👉 The Newark weapon, also known as the "Newark M-1917" or "Newark Submachine Gun," is a compact, semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured in Newark, New Jersey. It features a unique design with a detachable barrel and a distinctive, curved stock that provides enhanced grip. The weapon uses the.45 ACP cartridge and was developed in the early 20th century, primarily for military use but also popular among civilian enthusiasts. Its compact size and ease of concealment made it a favorite for covert operations and hunting, though its limited capacity and slower rate of fire compared to modern pistols have led to a decline in its popularity over time.
