1916 and 1917 DWM are quoted at 173000 pieces each year.
If they worked 300 days a year and put in 12 hours daily that gives:
576 2/3 Parabellums a day and 48 an hour.
Given that it took @12 hours to make one then they had at least 576 men +-? making Parabellums alone.
On a totally unrelated note the Daewoo shipyard in South Korea employs @50000 workers and they slaughter @200 cattle daily to feed them. Not that they just eat bovine meat but that is a lot of cattle daily.
