Shameless Copycat Guns in History

Weapons manufacturing is the backbone of each country’s defense system. Having a domestic defense industry provides a country with the capability of defending its territory and interests independently. Production of weapons, even if they are small arms, is an expensive and complex business however. It takes a lot of time, expert knowledge, and money to design the weapon, test it, and finally put it into production. That is why many countries resort to the license-production of firearms. It is far cheaper and more efficient to produce a weapon that another country has developed. it can however come at the price of political and diplomatic strain. It is not uncommon to find that some countries resort to unlicensed weapon production. Weapon blueprints can be obtained through various methods, usually by industrial espionage, and used to make copycat weapons. Some of these weapons have only a couple of so-called “borrowed” features, while others are complete clones of the originals.

    That reminds me of the time in Vietnam. when the Navy seals desperately needed a sub-machine gun in 9mm, and was using the Swedish K at the time. Seeing how Sweden was a neutral country, it posed a problem having Swedish guns in a war zone to which they cut off the supply of new sub-machine guns. So the government commissioned Smith and Wesson to make the model 76 which was a direct copy of the Swedish K. Super interesting story in my opinion. I don’t understand why when the government shamelessly copies something it’s okay, but when I pirate a copy of shrek 3 to DVD the FBI kicks down my door.

    The Police Department where I work here in Brazil still has some units of Smith & Wesson M-76 (probably supplied by CIA during anti-Communist struggle in 70's). M-76 is a fragile gun. All that I handled are with loose buttstocks, dropping magazines while cocking or losing parts. Other SMGs of the same era, or even older (like Beretta M-12 or Brazilian INA) generally came to our days in better conditions.

    Just a note for the Israeli Galil, Yisrael Galili was not Palestinian but rather Russian with the original name of Mikail Balashnikov yes Balashnikov and he has no connection to Mikail Kalashnikov the famous AK47 designer. He changed his name to Yisrael Galili to sound more Israeli like because they were going to name a gun after him and so Galili was chosen. Edit: lot of people seem to think Balashnikov was born in Mandatory palestine but no he was not, the wiki page you read is of Yisrael Berchenko a Hagganah commander who also changed his name to Galili. So in summery there are 2 Yisrael Galili's one with the original name of Mikail Balashnikov, a Soviet who moved to Israel and designed the Galil rifle, and Yisrael Berchenko who was born in Israel and was a Haggana (underground millitia before the IDF) commander.

    It's demonstrably not a straight copy, I think the video was more interested in talking about how much the Finnish variation played in the design of the Galil. Virtually every AK derivative from outside Russia brings someone unique to the table. The AK itself took massive notes from the American M1 Garand (though people often misrepresent the STG44 as being the main inspiration for the AK, despite Kalashnikov's design sharing very little with the STG and a lot with the operating system of the M1, which the soviets had access to via lend lease)

    Norinco also produced the Type 56 a very similar copy of the Tula Soviet SKS. However this rifle was designed with cooperation from the Soviet Union . However the Soviet Union regretted it after the Sino Soviet Split. This is when the two communist countries turned on each other . They also later designed the Type 63 which is also in COD Cold War. It has a detachable 20 round magazine where the original SKS uses stripper clips . The Type 63 could also be produced for full automatic fire where the original SKS was semi automatic .The Type 63 had higher accuracy then the Type 56 a Chinese Copy of the AK47. The Chinese army used their own copies of the SKSs and AK47s against the Soviets the same country they copied from in the Sino Soviet border war.

    The animation of parts falling off of the Chinese 'M-16' reminds me of the original M-60, used in Vietnam. The trigger section had a tendency to fall off rather sneakily if not checked or somehow fastened more securely. This would prove to be rather embarrassing when the M-60 gunner needed to lay down suppressive fire during an enemy ambush. Some gunners wound their dogtag chain around the barrel to prevent some other stuff from getting loose.

    Yisrael Galili actually was not originally called that. He actually had to change his name because of the rifle. His original name was completely unsuitable for someone developing a Kalashnikov copy. Believe or not, it was Balashnikov. RK62 use also a milled receiver. Only exception were the RK62-76 models made by Valmet for about five years from the the late 70s. Sako never used stamped receivers. The army required similar tolerances for the stamped so it did not become much cheaper and was abandoned. Mine was from 1973 and had a milled receiver. Sten was a simplified version of Lanchester SMG which was a copy of German MP-28 Schmeisser. Schmeisser was one of few German SMGs with semi-automatic option and Sten kept that. MP40 was only fully automatic.

