  • Błyskawica Submachine Gun

    What are the chances that any of these still exist outside of a museum.

    The Błyskawica (Polish for lightning), was a submachine gun produced by the Armia Krajowa, or Home Army, a Polish resistance movement fighting the Germans in occupied Poland. Together with a Polish version of the Sten sub-machine gun, with which it shares some design elements, it was the only weapon mass-produced covertly in occupied Europe during World War II.

    I have but one person on my ignore list. Can you guess who it is?

    Probably a number of them buried/hidden in the hills of Poland.
    I was bored shooting 50 bmg rifles so I bought a 20mm!

      Yes but they were gradually replaced by the PPs-43. The old clandestine workshop guns, if authenticated, are extremely valuable on the collector market, easily worth an AK or two in trade, even on the black market.
