SMGs with wooden bodies are so gorgeous.

It's a full semi-automatic bolt action machine gun.

Bolt action submachine gun....

Pretty consistent ejection pattern. You could almost direct all those cases into a coffee cup.

Finally a gun suited for the likes of gun Jesus, rumor has it the inter war Germans had him in mind when designing some of the weird features present on the mp35

Absolutely majestic The gun's cool too

Left handed SMG that wasn't designed for left handlers. Hmmm.... 🤔🤔🤔

That charging handles reminds me of that on the KP/31.

I'm a Left handed shooter, I need this in my life.. Oh, that's rite.. I'm Australian.. D'oh!

Ian- Are you going to put in a bid on it? If I only had the money...

How much did you bid ? Be like the Jimi Hendrix fan buying a left handed guitar to string it inverted.

It’s amazing how nowadays I can see something, think that’s a little odd and then immediately go on KZfaq and have an explanation in less than a minute! Thank you so much for making this video!

Its interesting how many machine guns utilized a "bolt action" type of cocking handle to "minimize" training.

I really enjoy the over the shoulder camera shots where we can get a feel of the dispersion of the bursts on a target. You really get a feel of how much accuracy you lose switching from semi to full, even on a controllable heavy smg like this one

Beautyful gun. That muzzle brake looks and works like something ahead of its time.

I love hybrid rifles. Left hand bolt right hand stock. (I‘m right eyed but a natural left handed person who mostly converted although scissors still flummox me and I can use them but not properly I grip over the finger holes an use them like garden sheers like a spaz).

That is a very steady shooting SMG - cool! Thanks Ian

And gun jesus did praise the works of the teutonic brethren but did say "glory be to full auto... but learn well the ways of the trigger my children" and gun jesus did smile and said that it was good... Praise be the word of gun jesus

Verily, I say onto you, in the House of Hans, a sub gun was crafted for His Son.

What an unusual pw, thank you Ian

Great video like always keep up the great work!

Thanks again for another cool video Mr. Gun Jesus!

I love the bolt. That is gorgeous

I didnt know you where left handed ian, great video, keep it up

Awesome video

Beautiful weapon

Definitely an SMG made for Ian. Morphy's should allow him to "borrow" it for a few matches .. maybe a decade or two, just to be thorough.

Take a look at the muzzle brake when firing, it pushes the air upwards to compensate heavily for the recoil. Good stuff.

Thank you , Ian .

I like to beat dead horses a little bit, but consider for a moment how during the inter-war years, heavy (for caliber) well made smgs were crafted... Then you have the M1, M2 Carbine, the PPsH, and StG44 using intermediate cartridges. Nowadays, after much pendulum swinging, you have a "new" resurgence in PCCs... It is ALMOST as though the human body is really, really fond of shooting a firearm heavy enough to dampen recoil in caliber small enough to make that low recoil impulse be translated into greater accuracy, while utilizing the best technology available. Comparatively speaking, it seems the recent trend towards PCCs is just the wheel coming round full circle. Hence my love for the PS90 platform. Almost as good as everyone's favorite something something, way better than other somethings, with greater capacity and less recoil than either, in a smaller overall package. Hmmm... The thing about overall utility is that it keeps rearing its relevant little head. YMMV

I believe I have seen left hand ejection before from submachine guns. Was there not an Italian one built more to the size of a carbine that was so configured. Perhaps it was the Beretta Model 38

I personally don't care too much about guns, I've no interest in buying one or even shooting one, but God damn do I love your videos.

Cracking video

You really do have the coolest job in the world

Bolthandle to add more action satisfacion lol. That signature firing sound is nice.

Out of ammo with a flinch. I developed this technique to combat flinch, and admittedly, it works better with semi-auto but try it anyway. Before shooting do a dry fire exercise for about 10 minutes and say to yourself (or out loud) "It's going to go click" each time you pull the trigger. It worked very well well with the thousands of troops that I trained.

Thank you for your wisdom mr gun jesus

There may have bee a consideration that that the magazine sticking out to the right will not protrude into a right-handed shooters field of vision. Just a thought.

M05 Verikauha spotted! When will we be seeing you again in Finland?

Pretty interesting. The Germans were always thinking, often a bit outside the box. I am LH, so i can appreciate it. I like carbines and stocked SMG's anyway. Wish i could own 1 or 2, but not in Kalifornia. Great video as always. Thank you

The little brother of the mp34 It would also be a great weapon in bfV

I'm a definite fan of WW2 smgs especially well crafted ones. Heck who am I kidding I love good craft in all firearm's. If I we're able I would snatch that little gem right up.

