The wz.38M, designed by Józef Maroszek, was the winner of Poland’s 1934 self-loading rifle trials. Production began in 1938, but only about 150 examples had been produced when Germany invaded and production was halted (the Germans decided not to continue production). Mass production would have been done at the Radom factory, but it appears this was never begun. Only 7 examples are known to survive to this day.
Mechanically, the rifle uses a tilting bolt system reminiscent of the BAR, with a gas tube and pistol located below the barrel. It was equipped with a internal 10-round magazine, like many contemporary rifle designs it was either reloaded with stripper clips or individual rounds. There is a safety selector above the trigger on the right side (safe/fire only, no full auto capability), and the rear leaf sight is graduated from 300m out to 2000m.
Perfomance of this gun is similar to one of the M1 Garand. It can be found only on Eastern Blitz map in one of the spawnable kits, though it historicaly inaccurate since this rifle was produced in low numbers. It also uses the same animations as the SVT 40 where the magazine is detached which is not possible with this rifle which is also the case with the Type 4 rifle. The rifle could mount the same bayonet as the Kbk wz.29 but in FHSW no bayonet can be mounted.
