Frommer Pistolen-MG Model 1917: A Crazy Villar Perosa Copy
This video delves into the fascinating history of the Frommer Pistolen-MG Model 1917, an Austro-Hungarian attempt to replicate the Italian Villar Perosa machine pistol. Developed by FÉG, this unique weapon features two Frommer Stop pistols with extended barrels, firing from an open bolt, and mounted on a small tripod with spade grips. Though only a few dozen were produced for testing, the model was ultimately not adopted for military service. The presentation highlights a rare surviving example, offering viewers a close look at this obscure WWI-era firearm.
