The MAS-38 isn't chambered for .32 ACP. It (like every other French weapon from that time period) is chambered for a cartridge that only the French use: 7.65x20mm aka 7.65 longue aka .32 longue.

You're right. In retrospect I don't know where I got the idea that it was .32 ACP. Weird.

You're right, I should have included it.
I'm also missing the Sterling and the PPS, so it's in good company.

Nice job. One little remark though: the mas 38, like other pre ww2 french weapons is in 7.65 x20 caliber. It is the same bullet diameter as 32 acp but the cartridge case is 3mm longer and the powder charge a bit larger.

I like your series of cold war firearm illustrations a lot, they're accurate and your style has real character.
Are you going to draw any more on the subject? Any chance of a Sterling (L2A3) SMG?

Hmm, I didn't have a Sterling planned. Although I'm more immediately considering other categories of weapons, there are extra submachine guns planned: the MP-40, "MAT-49V" (VietCong variant in 7.62x25), PPS-43, and Walther MPL. Now that you mention the Sterling though, I can see that it would be a pretty valuable addition, considering its superiority over the Sten and its wide distribution during WW2 and postwar era. It'll be a good addition.

Ah the sub-machine gun. Once a pinnacle of weaponry used throughout World War II and during the Cold War, which its use has now been replaced by the Assault Rifle, Carbine and Bullpup. Though it still uses its purpose to this very day by special forces and police units worldwide, there was just something about the SMG that I found interesting. All of these guns have a uniqueness to them but if I had to pick one which I liked more than the others, it would have to be the Uzi 9mm. I do love the Thompson M1A1, the Uzi shows the absolute reliability a weapon needed to be, as it was designed to be used in a variety of conditions and locations whether it be the dry sandy desert, the icy cold tundra or in the humid muggy jungle. This gun could be used over and over again never failing you when you needed it to be.
Nice job working on these designs, the shadings and angles of them also work very nice in showing the full form of these guns rather than just a simple 2D picture. Keep up the great work.
