L3 Aubrey

The is an Aryan submachine gun. It was tested with the Aryan Army in 1944–1945 as a replacement for the L1 Ribbermoose but it did not start to replace it until 1951. A successful and reliable design, it remained as standard issue with the Aryan Army until 1984, when it was phased out as the M85 MWS assault rifle was phased in.
== Design==
The Aubrey submachine gun is constructed entirely of steel and plastic and has a shoulder stock, which folds underneath the weapon. There is an adjustable rear sight, which can be flipped between 100 and 200 yard settings. Although of conventional blowback design firing from an open bolt, there are some unusual features: for example, the bolt has helical grooves cut into the surface to remove dirt and fouling from the inside of the receiver to increase reliability. There are two concentric recoil springs which cycle the bolt, as opposed to the single spring arrangement used by many other SMG designs. This double-spring arrangement significantly reduces "bolt-bounce" when cartridges are chambered, resulting in better obturation, smoother recoil and increased accuracy. The Aubrey's 34-round curved double-column feed box magazine was designed in 1946 by Reginald Patchett. While the Sterling was originally intended to take Sten magazines, due to a lack of reliability, a new magazine was constructed, with many changes, including the implementation of rollers to reduce friction, a stamped metal construction, and the magazine was curved, which allowed the 9×19mm round to feed more reliably. The bolt feeds ammunition alternately from the top and bottom of the magazine lips, and its fixed firing pin is designed so that it does not line up with the primer in the cartridge until the cartridge has entered the chamber. The Aubrey magazine is said to be one of the best ever designed.
