Owen biography, Owen discography
The Owen Gun, which was known officially as the Owen Machine Carbine, was an Australian submachine gun designed by Evelyn (Evo) Owen in 1939.World War II and was the main submachine gun used by the Australian Army during the war.Private Evelyn Owen Circa 1942.Owen, an inventor from Wollongong, was 24 in July 1939 when he demonstrated his prototype ."Machine Carbine" to Australian Army ordnance officers at the Victoria Barracks in Sydney.Following the outbreak of war, Owen joined the army as a private.About two years later, Owen decided to try a direct approach to a manufacturer, John Lysaght's factory at Port Kembla near Wollongong.Owen was acquainted with the daughter of the Hotel Illawarra publican, Hilda Condon in Wollongong and that Vincent Wardell was the manager of Lysaght's.Owen knew that Wardell was in habit of visiting the hotel on Friday nights.Owen asked Condon to give his prototype to Wardell.Condon agreed and passed the prototype over the counter to Wardell in a sugar bag, suggesting that he should take look at it.The army continued to view the weapon in a negative light, but the government took an increasingly favourable view.The choice of caliber took some time to be settled.Official trials were organized, and Lysaght made three versions in 9 mm, .The Owen was the only gun that still operated after the treatment.Although the test showed the Owen's capability, the army could not decide on a calibre, and it was only after intervention from the higher levels of government that the army ordered the 9 mm variant.The Owen went into production at the Lysaght factory at Port Kembla.Between March 1942 and February 1943, Lysaght produced 28,000 Owen Guns.However, the initial batch of ammunition turned out to be the wrong type and 10,000 of the guns could not be supplied with ammunition.Once again government intervention overrode military bureaucracy, and took the ammunition through the final production stages, and into the hands of Australian troops at that time fighting Japanese forces in New Guinea.Approximately 50,000 Owens were produced from 1941 to 1945.Although it was somewhat bulky, the Owen became very popular with soldiers because of its reliability.It was so successful that it was also ordered by the United States and New Zealand.The Owen was used later used by Australian troops in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.Design
The Owen has a simple blowback design, firing from an open bolt.The placement of the magazine allows cartridges to simply fall into the chamber, rather than be pushed into it by a spring, which is more prone to failure and jamming.This prevents dirt and mud from jamming the bolt, and makes the Owen a highly reliable weapon.To facilitate cleaning, the ejector is built into the magazine, rather than the body of the gun.Machine Carbine, 9 mm Owen, Mark 1
