The article "FMK-3 Submachine Gun — Argentina's Uzi?" by Peter Suciu, published on The Armory Life, explores the history and technical features of the Argentine FMK-3 submachine gun. Initially developed to replace older submachine guns like the P.A.M 1 and P.A.M 2 during the early 1970s, the FMK-3 saw its first significant use during Argentina’s "Dirty War" and later in the 1982 Falklands War. The article details the weapon’s design, influenced by Israeli and Czechoslovak models, its operational mechanics, and its comparison to other contemporary firearms like the Uzi and the British Sterling submachine gun. Produced from 1975 until 1993 with around 85,000 units, the FMK-3 remains in use today primarily within Argentine and other South American law enforcement and military units. The piece also touches on the limited appearances of the FMK-3 in popular culture and its ongoing legacy in the region.

A message to all of my fellow Americans:

Hey guys… I don’t typically talk about this kind of stuff online- However, us as a community need to support each other right now, so here is my two cents on things that we can do to prepare ourselves.

Save your fanfiction!

Whether it be your own or from one of your favorite authors online- download it. I have a feeling that places like Wattpad and AO3 will be targeted. If you have the funds I recommend purchasing an external hard drive. They can hook up to your phone, tablets, consoles, and pcs. They’re compact and portable. If you’re unsure what storage capacity to choose I suggest 2 terabytes- which is reasonable in price, and with the holidays coming up- keep an eye out on sales! Most places that sell them typically mark them down.

Protect yourselves.

This isn’t only to people with uteruses, please if you’re able, get some form of protection that aligns with your personal views.

Some options (please check what’s legal for you to carry in your state)

Pepper Spray

Self Defense Classes

Firearms

Tasers

Personal Alarms

Self defense keychains

Buying contraceptives. 

If you have a uterus you might have a hard time getting contraception, whether that be refilling your birth control or over the counter medication. If you have the funds, consider buying Plan B- which has a shelf life of 4 years.

Check on your friends.

A lot of negative emotions are swarming around and we need to be there for each other. Stay close with your loved ones, if you need to- REACH OUT FOR HELP. Please don’t suffer alone.

The article, written by Alan M. Rice for The Armory Life, discusses the Springfield Armory Hellion, a bullpup rifle touted for vehicle defense due to its compact design and ease of use in confined spaces. Rice highlights the Hellion's advantages over standard AR-style rifles, noting its shorter length even with a full-length barrel, which ensures optimal ammunition performance without requiring the paperwork of a short-barreled rifle (SBR). The article emphasizes the benefits of carrying a rifle like the Hellion for personal safety, outlining its increased stopping power and longer-range accuracy compared to a pistol. Additionally, it recommends practical accessories such as a Vertx VTAC rifle scabbard for discreet transport, a Nightforce Optics scope for enhanced target identification, and Hornady Critical Defense ammunition for self-defense. The article stresses the importance of understanding local laws, having a well-thought-out safety plan, and the necessity of carrying emergency medical supplies alongside a firearm.

• M50 Reising Submachine Gun

The .45 Reising submachine gun was manufactured by Harrington & Richardson (H&R) Arms Company in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA, and was designed and patented by Eugene Reising in 1940. The three versions of the weapon were the Model 50, the folding stock Model 55, and the semiautomatic Model 60 rifle. Over 100,000 Reisings were ordered during World War II, and were initially used by the United States, though some were shipped to Canadian, Soviet, and other allied forces.

Reising was an assistant to firearm inventor John M. Browning. In this role, Reising contributed to the final design of the US .45 ACP M1911 pistol. Reising then designed a number of commercial rifles and pistols on his own, when in 1938, he turned his attention to designing a submachine gun as threats of war rapidly grew in Europe. Two years later he submitted his completed design to the Harrington & Richardson Arms Company (H&R) in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was accepted, and in March 1941, H&R started manufacturing the Model 50 submachine gun. H&R promoted the submachine guns for police and military use, and the Model 60 for security guards. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 the US was suddenly in desperate need of thousands of modern automatic weapons. Reising's only competitor was the .45 ACP Thompson submachine gun. The US Army first tested the Reising in November 1941 at Fort Benning, Georgia. During this test, several parts failed due to poor construction. Once this was corrected, a second test was made in 1942 at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. In that test, 3,500 rounds were fired, resulting in two malfunctions: one from the ammunition, the other from a bolt malfunction. As a result, the Army didn't adopt the Reising, but the Navy and Marines did, due to insufficient supply of Thompsons.

