The CEAM Modèle 1950

Dear Steemains,

   ..                          The CEAM Modèle 1950              ..

The CEAM Modèle 1950 turned into a prototype attack rifle chambered inside the .30 Carbine spherical. It turned into advanced by means of Centre d'Etudes et d'Armement de Mulhouse (CEAM) of France at some stage in the overdue Forties/early 1950s, as a improvement of the German StG 45(M) attack rifle. The three preliminary prototypes, precise Modèle 1, were chambered in 7.92×33mm Kurz, 7.65×35mm (an experimental French cartridges advanced via Cartoucherie de Valence), and .30 Carbine. All succeeding prototypes (Modèle 1949, Modèle II, and the definitive Modèle 1950) had been chambered in .30 Carbine. All versions of the layout protected a combined bipod/handguard and a folding buttstock.[1] due to economic considerations, with France fighting the Indochina war and being the second one largest NATO contributor, the weapon became cancelled. Co-dressmaker Ludwig Vorgrimler then left for Spain, wherein he similarly developed the concept into the CETME rifle, which in flip turned into advanced into the Heckler & Koch G3.
