Luger Machinepistol (long)

John - I can't throw any light on the Swiss submachinegun, but Theodor Bergmann Waffenabteilung Suhl made a Hugo Schmeisser-designed SMG called the 9mm Bergmann-Maschinenpistole 18,1 or MP18,1. It used the standard 32 round P.08Lange snail-drum magazine. One can be seen in operation in the film 'Michael Collins' when the boys let rip through the broken window of a cafe at a bunch of G-men. I can provide piccies if required, but I just can't get them onto this site to save my life.....
