This video explores the MP-40/I, an experimental modification of the MP-40 submachine gun developed by Erma in late 1942. The design aimed to address Soviet SMG fire superiority by incorporating a dual-magazine housing, allowing for a quicker transition to a fresh magazine. The video details the mechanism, highlighting its advantages in rapid reloads and its disadvantages, including increased weight, poor balance, and susceptibility to fouling. It notes that only a small number were produced, and few survive today. The example shown has a mismatched serial number but features an original magazine.
