This video delves into the EROP 1954, a peculiar submachine gun prototype from French military trials. The EROP company, based in Paris, produced around 18 prototypes between 1954 and 1956, all of which were ultimately unsuccessful. The firearm features a closed-bolt, striker-fired mechanism, utilizes modified MP40 magazines, and is chambered in 9mm Parabellum. A notable characteristic is its tubular receiver and a unique, perplexing buttstock design. The footage was filmed with the kind permission of the IRCGN (Institut de Recherche Criminelle de la Gendarmerie Nationale).
