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 MAT 49-54 Police submachine gun is a specialized variant of the French MAT 49, developed for the Paris Police in 1954. Key modifications include a fixed wooden stock, a significantly longer barrel (365mm vs. 230mm), and a unique dual-trigger system allowing both semi-automatic and full-automatic fire. This police variant prioritized accuracy and controlled fire over the extreme compactness of the original military paratrooper model.

This review details a rare post-WWII MAS 38 submachine gun variant modified for the Paris Police. Key differences include a collapsing wire stock, a folding magazine well for compact storage, and a selector for semi-automatic and full-automatic fire, unlike the standard military version. These modifications enhanced its utility for police use, particularly in vehicles.
