📜 What if the USM1 was the first American assault rifle? After all, it strongly resembles it: a light individual weapon with a detachable magazine firing an intermediate cartridge. At the same time the Germans will develop the MP43, in a period when the concept of assault rifle does not exist! We have the cross between the development of automatic rifles and heavy submachine guns.
We discuss it together.
▶Thanks to LAI Publications for the full auto shooting sequence with the USM2 and the reflection around the question:
