Interesting footage - Mp-40 looks like an early one, as does the OWEN.. Operator does not look terribly familiar with them, and under a fair amount of stress, ( folks watching) as he seems a bit "hamfisted" in handling and mag changes.

Thanks for posting the video,,,

 

I noticed the first shooter, and one of the last shooters had in ear plugs. That's not something I've seen in other photos/videos of the era.

I was wondering if the earplugs were worn for protection from the sound or sand?

I do think the tests are a little biased towards the Owen, the STEN and MP40 are better than that. I suspect Ammo may have had a hand in the results and boy did he have trouble changing mags on the Owen. Edited by m3bobby
