Mauser always planned to do a .22lr version of the Parabellum in the 1970s. They wanted to use Erma's .22lr conversion sets as a basis for that version and hoped that Erma would go bankrupt (something which followed the company around throughout the 70s and 80s), but miraculously, Erma did survive long enough for Mauser to miss the opportunity to buy them, and the .22lr Mauser Parabellum never materialized (except for a few prototypes).
