The M50 Reising submachine gun went in to production in 1941, and was made by Harrington & Richardson Arms Company (H&R). Designed by Eugene Reising, the M50 is a .45 Cal submachine gun using a delayed blowback action with a rate of fire of 550 rounds per minute and used a 12 or 20 round detachable magazine. With the United States entry into WWII, it was in need of more SMGs and the M50 was adopted by the US Navy, Marine Core, and Coast Guard. Poor reliability in the jungles of the Pacific theater garnered numerus complaints from users and the M50 was withdrawn from combat units in 1943, and relegated to Stateside service.
