The North Vietnamese KM-50M submachine gun

When Mao’s communist army gained control of China in 1950, the Soviet Union immediately began to supply them with arms and equippment. Among them were tens of thousands of surplus PPSh-41 submachine guns, the iconic Soviet submachine gun of World War II.

The Soviets also sent  manufacturing equipment and engineers to train the Chinese to produced their own weapons. In short time they were producing their own copy of the PPSh-41 called the Type 50. The Type 50 was an exact clone of the PPSh-41 with one exception; it was made to only accept 35 round box magazines, the lower capacity magazine being much more reliable than the 71 round drum magazine.

After the First Indochina War China began supplying North Vietnam with arms, among them thousands of Type 50 submachine guns. In 1958 North Vietnam began modification of their Type 50′s into a new weapon called the KM-50M.  The KM-50M featured two interesting modifications. First the wooden stock was removed and replaced with an adjustable steel wire stock as well as a pistol grip. The barrel was shortened and the cooling sleeve truncated to 3 inches. Finally the front sight was replaced with the front sight based upon the French MAT-49 submachine gun. Many North Vietnamese soldiers and Vietcong fighters were former Viet Minh who had fought the French during the First Indochina War, and thus were experienced with using captured MAT-49 SMG’s. The modifications made to the KM-50M resulted in a weapon weighing 7.5lbs, around 1.1lbs lighter than the original PPSh-41/Type 50.  Production ended in 1964 when North Vietnam received supplies of Soviet and Chinese AK’s and SKS rifles which generally replaced the use of submachine guns.

“Here two important points must be emphasized. The first, which has been stated before but should be repeated here, is the dependence of rational knowledge upon perceptual knowledge. Anyone who thinks that rational knowledge need not be derived from perceptual knowledge is an idealist. In the history of philosophy there is the “rationalist” school that admits the reality only of reason and not of experience, believing that reason alone is reliable while perceptual experience is not; this school errs by turning things upside down. The rational is reliable precisely because it has its source in sense perceptions, other wise it would be like water without a source, a tree without roots, subjective, self-engendered and unreliable. As to the sequence in the process of cognition, perceptual experience comes first; we stress the significance of social practice in the process of cognition precisely because social practice alone can give rise to human knowledge and it alone can start man on the acquisition of perceptual experience from the objective world. For a person who shuts his eyes, stops his ears and totally cuts himself off from the objective world there can be no such thing as knowledge. Knowledge begins with experience–this is the materialism of the theory of knowledge.”

— On Practice, Mao Tse-tung, 1937.
