Doughboy Bringback MP-18,I on the Range

This video showcases a rare MP-18,I submachine gun, considered by many to be the first of its kind. The firearm was originally issued to German Sturmtruppen in the final months of World War I and is presented in its original configuration with a 32-round drum magazine, a configuration later changed to box magazines. The video highlights the MP-18,I's gentle shooting characteristics, low rate of fire, and large sights, while also noting the drum magazine's impact on weapon balance. The example featured is a war trophy brought home by a US soldier.
