Self-propelled rifle
Rifle self-propelled wz. 38M
Self-reliant rifle - a rifle with automatic reloading after firing, with a trigger for single-shot fire.
The rifle principle is usually based on the discharge of gunpowder gases through the lateral opening of the barrel, but there are also semi-free barrel construction or short barrel recoil (eg the Johnson Type R rifle). The first self-propelled rifles were constructed at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. These were not successful constructions, they were expensive and required careful handling. For these reasons they were not popular. It was not until before and during the Second World War that successful maneuvers were made (eg M1 Garand, SKS, Samozariadka, G41), but were quickly replaced by automatic rifles and carbines that could fire in series (FN FAL, AK). >
Currently, produced self-propelled rifles are the most commonly used rifles (SWDs) or civilian versions of automatic rifles that are not capable of firing in series. Bibliography