The Reising submachine gun was innovative for its time. In comparison to its main rival, the famous Thompson, it possessed similar firepower, better accuracy, excellent balance, a lighter weight, a much lower cost, and greater ease of manufacture. Despite these achievements, the poor combat performance of the Reising contrasted with favorable combat and law enforcement use of the Thompson mired the weapon in controversy. The Reising was far less costly ($62) compared to the Thompson ($200). It was much lighter (seven vs. eleven pounds). The Model 55 was also more compact (about twenty-two vs. thirty-three inches in length). The M50 Reising's delayed blowback operation, often classified as hesitation lock, works as follows: as the cartridge is chambered, the rear end of the bolt is pushed up into a recess, in a manner similar to tilting-bolt locked breech guns; but whereas such weapons rely on an additional mechanism to unlock them, in the case of the Reising the end of the bolt that pushes against the back wall of this recess, is subtly rounded, while the wall is correspondingly curved. On firing, the extreme pressure from the propellant gases is thereby able to force the bolt-end down, back to the horizontal. From here the bolt can move to the rear removing the cartridge from the chamber; but the combination of mechanical disadvantage and friction the force of the gases must overcome to push the end of the bolt down has achieved a delay of a fraction of a second, allowing pressure in the barrel to drop to a level sufficiently low for safe and efficient cartridge extraction. The Reising was made in selective fire versions that could be switched between semi-automatic or full-automatic fire as needed and in semi-auto only versions to be used for marksmanship training and police and guard use. The Reising had a designed full-auto cyclic rate of 450–600 rounds per minute but it was reported that the true full-auto rate was closer to 750–850 rounds per minute.

The U.S. Marines adopted the Reising in 1941 with 4,200 authorized per division with approximately 500 authorized per each infantry regiment. Most Reisings were originally issued to Marine officers and NCOs in lieu of a compact and light carbine, since the newly introduced M1 carbine was not yet being issued to the Marines. Although the Thompson submachine gun was available, this weapon frequently proved too heavy and bulky for jungle patrols, and initially it, too, was in short supply. During World War II, the Reising first saw action on August 7th, 1942, exactly eight months to the day after Pearl Harbor, when 11,000 men from the 1st Marine Division stormed the beaches of Guadalcanal, in the Solomon Islands. The same date of Guadalcanal's invasion, the Model 50 and 55 saw action with the 1st Marine Raiders on the small outlying islands of Tulagi and Tanambogo to the north. Serious shortcomings in both guns were becoming apparent. The reality was that the Reising was designed as a civilian police weapon and was not suited to the stresses of harsh battle conditions encountered in the Solomon Islands—namely, sand, saltwater that easily rusted the commercial blued finish, and the difficulty in keeping the weapon clean enough to function properly. Tests at Aberdeen Proving Ground and at Fort Benning, Georgia, had found difficulties in blindfold reassembly of the Reising, indicating the design was complicated and difficult to maintain. The producer, H&R, had not yet mastered mass-production technologies in 1940-1941, and many of the parts were hand fitted at the factory just like the company did with their commercial firearms. While more accurate than the Thompson, particularly in semi-automatic mode, the Reising had a tendency to jam. The Reising earned a dismal reputation for reliability in the combat conditions of Guadalcanal. The M1 carbine eventually became available and was often chosen over both the Reising and the Thompson in the wet tropical conditions.

