Description
This weapon was designed by the military nation who had just heard about the novel new invention of a sub machine gun and wanted in on that action, as such they quickly commissioned a new weapon and had it put into production. It was fairly reliable, lightweight and did it's intended job quite adequately with a rate of fire of 600rpm. However, among the choices they made for this weapon was a most unorthodox one: instead of using a detachable box magazine, they instead fell back on what worked for their rifles and pistols, namely a fixed magazine which had a stripper clip shoved down it. In total, several hundred thousand of them were made and issued before this nation got caught in a war. There it proved itself useful in urban combat, but their were complications with these guns. First was the matter of dirt, which the clips were quite sensitive to, a fact which could lead to jams. Loading the weapon could be awkward due to stuffing a clip down the top of the weapon into the magazine protruding from the bottom. The enemy adopted a box magazine SMG, which had the advantage of a 75 round drum clip, while the clip fed SMG was limited by design to it's 30 round stripper clips.

The Small Arms committee took note of this and soon decided to introduce a comparable weapon. Feeling that their was no time for an extensive design process, they simply reverse engineered their enemy's guns, rechambering it to their ammunition. The end result was an notoriously unreliable weapon despised by the poor soldiers who were issued it. As such, after a mere year of production it was discontinued and more of the clip fed weapons were produced until the end of the war and would remain in service for more than a decade afterwards. After the war's conclusion, these weapons became iconic of their state due to their unorthodox design.