Ned Flanders approves of this.

Looks like you're having too much fun!

4:10 What a sweet jewel is that submachine! Some came South when the Chaco War. Later it became a cop weapon.

From the intro/thumbnail, I thought this was a Hickok45 video in my subscriptions.

Glad to finally see a detailed video on this, I always liked the look of this one. I've long had the impression that this was probably one of the better inter-war designs that the Germans could have picked up.

This things got to be rare as all hell...

Suggestion for future viewer-convenience: do post links to your own older videos in the description, if you mention them in a new video ;)

Very cool.

As a fellow southpaw, I need this. Time to start the full-auto fund.

123rd... Is it as good a gun as the Suomi? Looks amazing!

Very cool..

Wow, finally a SMG I want.

Idk why but I've always had this sense that this is the least prestigious of the high-end, interwar German machine guns. I think it's the gimmicky 'bolt-action' charging handle and perhaps the 'sort of' progressive trigger that seems really awkward. Overall, it seems like this is a good SMG, as everyone says it shoots well, feels smooth and stays on target. I would have to compare it to guns like the MP28, MP34 and ERMA EMP to really get a handle on where it stands overall. The general layout reminds me a bit of the PPD40 AND KP31, which are also well-functioning guns but they don't really have the same prestige an MP34 does. I am warming up to this gun tho and would like one in my collection some day.

Cool gun.

TOO TOO COOL ! :-)

You can really see the forward-catchunk that's s typical of an open bold gun at 3:28!

Maybe we'll see this in a future competition gun video??

I would chose that trigger over a selector switch for sure.

Nice fieldcap ...

Thank you GunJesus, very cool

found one of these in the forest yesterday 😀 i go metal detecting in germany

I don’t know much about sub machine guns but I know this one sounds like a proper SMG

Medal of honor

If I only had budget. Being blind in the right eye, I have to shoot long-guns left-handed. The MP-35 seems to be ideal.

Practically any wooden stocked submachinegun shoots comfortably.

When you think about it, it does kind've make sense; if you HAVE to make an smg with a horizontal mag putting it on the right side would obscure your field of view less than on the left side (like a sten) That is if youre right handed of course ;)

The Germans really made fine weapons. They make a many items well. Great engineers, designers, aircraft, rockets, ect.

Mine! It's mine! I must have this!

I've always like the interwar German SMGs.

Smgs with wooden bodies look gorgeous.

Nice

You're left handed?! Huzzah! I too am left handed. So cool to share dominant hand usage with Gun Jesus himself.

So.. a dom-machine gun would be 20mm or above right?

You know you want it Ian.

So, does Forgotten Weapons have a shadow program, you know where one can follow Ian around and do all the fun things he does? And on the off chance that is a real thing, how does one sign up?

Nice Hat :D

As an ambi. shooter this gun quaintly suits me :)

Ian can you do a video like the one of your gun collection but it's just all of your hats instead? Maybe a quip or two of your most interesting ones?

Hello Ian Maybe 96 Beryl or MSBS-5,56 Grot as your next weapon of choice? Cheers

As a left handed person too, id love to know what Ian's choice of concealed carry is

Seems like a very swanky gun. High rof, easy handling and classy design. Sign me up for one of those. Thanks Ian

Sounds like the perfect sub gun for Gun Jesus!

Love that ding as your rounds make contact

zero recoil. pretty impressive.

Boy howdy, you know that baby will go for big bucks!-John in Texas

A submachine gun that works well for left handed people-wonder how much Ian will bid on it?

I honestly expected the gun having a 500-600 rpm rof but that was an impressive rof of.... Idk 660-700?

I always thought the MP-35 was an MP-34 except slightly different.

this could replace the berretta 38 in my smg lust list. if it was 2 Trigger it'd be perfect

The MP-35 really is emblematic of the weird shenanigans German gun designers got into in the late 19th into the mid 20th century. Granted, it's also a testament to the ridiculous reticence with which militaries of the time were dragged into accepting submachine guns into their doctrines. There was the perfectly serviceable MP-34 already ready and available, but instead they want a bolt action on an open bolt SMG, because dear lord the soldiers would never figure out how to pull a charging handle in a straight line! They must have a bolt to ameliorate the confusion! At least they never tried to put a magazine cutoff on it, I suppose.

Nice smg. Do they offer a canmbering in .50 beowulf?

Did they ever make a semi only version?

He will own it and then he did

How did they not choose this one?

What you normally do is to forget to say what caliber the weapons use !

how does it being a C&R affect it if it's an NFA item ? or can you have it ship directly to your home as well (after the stamp cleared) ?
