MP18 ベルグマンMP18
The [b]MP18[/b] ([i]Maschinenpistole 18[/i]) is a [[gun|firearm]] designed by "Hugo Schmeisser":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Schmeisser, the very first open-bolt [b][[submachine gun]][/b] ever. Predominantly chambered in 9×19mm round, it was introduced in 1918 by the Imperial German Army during World War I as the primary [[weapon]] of the "Stormtroopers":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormtroopers_(Imperial_Germany). Its design became the basis of most SMGs manufactured between 1920 and 1960.

Unlike more modern SMGs, the MP18 featured a wooden rifle-styled buttstock without pistol grip, and relatively heavy due to thick milled receiver tube. Magazine is inserted on the left, and can accept the 32-round "snail" [[drum magazine]] designed for the [[luger p08|Artillery Luger]].
