More accurately "Machine Pistol", which is what we know as a SUB machinegun.
Hey, don't jump on my ass! That's Google's translation!

And remember -

"...copper jacketed bullets corrode to copper sulfate which doesn't seriously harm barrels, but the old German steel jacketed bullets, "stahl-mantel geschoss" rust to iron oxide and will destroy a barrel with as little as one shot."

Ed says he's shot that old WWII ammunition and noted that as well...
