Do you think this gun is good?

I am talking about it's time not compared to today. Don't compare this gun with any other gun after 1939.

Also don't just say things like "This gun is garbage xD" or "I don't like guns and also I will start a war on the topic". Please give me some reason why you think this gun is good or not.

Some more extra info that you might miss in the wiki:

1937.

Year of development of designs and as I understood it in 1939 produced in forms of prototypes.

Didn't have any malfunctions, apparently which is important and had "a very advanced design for its time".

From the caliber, which is I think a pistol or 'submachine' round I think it was designed to serve well, in a time when they usually had bolt action rifles and or single shot type of weapons.

By well I mean to outperform the competition referenced back in that quote I noted before but I think that it would have had its disadvantages as any submachine has over a full automatic (assault) rifle but according to those years my estimate is that they came with it earlier than the Germans later had invented (stg 44) which was to some extent I believe a superior weapon perhaps due to the cartridge involved perhaps due to advanced engineering or perhaps the fact that it resembles a Kalashnikov so much but regardless to say.

Those were very interesting years for weapon development and yes, those years led to advancements and development of modern weapons more or less as we know them at least sub-categorically.

I asked if the gun is good. Not if it looks good.

Until Gun Jesus reviews this hunk of metal, I can't put an opinion on it.

It has a large round and a high rate of fire 720 rpm. It looks like a Thompson SMG but it is probably closer in performance to a BAR. I looked around there isnt any info on how well it performed. It looks like it had potential. The BAR weighs nearly 16 pounds a Thompson around 10 pounds and this Pyrkal 9.1 pounds. It sort of seems like the precursor to the assault rifle. I think they were on the right track.

Yeah it seems to have both a Thompson's and a Bar's stats while all their disadvantages cancel each other.

There's a channel on youtube, Forgotten Weapons that usually has a lot of good info on,,, well as the name of the channel implies. They don't have any info on this particular firearm but I'm sure if you sent them a message and asked them to do a video on it, they would eventually. They made one about the puckle gun about a month after I asked them to do a video on it. Doesn't mean they did it because I asked but it made me feel good.

They also talk about weird guns as well, and they did a whole series on the different guns featured in Red Dead.

This gun is twice as accurate than Thompson and carries different bullets and capacity.

Except a Tommy Gun won't cost you an arm and a leg.

lol? You do realise that the bullet is similar to the Ak-47 round? How would the recoil be that drastic? Lmao.

Wasn't talking about either of those things, but alright.
