Orita 1941: The Original Romanian Submachine Gun (Ad-free)
Added 2025-07-02 12:00:07 +0000 UTCThe Model 1941 Orita was Romania's first domestic submachine gun, but after World War Two the design was upgraded in many ways. The Model 41/48 improved the stock, sights, and controls - and virtually all of the guns underwent these changes. Original configuration 1941 examples are extremely rare today, so I made sure to take this opportunity to show you the one in the Springfield Armory NHS reference collection when I was there filming.
Thanks to the Springfield Armory National Historic Site for giving me access to this truly unique specimen from their reference collection to film for you! Don't miss the chance to visit the museum there if you have a day free in Springfield, Massachusetts: https://www.nps.gov/spar/index.htm
