And so, the Germans had finally created something that was simple. However, they then realized that they were in fact Germans, and in order to narrowly avoid total national embarrassment, paired it with a magazine system that was twice as complicated as itself. Order was swiftly, and thoroughly, restored.

A couple of years ago a bank was robbed at gunpoint in my city (Santiago, Chile) with a "Machinegun". The culprit was caught, and so its gun, which was an MP18, which was donated to a museum.

Kevin the Grenadier is now a obligatory NPC in every game I run from this point onward.

Hit all 4 targets at least twice at 100 meters in a single mag dump. That's actually quite impressive. Well done Mae and goes to show how controllable it is.

I would've loved if the intro was, "Hi! I'm Othias, and war were declared."

Mae's big 'ol grin after those 32 round full-auto mag dumps says it all.

Wait a minute. My left eye hadn't even started to close when War Were Declared. This should be one heck of an episode

Being a German teacher, the German word for "improved" is "verbessert"

You release this near Christmas, and didn’t go “Ho Ho Ho now I have a (sub) machine gun” when you went into the breakdown? Missed opoutunity

I saw the problem from the start, problem is, it doesn't take Glock mags. Love the channel.

For those speculating on what the ",I" stands for, here's some gasoline to throw on the fire: the improved version of the M.P. 18,I - with a stick magazine - was named the "M.P. 28,II."

I had an uncle (by marriage) whose father was an infantry sergeant in WW1 and he said that in one battle he and his men were ordered to advance on the Germans just behind the artillery walking barrage. They HAD to walk at a designated pace or get hit by their own artillery. THAT was discipline my friends, discipline.