In late 1943 following numerous complaints, the Reising was withdrawn from Fleet Marine Force (FMF) units and assigned to Stateside guard detachments and ship detachments. After the Marines proved reluctant to accept more Reisings, and with the increased issue of the .30-caliber M1 carbine, the U.S. government passed some Reising submachine guns to the OSS and to various foreign governments (as Lend-Lease aid). Both the Soviets and Canada purchased some Model 50 SMGs, others were given to various anti-Axis resistance forces operating around the world. Many Reisings (particularly the semiautomatic M60 rifle) were issued to State Guards for guarding war plants, bridges, and other strategic resources. After the war, thousands of Reising Model 50 submachine guns were acquired by state, county, and local U.S. law enforcement agencies. The weapon proved much more successful in this role, in contrast to its wartime reputation. Production of the Model 50 and 55 submachine guns ceased in 1945 at the end of World War II. Nearly 120,000 submachine guns were made of which two-thirds went to the Marines. H&R continued production of the Model 60 semiautomatic rifle in hopes of domestic sales, but with little demand, production of the Model 60 stopped in 1949 with over 3,000 manufactured. H&R sold their remaining inventory of submachine guns to police and correctional agencies across America. Decades later, in 1986, H&R closed their doors and Numrich Arms (aka Gun Parts Corporation) purchased their entire inventory.

The intimidating figure strides by the closet, casting a long shadow that slowly fades. With each step he takes away, you let out a silent, held breath, the noise dampened by the enclosure of your hiding spot. The atmosphere within the closet is oppressive, but the sense of ease from his exit eases the previous tension. However, the lasting dread keeps you keenly conscious of the delicate line between secrecy and exposure in this perilous moment.

With bated breath, you pause for a few precious seconds, straining your senses to detect any lingering threat. The air hangs heavy with tension as you ensure that the room has succumbed to an eerie silence. Satisfied, you carefully step out of your hiding place, your movements deliberate and hushed. The room now bears the scars of intrusion, and you navigate its altered landscape cautiously, wary of any remnants of the recent disturbance that might still linger in the shadows.

You sighed and tried to calm your nerves, but an unexpected force violently seizes you with massive hands, shattering the illusion of security. Startled, you find yourself abruptly face-to-face with the imposing man. His eyes, filled with a menacing glare, bore into yours, the intensity of his gaze sending a chill down your spine as he loomed over you.

You heard a sharp click as the man swiftly and efficiently secures handcuffs around your wrists, leaving you restrained and powerless. Without hesitation, he seizes some of your meticulously crafted blueprints, a tangible piece of your intellectual arsenal. In an unwavering display of strength, he drags you along, each step echoing with the harsh reality of captivity. Desperate to resist, you dig your heels into the ground, attempting to anchor yourself against his forceful pull. Yet, your attempts prove futile as he persists, dragging you with a roughness that amplifies the helplessness of your situation.

Reaching the main door of the base, the man swiftly brandishes his gun, its cold metal pressed against your head. A wave of dread washes over you as the gun's muzzle meets your temple. In the stark silence that follows, the ominous weight of the firearm against your head becomes an unbearable presence. Before you can comprehend the gravity of the situation, the world fades into darkness as an unseen force meets your head, and consciousness slips away in a disorienting blur, leaving you ensnared in the clutches of unconsciousness.

As you awaken to a pulsating ache in your head, you discover yourself in a compact, poorly illuminated room. The minimalistic furniture provides scant solace, with a petite metal bed taking up most of the room, its slender mattress providing only modest relief. Gradually becoming more aware, you discern something disquieting—a chain links you to another chain on the floor, significantly limiting your movements and your liberty.

The door creaks open, and a chilling presence fills the room as the man strides in. His tall frame, towering well over 6 feet, dominates the limited space, casting a formidable shadow. Each thud of his massive boots reverberates through the air, creating an aura of menace. The man's physique is an intimidating spectacle — broad shoulders, a chest like an armored fortress, and his muscles ripple beneath the fabric of his uniform, a testament to raw power.

The hood obscures much of his face, leaving only a hint of his strong jawline and a pair of piercing, ice-cold eyes that gleam with an unsettling determination. As he bends down slightly to meet your level, the dim light casts eerie shadows across his features, emphasizing the formidable figure he cuts.

The man grabs a chair and positions it in front of you, his massive frame making the furniture seem inconsequential. As he settles into the seat, the chair creaks under the weight of his imposing stature. It becomes immediately apparent that even the furniture struggles to accommodate the sheer size and strength of this formidable figure. The ominous silence hangs thick in the air as the man, too big for the chair, fixes his piercing gaze upon you, his presence suffocating and radiating an unsettling dominance in the cold and confined room.

He pulls out a set of blueprints from his pocket and, with a commanding gesture, indicates your logo emblazoned on the corner of the design. "This belongs to you... Ja?" he declares, his voice exuding a commanding authority that allows for no dispute.

