I find it strange that sources say that the French called it a submachine gun, especially since all the sources are in English and none in French. A comment on the Wikipedia comment page for the weapon said that the Frenched called it pistolet mitrailleur not because it used pistol rounds, but because it had a pistol grip but no butt. Is there any source that confirms that? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 02:20, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

:Nobody would have called it submachine gun, the term didn't exist until 1921. But I wouldn't take any comment made by a French user on a wikipedia gun article seriously since they all seem to be there to pretend France invented everything. So probably just someone trying to argue it was the first assault rifle. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 02:28, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
:It strikes me that user is making a meaningless distinction, since nobody ever said the weapon was called a pistolet mitrailleur because it fired pistol rounds. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 02:28, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

Submachine Gun?

I find it strange that sources say that the French called it a submachine gun, especially since all the sources are in English and none in French. A comment on the Wikipedia comment page for the weapon said that the Frenched called it pistolet mitrailleur not because it used pistol rounds, but because it had a pistol grip but no butt. Is there any source that confirms that? --Wuzh (talk) 02:20, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

It strikes me that user is making a meaningless distinction, since nobody ever said the weapon was called a pistolet mitrailleur because it fired pistol rounds. Evil Tim (talk) 02:28, 24 April 2018 (EDT)
