"A shovel is a soldier's friend," says a famous Soviet poster. The small infantry shovel (also known as the "small sapper shovel") of the MPL-50 fully confirms this slogan. Indispensable for the military, tourists, hunters and fishermen, motorists, this tool has all the advantages characteristic of Soviet-made army equipment. The infantry shovel is light, compact, easy to use and very durable. The MPL-50 has many applications. Its direct purpose is self-digging under the fire of the enemy. In addition, it is famous as a weighty argument in hand — to-hand combat-both shock and throwing. In addition to these purely military functions, it can be used as an ordinary "civilian" shovel in the garden, in the garden and in general anywhere where a shovel may be needed — for example, when digging a car out of the road. Among the non-standard options — a shovel can be useful as an axe, machete, paddle, splint for a broken limb and even a frying pan.
The design of the shovel is reliable and practical: the shovel tray is made of strong steel with a thickness of 2 mm and is covered with black paint that protects against rust. The tray is firmly attached to a strong wooden handle with a rivet and two screws. The weight of the tool is 800 grams. On the tray of shovels that are sold in our military trade, the factory brand is put-the famous "3 Christmas trees OTC-1". The year of production of our shovels — 1984-1989. The brand may also be present on the stalk.
MPL-50:
The small infantry shovel (MPL) is a wearable trench tool of ordinary and non - commissioned officers of the Red Army and the Armed Forces of the USSR. The number in the name indicates the length of the product.
the total length of the small infantry shoulder blade is 50 cm, the
length of the bayonet is 18 cm, the
width is 15 cm, and the
weight is about 800 g.
The small infantry shovel (MPL) was invented by the Danish officer Mads Linnemann in 1869 and later patented it. In 1871, Linnemann opened production in Austria and soon received one of the largest orders from the Russian Empire, where the invention was well appreciated. And here the question arises: why did other countries ignore such a useful invention of Linnemann? And everything is simple. The armed forces of other countries took Linnemann's idea as a basis and made small changes in its design, thereby creating a new one.