    Yes, the Lanchester was the British 'version' of the German MP28 from which as you mentioned the Sten was copied from in certain design areas. This was due to the British not having any design experience making SMG's, so they studied captured German MP38's pressed into service as the Lanchester (primarily used by the Royal Navy) in order to learn how to make one under wartime conditions. Thats also likely why (as mentioned) the Sten had a side mounted magazine because the German MP38/British Lanchester did too.

    The Sten jammed during the assassination of Heydrich, but he later died of wounds from a grenade his partner had. So, the Sten was probably one of the worst designs to copy, but when you need a lot of guns, reliability will always play second fiddle to quantity in the field.

    In fact, a little knowledge of history will tell you that when Chinese Norinco began producing the CQ series rifle, the international rights to Colt's M16 had already expired, and during the same period Bushmaster and Canada's Diemaco had unashamedly seized Colt's AR-15 production status. Another most important point is that in the 1980s, P.R.China and the United States were military allies and they jointly aided the Taliban in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet CCCP, the U.S. CIA paid P.R.China to copy all kinds of cheap free world weapons to aid the Taliban, which was the origin of the CQ rifle, so it is said that the CQ rifle was shamelessly copied by a group of history falsifiers as shamelessly as they modified the movie "Rambo III".

    My Galil 392 ARM is extremely accurate and of course 100% reliable. It is however extremely 'over-gassed', but can be cured with aftermarket parts. I do wish it had a different twist rate than its 1:12". My NORINCO 1911A1 is a very fine pistol. I can not recall a malfunction EVER; in fact it feeds empty cases and is very accurate with a great trigger. The steel is supposedly 5100 series, which is a better spec than any other maker of this pistol... Even has a fully chromed barrel/chamber and all parts are milled and forged. Good enough of a pistol that it is only one of three or four brands that Wilson will build upon. Will also add NORINCO 5.56 M193 ball ammo is very good. I ran it over a chronograph and its speed is on point, is clean and very effective. Cases reload well, but I do notice some variance in the extractor cut, but so far has been no big deal.

    My dad has a Romanian AK-47, full automatic (converted into a semi/full auto select fire pre ‘68), legally registered with the Department of the Treasury. He tested it out prior to having to store it outside of California in the late 1980s when anti-gun fever contaminated the state. It fires pretty well, even now when he tested it again in his new home state where it is legal.

    little note on the CQ311A (the civilian-sale variant of the CQ311): given the absurt ITAR export fees compounded to the already expensive Italian import fees for firearms, it was pretty common in Italy to buy a CQ311A and then buy aftermarket accessories like handguard, pistol grip, stock etc. to mock them up into an actual AR15. Mainly because you could buy a Norinco CQ for 300-400€, whereas even the cheapest PSA/Anderson AR would cost around 1500 to 3000€ due to the difficulty of procuring one.

    The MG-42 could achieve its high rate of fire because it incorporated ball bearings into its slide mechanism. The U.S. M-60 MG was a virtual copy of its design after the war, but it did not include the ball bearings, relying on more standard bushing designs for its operations. But the new Chinese fighter is said to be a near clone of our new F-17s, so it's good that we both get to play with our new toys in our own backyards.

    Old Chinese fighters (such as J-10, J-15 series) inherits the Russian MiGs and Sukhoi DNA. However the new stealth J-20 is a powerful domestically designed and built jet. Even though it looks like the F-22 Raptor, almost same specs as F-22, but that rumour of it being a copy of the Raptor is false. The J-20 was actually designed and planned to counter F-22 should the situation arise, therefore it has mostly almost-same specs as F-22. Take a look at Korea's new KF-21, it looks so much like the F-35 jets, and even though it has mostly the same specs as F-35 too, it is surely not a copy of F-35

    Well the Galil wasn't even based on the AK, since it was based on a rifle that was already an entirely separate gun that was only manufactured around the design of an AK... the RK62 is a much better gun compared to the AK47 it was copied and enhanced from. I've shot both (never shot a Galil though), and the Galil is even further from the AK. So it's definitely much more than a copy, even if the basic mechanisms and the silhouette are the same.

    Norinco reproductions are actually very good products: AR15 clones aside, their Winchester 1897 shotgun repro is very good. Historically speaking, the Chinese made MP18s are way more significant: they were used to fight the Japanese invasion, and the Japanese Army itself captured and used them because they pretty much lacked any officially adopted SMG (the Type 100 was extremely rare)
