Maschinenpistole 61 (MP 61)

47.9k Phantomium  7.4 years ago

Designed as a successor to the already-aging MP 40, the Mauser MP 61 was recently adopted by the Wehrmacht and the SS.
Work on it began in 1960 with its first prototypes being built around late-1960. The Higher Command was pleased by its performance and so quickly drafted an order of around 250.000 that were to be made by June 1961.
Unlike the MP 40, the MP 61 featured an improved cooling system, slightly smaller magazine (30 bullets instead of 32), much higher power and a lightweight design. It was fully made out of metal. It fires new 8x25 mm Kurz bullets that can travel faster and (theoretically) penetrate armor a lot better than the 9x19 mm Parabellum.

This was sort of inspired by the SMG that can be sometimes seen in the Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus trailer. As there is no datasheet whatsoever about it, most of the stats were made up.

    @FennVectorCWA :DD
    SJW... gotta love 'em for at least trying so hard :DD
    Not to mention, again, the easily offended. "Oh I feel offended by this cause it's a swastika and Hitler is bad". Please stfu and, if you really feel offended by this, then why the heck are you here?

    Was about to say that "history is history" but it seems you did it :)

    @FennVectorCWA Like if I really care about it :D
    Don't get me wrong. My grandparents suffered a lot due to the commies and yet I don't get offended by seeing the hammer and sickle at all.
    Tbh, hurts me right into somewhere if there, indeed, is someone offended :)

    @AdrianFlyingAce It's gonna be very hard though. Even so, guess I'll have to make an unlisted variant with many more details. (As a side note, all the fuselage inlets on the gun barrel are meant to be holes)
    Btw, can you 3D print by using metal now?
