This video discusses an upgrade to the World War One-era MP-18 submachine gun, focusing on the development and adoption of an alternative box magazine designed by Hugo Schmeisser. The original MP-18 used cumbersome "snail drum" magazines. While Schmeisser developed a new box magazine after the war, its adoption was slow and not universally implemented, even by the German Army, which continued to use snail drum models into World War Two. Some German police forces eventually adopted the updated system, though often many years after the war's end.
