Hotchkiss Universal SMG

[Big_E]

I was at the Fort Boise gun show today and the Full Auto Collector's table had a French Hotchkiss Universal SMG on display.

It really impressed me with it's folding stock and extending barrel. Reminds me of something kind of similar to some Kel-Tec features.

I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about these guns? I did find some info on them in the web but I was looking for more firsthand shooting experience.

They also had some cool other firearms on display like a P90, Grease Gun and some MP5's.

I put together a short video on them not too long ago:

Really cool, IMO.

Thanks Ian that's really cool.

Despite all the cool features, I'd rather have a M3 Grease Gun. If it weren't so complex to make and maintain I'm sure these would have been a little more popular.
