This video delves into the history and design of the Vollmer VMP-1930, a submachine gun developed during secret German military trials in 1925. The VMP-1930, a C&R transferable example, showcases key design elements that would later appear in the mass-produced Erma EMP, including a traditional box magazine and a self-contained recoil spring system. A notable feature of this early pattern is a collapsible monopod integrated into the vertical front grip, which was eventually omitted in later iterations. The video explores the iterative development of Vollmer's design, funded by the government until 1930.
