In this fascinating episode, we were honored to have Mr. Yousef Riazi back on our podcast and this time to tell us more about the history of the development of Iranian Submachineguns that proliferated throughout the Middle East due to the ongoing conflicts in which Iran plays a major role in.

From the very first foreign SMGs that entered Persia to Iranian Uzis and more!
