The '''MAT-49''' is a [[submachine gun]] which was developed by the French arms factory [[Manufacture Nationale d'Armes de Tulle]] (MAT) for use by the [[French Army]]. It was first produced in 1949 and remained in French service until it was phased out following the adoption of the [[FAMAS]] [[assault rifle]] in 1979.
