The featured firearms include the Bergmann MP18 (often misattributed to "Schmeisser"), the MP34, the Erma EMP (associated with SS troops), the iconic MP40 used by the Wehrmacht, and a "Final Days of the Third Reich" MP 3008, a copy of the British Sten gun.

This video provides an in-depth look at the Japanese Contract Steyr-Solothurn S1-100, also known as the MP34. It details the gun's origins as a workaround to Versailles Treaty restrictions, its high-quality construction, and its international sales. The specific example featured is a Japanese contract variant chambered in 7.62mm Mauser, likely captured by an American serviceman during WWII and later registered. The video highlights its original condition, with the exception of a potentially replaced barrel, and its unique markings.
