TZ - 45 The TZ - 45 was an Italian made submachine gun produced in small numbers between 1944 and 1945 , with an estimated 6 , 000 made . History . The TZ - 45 submachine guns was designed by two Italian brothers , Tonon ( " Toni " ) and Zorzoli Giandoso , and was produced by their own small company . All the TZ 45 ' s were issued to R . S . I . ( Repubblica Sociale Italiana ) units fighting against Italian partisan forces during the civil war in Northern Italy ( 1944 – 45 ) , yet it is possible that a few of them ended up serving with Wehrmacht forces engaged in similar operations . After the war , the remaining guns were given to the military of the British and the American forces . It was then evaluated by them , but the general opinion was unfavorable . The gun was emerged from the war with a poor reputation for reliability and the style of the manufacture and finish was not liked . The projects and manufacturing rights for the gun were later sold to the Burmese army where it was manufactured as the BA - 52 and colloquially known as the " Ne Win STEN " . The Burmese copies were roughly manufactured and unreliable , but they remained in service into the mid - 1980s with their infantry and even into the early 1990s with support troops . Development . Compared to the FNAB - 43 , the TZ - 45 is much more the sort of weapon one would expect in that place and at that time . It was made out of metal stampings , welded together in parts , and the finish is rudimentary . For all that , it worked and managed to exhibit one or two interesting features . The action is simple blowback , but the return spring is assembled around a guide rod which is in two pieces and telescopes as the bolt returns . A muzzle compensator is fitted , and the shoulder stock is formed of steel rods that slide alongside the receiver when retracted . Two separate safety systems are fitted : the fire selector lever has a “ safe ” position that locks the bolt in either the forward or rearward positions , while a grip safety is fitted behind the magazine housing . Unless the weapon is held properly and this grip compressed , the bolt cannot move in either direction to cock or fire . Even with a closed bolt and a magazine inserted , the pin of the second safe wedged in a specially - designed notch in the lower center - left part of the bolt , preventing the bolt itself from rolling back in case of accidental shocks taken by the weapon . Considering that accidental discharge s were an all too common occurrence in contemporary submachine guns ( Sten gun and others ) , the double safety system of the TZ - 45 proved to be a breakthrough which would inspire many later submachine guns , starting from the Danish Madsen M50 .
