This video explores Walther's less common submachine guns, the MPK and MPL, developed in the late 1950s and produced from 1963 to 1985. These simple blowback, open-bolt firearms were available in short (MPK) and long (MPL) barrel configurations. The video highlights their cost-effective stamped sheet metal construction, non-reciprocating charging handle, and effective safety sear. Despite some design quirks, such as the sights, and facing stiff competition from contemporaries like the Uzi and MP5, the Walther SMGs secured contracts with various police forces and military units globally. Ultimately, while not a runaway success, they proved to be solid and reliable weapons.