Maintaining a stoic silence, you resist the urge to speak as the man scrutinizes your reaction. Unfazed, he snaps his fingers in your face, forcibly regaining your attention. Hesitantly, you nod in acknowledgment, your compliance met with a subtle but ominous smile from the man. The weight of the situation presses down on you as the cold atmosphere intensifies, leaving you uncertain about the ominous path that lies ahead.

"Good... these weapons... very good," he remarks, his tone acknowledging the formidable capabilities of your creations. The man shifts in his seat, a certain satisfaction lingering in the air. However, the mood darkens as he continues, "It's killed hundreds of my men..." The weight of his words hangs heavily in the room, underscoring the gravity of your involvement in a lethal conflict. The cold and eerie atmosphere seems to tighten, leaving you entangled in a web of ominous consequences spun by your own ingenuity.

"You work for SpecGru?" he questions, the hood casting a shadow over his scrutinizing gaze. Without uttering a word, you nod hesitantly, confirming your affiliation. The acknowledgment seems to satisfy the man, and the air in the room remains charged with an unspoken tension.

"Are you sure?" he questions again, a subtle menace underlying his words. Without waiting for an answer, he takes out a gun and holds it to your head, the cold metal pressing against your temple. The room seems to shrink as the weight of the firearm amplifies the gravity of the situation. A palpable silence envelopes the space, leaving you at the mercy of the man's unpredictable intentions, caught in the chilling crossroads between compliance and defiance.

You shake your head in response to his query, a silent plea for mercy. In the dim light, you catch a glimpse of his eyes curving into a sinister smile once again. The tension in the room remains thick, a palpable force that tightens around you. The cold reality of your predicament settles in as you navigate the precarious dance with the man who holds both your fate and a lethal weapon in his hands.

He takes your hand roughly, a gesture that feels more like a grip than a handshake. With a firm shake, he declares,

"Welcome to KorTac."

The words hang in the air, the weight of their implications lingering. The cold, ominous atmosphere persists, and you find yourself reluctantly ushered into a world fraught with uncertainty and danger as a reluctant member of this organization.

anyway if you can safely procure and learn how to use a firearm (preferably a compact one, like a handgun) i would recommend doing so.

"So, you're saying it's still alive in there?"

"That's the theory, anyway. I believe the purpose of the patron firearm system is to provide reinforcement of the Law. But I feel that there is no point in seeking it out at this stage, at least not for me."

"Ezell..."

"There's only one way to be sure." Gesturing across the table, the Sankta gestures at the disassembled shotgun, kindly smiling towards the Doctor. "Now, which part of the firearm contains the fragment of God?"

_ _ _

The empty laboratory clicks open with barely a hiss, thanks to the clever use of a magnet at the top and bottom. It's stupid, you know? All of this technology for monitoring these top secret projects defeated with something a child has decent odds of keeping around as a curiosity. W chuckles to herself as she quickly shuts the door behind her, slipping in. A handheld light clicks on as she surveys the room. Her eyes widen.

*Well, well*, she thinks. *Guess I'll be adding this to my collection next.*

Reaching across the table, she starts to reassemble the firearm beginning with its smallest pieces. But as she moves to affix the firing pin, a curious thought strikes her as though from afar-

*YOU'LL DO.*

There's an explosion like the report of a firearm, and then nothing.

- - -

She comes to some time later, the mist of the fire suppression system making her vision hazy. Of course it's that damn Doctor in their stupid idiot mask. Must've been some kind of intruder countermeasure. She squints against the light, eyes trying to adjust. "Ugh... could you shut that damn thing off? It's getting in my eyes."

The Doctor gives a look of concern, brow furrowing detectable even through the darkness of their mask. "...no," they say, carefully and diplomatically.

"I get it, okay? I'm in the damn doghouse. Just shut that thing off or at LEAST turn it down."

The Doctor pulls out a compact mirror, flipping it open with one hand, and shows W her own reflection. She squints against the glare a moment before her eyes widen.

The lights are not on in this room. The only source of illumination is coming from just above W's brow, with more behind her splaying out. She flexes her shoulder back as she grabs the compact in wonderment and shock, and she sees the wing behind flex also, it's fragmentary components splaying out like fingers widening from a fist.

"Uh oh."
