The OG-44 is an Italian late-war submachine gun designed by one Giovanni Oliani at the Armaguerra factory in Cremona. It is a revision on Oliani’s earlier 1942 design, changed to use standard Beretta 38 magazines. Only 14 of these guns were made, and the quality of their manufacture is excellent. Unlike most late-war weapon designs, the OG-44 is quite well conceived, and could probably have been a real contender in the post-war arms market had the factory survived. It is a simple blowback open-bolt 9mm, with a large bolt mass telescoped forward like the Czech SA23 and Uzi. The stampings are well made, the controls refined, and the folding stock design well devised.
Thanks to Beretta for giving me access to this very rare example from their reference museum to show to film for you!

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com
At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
