try reported that the new MS was
more accurate and easier to control
than the standard submachine gun.
Its lighter weight and collapsible
stock appealed to the parachute
troops. Amphibious troops found
rain, salt spray, and even complete
immersion in sea water had little
effect on its reliability. Both the
armored force and the tank destroy
er command commended its rugged
construction and its resistance to
dirt and dust.
The first deliveries Of the new
weapon were made last April. The
guns cost less than $40, compared
with $40 for former types.

The vessels have an overall length
