Submachine gun SerLea ACE, Lebanon / USA

Increasing the firepower of small arms is possible by several methods. It’s one of the most popular and common - an increase in the rate of fire. A radical option to increase the rate of fire is the use of multilateral systems, for example, a rotating block of barrels or the so-called. Gast schemes. At the same time, multi-barreled systems have gained extremely limited distribution in the field of small arms, and few samples of this class are often considered technical curiosities. One of such projects was created as a result of cooperation between Lebanese and American specialists.

The design of the SerLea ACE submachine gun was created in the very late eighties. According to reports, the development of new weapons engaged in a few gunsmith engineers from Lebanon. Submachine gun was supposed to offer the Lebanese intelligence agencies. However, for a number of reasons, the authors of the SerLea ACE project were forced to move to the United States and continue to work in collaboration with their American colleagues. Unfortunately, very little is known about the SerLea ACE project. For this reason, for example, even the names of the designers who proposed the original weapon remain unknown.

The new submachine gun was created taking into account the use in police special forces that require a compact high-speed weapon for a pistol cartridge suitable for use in battles in the city or inside buildings. For ammunition for SerLea ACE was selected cartridge 9x19 mm Parabellum. The compactness of the weapon was supposed to ensure by reducing the size. The last task - high rate of fire - was planned to be solved in an interesting and non-standard way.

The appearance of the SerLea ACE submachine gun fully reveals the idea behind it. The authors of the project decided to increase the rate of fire of the weapon in the most obvious, though not very common way: they equipped it with two barrels and two bolts. In fact, the SerLea ACE was a two submachine gun chambered for 9x19 mm, interconnected in several parts and having a common firing mechanism.

The main part of the SerLea ACE submachine gun is a sophisticated receiver. It consisted of two hollow prisms, connected by several bridges. In the back of the weapon, the jumper had a complex shape, since it contained the details of the firing mechanism. In order to simplify the design, both halves of the receiver were not equipped with removable top covers. To service the weapon, it was proposed to remove the pin located in the rear part of the receiver, and remove the back cover that holds the return springs of both valves in place.

The SerLea ACE submachine gun received two barrels with a distinctive appearance. Trunks with relatively thick walls had a cylindrical shape in the muzzle and conical in the middle. The maximum diameter of the outer surface of the barrel was in the area of ​​the breech and mount to the receiver. On the outer
