Manufactured by High Standard Firearms and Marlin Firearms , about 15 , 000 were produced in the last three years of World War II . Only six . 45 ACP prototype test guns were made . The weapon holds 20 9mm rounds in its magazine , and can fire them at 700 rounds per minute . Frequently two 20 round magazines were welded face - to - face allowing a quick reload when the first became empty ( see illustration ) . The weapon itself weighs ( empty ) , with a length of . The barrel length is , and it has six - groove right - hand rifling . An extremely simple design , it was a straight blowback , selective fire weapon . It was built under " hurry - up " war conditions and some of its design flaws stem from this approach . Problems with the weapon were varied . Under combat conditions it was found that the sheet metal magazines had a tendency to warp out of shape causing feeding problems . They had little tolerance for exposure to large amounts of mud and sand and tended to jam if not cleaned regularly . The gun was also labor intensive to produce . It used all machined parts , no stampings , and under wartime conditions machine work is at a premium . The M42 submachine gun was classified as a substitute standard when the M3 submachine gun was introduced . Operational use . Intended for use by U . S . troops at the time of its design , it found more favor being air - dropped to partisan forces in occupied Europe .

JDS Izumo ( DDH - 183 ) JDS " Izumo " ( DDH - 183 ) is a helicopter carrier ( officially classified by Japan as a helicopter destroyer ) and the lead ship in the " Izumo " class of the Japan Maritime Self - Defense Force . It is the second warship to be named for Izumo Province , with the previous ship being the armored cruiser " Izumo " ( 1898 ) . Though designed to carry up to 14 helicopters , critics including China argue it could be modified to be used as a more conventional aircraft carrier . Because of constitutional restrictions , Japan ' s military forces are forbidden from possession of offensive weapons . However given the transparency of the MSDF , the lengthy preparations to build up an operational carrier borne jet fighter force would be known for years before this could be realized . For example China is currently launching and landing jet fighters on a carrier , but is expected to take several years to reach an operational capability . The ship was laid down on 27 January 2012 and launched on 6 August 2013 . The ship is the largest Japanese naval vessel since World War II .

Second War of the Diadochi The Second War of the Diadochi is the conflict between Polyperchon and Cassander , following the death of Cassander ' s father , Antipater . Background . The unexpected death of Alexander the Great left his newly created and vast empire without a clear successor . This lack of an arrangement for succession eventually led to war between his top generals , the Diadochi . In a series of shifting alliances they proceeded to carve out kingdoms and independent empires from Alexander ' s conquests . Following the first conflict , Antipater became the de facto ruler of Alexander ' s European territories , while Antigonus gained a similar position in Asia . However , when Antipater died , he left his domain in the hands of his lieutenant , Polyperchon , as opposed to his son Cassander . Cassander , however , had the support of Antigonus , and Ptolemy ( the current ruler of Egypt , " See Ptolemaic Dynasty " ) , while Polyperchon was supported by Eumenes , Alexander ' s former secretary , who was then the ruler of Cappadocia . The War . Cassander gained an early advantage in the war , and was able to force Polyperchon to retreat to Epirus with the infant King Alexander IV . However , from here he joined forces with Alexander ' s mother Olympias and was able to re - invade Macedon . King Philip Arrhidaeus , Alexander ' s half - brother , having defected to Cassander ' s side at the prompting of his wife , Eurydice , was forced to flee , only to be captured in Amphipolis , resulting in the execution of himself and the forced suicide of his wife , both purportedly at the instigation of Olympias . However , Cassander rallied once more , and was able to take control of Macedon . In doing so , Olympias was killed , and Cassander was able to gain control of the infant King and his mother . In Asia , at the battles of Paraitacene and Gabiene , Eumenes was defeated by Antigonus , allowing Antigonus to control the Asian territories once more . Aftermath . The war had shifted the balance of power to such a degree that Antigonus could pose a threat to any of the other Diadochi , leading to Cassander , Ptolemy and Lysimachus allying against him in the Third War of the Diadochi . The territories now controlled by Antigonus would later form the basis of the Seleucid Empire .
