Charlie Flick Posted September 15 Share #3 Posted September 15 Wow! That is a breathtaking collection, and I am sure that it only scratches the surface of what the Army has in its museum system. I would love to take a stroll through that place. Thanks for the post. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that contraption with a carousel of what appears to be M1911 magazines? That is a WW1 experimental submachine gun. The turret like device held ten 7 round .45 pistol magazines. This was 21 inches long and weighed about 8.5 pounds. It was never adopted by the US Army.. It was manufactured in Falls, Ohio. It was developed by William Andrew.

I can see why it wasn't adopted, but hey, every invention has to start somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top is George Hydes model 35 Bottom is George Hydes M2 which was adopted but never got into wide service due to Marlins production models not being reliable, so the M3 was adopted instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
