MAT-49

thumb|right|400px|MAT-49 Submachine Gun - 9x19mm
The MAT-49 is a French submachine gun that was originally produced by Manufacture Nationale d'Armes de Tulle (MAT). The MAT-49 began production in 1949 after a series of trials for a new submachine gun to replace the MAS-38. The MAT-49 was chosen in part for its simple design and cost-effective stamped metal construction, allowing for rapid, economic production of a large amount of guns that the French military desperately needed. The MAT-49 also includes two design features unusual for a submachine gun: the ability for the magazine well to fold up and a grip safety, a feature more common to handguns. 
The MAT-49 was used extensively by the French military during their military ventures of the early Cold War period, such as the First Indochina War and the Algerian War. It was well-liked in service owing to its compactness, ease of use, and reliability. Following the French withdrawal from Vietnam, captured MAT-49s were converted to 7.62×25mm Tokarev by North Vietnamese forces and used by the People's Army of Vietnam and Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. 
Production of the MAT-49 was taken over by Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Étienne plant (MAS) in the 1960s and production ceased in 1979, when the FAMAS assault rifle was adopted and filled the niche previously occupied by the MAT-49.
