrel and a full stock.
@Stritchers You're totally right ! I've served a long time in the french forces and you have exactly said what was to say about this fantastic SMG ! I don't have anything to add to your comment ! I own one of these machines and I love it soooo much !!!
mat 49 rapide à assembler, une fois repliée très compacte. elle a un système qui empeche la cartouche coincée d'exploser dans l'arme .inconvénient un peu lourde.
@HardGameCore Il y a eu des semi qui ont équipées brièvement des convoyeurs de fonds, très peu en fait et peut-être équipé un temps l'administration pénitentiaire au moins pour essai.
J'ai vu, j'en suis sur des versions a canon long, garde maine en tôle perforée et crosse rigide en bois équiper la police vers 1970.
je ne savais pas pour les convoyeurs c'était les memes modèles que pour la gendarmerie ?, mais seulement 95°/. est neutralisé à l'heure actuelle et si une seule MAT49 à le malheur de revenir à la surface je n'ose meme pas imaginer à quelle prix cela doit se vendre.

Still,is one of the best sub,ever!
Only problem it had,was that the CHARGEUR,has only one column and therefore,the MAGAZINE takes less bullets ,compared to other subs!
The rate of fire is excellent!
