This review of the Vigneron M2 submachine gun by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons highlights its rarity in the US and compares it to the British Sten gun. McCollum provides insights into its ergonomics, grip safety, firing characteristics, and magazine compatibility. He concludes the Vigneron M2 offers superior sights and control over the Sten, despite some awkwardness in its design.

The Giandoso TZ45, a 1944 Italian submachine gun, is compared to the British Sten gun. While both are blowback-operated, the TZ45 features a more advanced grip safety that prevents accidental discharge by requiring a firm grip to cycle the bolt. Approximately 6,000 TZ45s were produced in Italy, with the design later copied in Burma as the BA-52.
