The MAS-38 was a French submachine gun designed and built in the years just before the Second World War. It was used and adopted by French military forces in 1939 and when the Germans conquered France in 1940, they did as Germany always did, adopt and use the indigenous weapons built by the conquered country for use by their own military or occupational forces. MAS stands for Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne which means "Weapons industry of Saint-Étienne". St. Etienne was the arms maker for the majority of France's weapons in the 19th-20th centuries. The Submachine gun (chambered in the French 7.65mm) was in production between 1939-1946. It was actively used by French police forces until it was replaced by the MAT-49 submachine gun in 1950. The captured version of the MAS-38 used by German forces was called the 7.65 mm MP722(f) as the official German designation.
