It would be more correct to say that the breech of the machine gun is unlocked, i.e. the function is based on the dynamic principle, it is useless to invent your own rather meaningless names. The "principle" is not the slide (this principle is sometimes used in unlocking a locked breech) but the recoil (as stated in the text above). the delay required for the round to leave the barrel before the breech opens was solved by the mass of the same. Another somewhat nonsensical formulation is that a 32 round magazine was "sometimes" used. In real life, the use of a 32-round magazine was more common than the use of the shorter 25-round magazine, which was more of an exception. Both were commonly filled with one less round, 31 and 24 rounds respectively. These were double-rowed magazines with single-walled ejection ports, which were inserted into the gun from below and were inserted unusually deep (65 mm ) in the chamber, ensuring trouble-free feeding of the ammunition as the magazine did not deflect due to external pressures. The weapon was commissioned in 1941, hence the year in its name, but by 1943 production and delivery to the army was underway (commissioning and delivery are two quite different things) The major problem with the weapon was its price (similar to the ZK 383) so shortly after the war it was replaced in production by the much simpler AK-47 assault rifle. However, the weapon continued to serve in the army and was transferred to paramilitary organizations until the late 1950s, where it served until at least the 1970s. The high quality of production places the Orita among the Suomi, ZK383 and similar pre-war types. The "Modificat 48" version is quite different, for example it has a safety on the neck of the stock and overall it differs from the original weapon (the stock is different some parts are molded...)
