The Delacre Modèle 1936 was a French concept arm gun designed by Henri Delacre.
History[]
The Delacre was patented in December 1936. It is not known whether a prototype was actually constructed.
Design[]
The Delacre was an early bullpup pattern submachine gun designed to be fired from the user's forearm. The magazine featured a circular latch that fitted around the user's wrist, so as to steady their aim and reduce the recoil. The trigger group was similar to that of the FM 24/29.
