The Gevarm D4 is presented as an economical alternative to the French MAT-49 submachine gun, developed in 1956. Key differences from the D3 model include a solid wooden stock. It operates via a simple open-bolt, blowback action and features a proprietary 32-round magazine in 9mm Parabellum. Despite a 1% malfunction rate in military testing, it saw adoption by French security forces.
The MAS Type 62 was France's domestic contender for a NATO-standard rifle in the early 1960s, heavily influenced by the FN FAL but with unique French design elements. It featured a striker-fired mechanism, a novel compound spring system, and retained rifle grenade launching capabilities. Despite its advanced design, France ultimately did not adopt it, prioritizing other military programs.
