what 50?. so, you say?, 50 Prototype's?, show me one in person, did you ever shoot one?, mister know it all!.
The link i showed you and every other source you can find, they were used in combat, they were issued to soldiers.
it's hard to see something in person, when there are only two or three of the Prototype's of the SMG left in the world!.
The gun was being at an early stage of issue.
that's not enough to be anything more then just emergency issue of Prototype's!, gezzs!, get a life!.
A prototype is an original type, form, or instance of something serving as a typical example, basis, or standard for other things of the same category.
Thats according to wikipedia, just because both of the weapons have not been around long enough for larger numbers to be issued doesnt mean they're prototypes, both entered production and were issued, small numbers stem from the fact that they entered production stage respectively months and days before the war.
what on god's green earth are you talking about here?, the U.S. M-1 Garand Service Rilfe was in 30/06 (7.62 x 63 mm), which is almost the same as 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm), the MP-44 was in 8mm Kurz (7.92x33mm), which the Russian's Copied for the AKM-47, AK-47, Type 56 and the SKS's 7.62x39mm (which is a .303bore, not a .308 bore by the way!).
So by your logic rifles are similar because they use a similar caliber? Thats a pretty silly thing to say :)
You know, only a very rude, demeaning and very, very condescending person, uses terms and words the way you do toward other member of "PF", Sokrates!.
I'm sorry i just cope badly with stupidity, notice that i agreed with you when you finally (after five or six attempts) produced a Polish design based on American one but you're trying to attach this to every other design.
The fact is Poles designed both personal weapons and armor/mechanized vehicles that were head and shoulders above the contemporary German and Western design and matched only by the Russians, that Poland was pyss poor and had barely any factories to produce that stuff is another matter.
Goodnight.
