This guide details the field stripping procedure for the Arsenal Tallinn SMG, an obscure submachine gun from interwar Estonia. The process involves opening the receiver, removing the bolt and recoil spring assembly, and then disassembling the firing pin. The design shares similarities with the German MP18.

This video by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons breaks down the evolution of the submachine gun into three distinct generations. It covers early WWI designs focused on quality, WWII mass-produced weapons emphasizing expediency, and modern SMGs prioritizing accuracy and modularity. McCollum's deep historical and technical knowledge provides a comprehensive overview of SMG development over the last century.
