MP 18: History, Applications & Measurement

The MP 18 (Maschinen-Pistole 18) is a German submachine gun designed and manufactured by Bergmann Waffenfabrik. Introduced into service in mid-1918 by the German Army during World War I, the MP 18 was intended for use as a short-range weapon for trench warfare that would provide individual soldiers with increased firepower over a pistol.
