Tenet: МР -38/40 не имеет никакого отношения к Шмайсеру
.
Да я знаю. Просто отдаю дань молве. Любят его люди Шмайсером называть. Вот и я туда же. Хотя знаю, что это неправильно.
Tenet: ППШ – совсем другая машина. Патрон ТТ. И этим все сказано.
Так уж совсем другая? Прокомментируйте, пожалуйста, что именно вы имеете в виду. Я знаю, что калибр другой. Меня интересует суть "другого".
Tenet: Есть такая наука, баллистика. Точная наука, между прочим.
Далеко не всегда такая уж точная, а часто – просто эмпирическая.
Tenet: Странное дело. Командир разведроты с АКСУ? Не верю! Никто из моих знакомых не ездил туда с огрызком.
А где это у меня сказано с чем он вообще ездил? Он ответил просто из своего общего опыта.
Tenet: Процитируйте.
Ну, хорошо, вот вам несколько отрывоков об обоих красавцах. Только неохота переводить, поэтому привожу в оригинальном английском тексте. Но если у вас проблема с этим, дайте знать – переведу.

Chapter 13. The Terrible Twins (MP38 AND MP40).
Among Germany’s “wonder weapons” of WWII were the MP38 and MP40 submachine guns. Loved by the combat troops who used them, these weapons rank as some of the world’s best in their class.
The MP40 was the first high-quality gun made of cheap materials by cheap methods. It is important to note that the cycle will continue to repeat itself in the worst desert sand-storm, arctic blizzard or shell-churned mud and sand quagmire. The MP40 always worked. The German genius for quality from inexpensive mass production would later manifest itself in the great MG42 and MP43/StG44. These were the greatest machine guns and assault rifles respectively in their class.
The MP40 combines the virtues of rugged reliability and
extreme accuracy in long, controlled bursts. The weapon is just as deadly at
200 yards (примерно 200 метров) as it is at 50 yards.
…No short-range weapon, it scored at 200 yards and beyond, even on difficult targets. Once, when a Russian sniper opened up from a bell tower over 200 yards away (русский снайпер открыл стрельбу с колокольни на расстоянии свыше 200 ярдов), the German sergeant called for a sniper to come up and take him out, but a captain stepped forward and stitched the Russian up and down with an MP38, a typical demonstration of the gun’s accuracy in well trained hands.
Hitting a running man – it seems, enemy soldiers never walk – was easy with the MP40 but difficult with a magazine rifle M98k Mauser. Hits are what counts and hits are what the MP40 delivered in combat. It points as naturally as a Luger pistol and once you start firing, you keep firing until you have hit all the exposed enemy or run out of ammo. The MP40 definitely got the job done for the Germans. After the war, the Germans still considered the MP40 the best submachine gun in the world and didn’t care for the short mini-gun. The H&K MP5 subgun fires from a closed bolt and gives good accuracy on the first shot. But intended for short bursts only, it cannot deliver the long, controlled bursts of the MP40. When you want accurate full-auto fire, it is hard to beat the MP40. If you are in need of a submachine gun to stake your life on, the MP40 won’t let you down.
It was the increasing use of personal body armor that has spelled the end of widespread use of submachine guns. Even with armor-piercing ammo, they cannot equal the performance of the assault rifle.

I think the Uzi is a good weapon within its cartridge limitation, especially with the wood stock. The Uzi fires effectively because it uses advanced primer ignition rather than simply blowback. This means the cartridge actually has fired before the bolt slams home, jarring your aim otherwise.
I never had any problems hitting chest-sized targets at 200 yards with my Uzi.

the standard-model Uzi is a 250-meter weapon.

I have fired many thousands of rounds through the Uzi. It remains one of the most reliable designs ever fielded.
The barrel extends well into the receiver with a recess machined into the bolt body to accept the rear portion of the barrel. At the moment of ignition, the telescoping bolt surrounds 3.75 inches of the rear portion of the barrel. Thus, greater mass placed over the chamber – where the expanding propellant gases are generated – considerably moderates the upward muzzle flip. This also alters the weapon’s center of mass which accounts to a great extent for the Uzi’s excellent handling qualities. Another primary advantage of this feature is compactness.
While the extensive use of welded, sheet-metal stampings and high-impact plastic furniture resulted in a cost-effective weapon, the Uzi exhibits a great deal of quality in both design and manufacture. As an example, longitudinal channels stamped into the receiver body’s sidewalls serve effectively to trap debris ensuring reliable operation under the most extreme conditions of high dust and sand, so often encountered in the Middle East. They also add structural support to the receiver body.

The Uzi is reliable and
surprisingly accurate. It has been used by the armed forces of over 20 nations and has also been license-built by FN in Belgium. Israeli troops have fought numerous battles with this tough little gun and it will remain in service for years to come.

Simple and easy to operate, the Uzi submachine gun has established a powerful reputation in the last 30 years. Armies in every continent have adopted it and it is used by US Special Forces.
The Uzi is a very well balanced weapon, comfortable to shoot both from the hip and the shoulder.
Its stability makes it accurate when firing in the single-shot mode and ensures that it is easy to control when firing in full auto.
The Uzi has a reputation of a very dependable weapon. It has been dropped in water, buried in sand and bounced down cliffs, yet it continued to function.
When the Uzi appeared, it was revolutionary. The weapon was quickly recognized as a masterpiece of gun design and orders flooded in from armies around the world.
The German MP40 was a first-class gun but its size was governed by the size of the bolt and the distance it recoiled against the spring. Uziel Gal didn’t like this. He wanted a short and handy gun. He found the answer in the ‘wrap-around bolt”. A rather longer bolt than usual, had its forward two-thirds hollow. When the bolt ran forward, the hollow part ‘wrapped around’ the rear of the barrel until the bolt face met the chamber.
Another good idea was the placement of the magazine inside the pistol grip.
The Uzi went into production in 1951. It was an immediate success and it soon became a standard issue throughout the Israeli Army. The Uzi was rapidly taken into service by the German Army, the Dutch army and the armies of Ireland, Belgium, Thailand…

Стр.38: Battlefield Evaluation: comparing the Uzi with its rivals.
The Uzi has reasonable accuracy at up to 200 meters.Flogger11: А я насколько помню,в средиземном израильтяне пытались Су-33 с "Кузи" перехватить своими самолетами- однако безуспешно.
Очень интересно. А можно подробности? Мои сведения об этом инциденте несколько "иные".
Расскажите, пожалуйста, что вам известно об этом, а я сообщу свою инфу.
Flogger11: Это было результатом того,что израильские вертолеты на ПМВ имитировали корабли-по которым П-15 и выпускали.После чего вертолеты набирали высоту,ракеты естессно падали без ЦУ,а израильские катера (имевшие большую скорость хода) сближались с уже безоружным противником-и топили их "Габрами".
Я знаком с этой версией. А также и с тем, как ее раскритиковали в пух и прах.
Вроде, вертолеты – это сплошная фантазия. Не было их. А были просто РЭБ.
