Original German pre WWII Machine Pistol MP 18 I Flare Gun 34 Manual 1934

Description: Original German pre WWII manual with 52 pages from 1934. Very rare. I could not find another edition ever offered anywhere else. Some translation: "I. The submachine gun device (M.P.18') Special print from Schmitt: Weapons technical instruction book for police officers. 15th/16th edition, which has been introduced as a service regulation for the Prussian police, etc. A. The submachine gun. General. The Submachine Gun 18 I (M.P. 18 I) is a fully automatic weapon with a fixed barrel and air cooling that is very easy to use. It is closed by the force of the recoil spring and fired by the force of the powder. When closing, the cartridge is pushed from the detachable magazine into the barrel and fired; when firing, the fired cartridge case is extracted and ejected, and the recoil spring is cocked. The M.P. is a very effective close combat weapon up to 200 m against unarmored, living targets. The caliber is 9 mm and it fires the ammunition from the 08 pistol. A clip-on magazine with 32 rounds is fired in around 3.5 seconds in continuous fire, i.e. the M.P. has a theoretical rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. However, as a rule only bursts of 3 to 5 rounds are fired. The advantages of the M.P. over the l.M.G. are its portability, its low weight, its rapid readiness to fire and its functional reliability. The M.P. is therefore particularly suitable for firing during the attack, for defence against an attack and in street fighting (attacks from windows, hatches, balconies, roofs, cellars) as well as for defence against suddenly emerging targets that require rapid relocation of fire (self-defence tasks). The disadvantages of the M.P. are: low penetration power, short effective range (up to 200 m) and lack of depth effect. The M.P. therefore complements the l.M.G., but can never see it. Structural peculiarity of the M.P.: It is not rigidly locked. Rather, the locking is achieved by "shooting" the water, namely: a) by the pressure of the recoil spring, but mainly b) by the force of the bolt still in the recoil spring when fired. loaded closure (700 g), c) by the inertia of the closure masses. Innovations in the M.P. (in police forces of individual countries): 1. Replacement of the drum magazine by a rod magazine, because The drum magazine causes problems and is too bulky (carrying, packaging), and filling it is also more complicated. There are stick magazines with 32 and 20 shots. 2. The sleeve insertion spout is modified for the rod magazine. 3. The filler for the rod magazine is simpler than that for the drum magazine. 4. For single and continuous fire, an adjustment device is mounted above the trigger." "The flare gun with ammunition. Status March 1934. The flare gun is used to fire flare and signal cartridges. These lighting and signaling devices (flare gun with ammunition) are intended to illuminate the area or to give agreed signals using different colors and variations. The visibility of the flares depends on the background, lighting, etc. Confusion with enemy flares and deliberate deception by the enemy are possible. A. Flare gun (L.P.). (Images 1 and 2.) 1. General. The flare gun has a non-rifled barrel of 26.65 mm caliber. It is opened and closed using a lever lock (tilt lock). The length of the flare gun is 326 mm, and the weight with accessories is 1.9 kg. Accessories are included with every flare gun. This consists of: 1 pouch for the flare gun with 1 carrying strap, 1 cleaning rod (made of steel) for removing cartridge case residue (picture 3) etc. The following is used to carry the ammunition: 1 pouch for flare and signal cartridges with 1 carrying strap (picture 4). In the absence of this accessory, the flare gun is best carried on the bread bag strap in such a way that the strap is placed around the neck and one snap hook is attached to the buckle of the bread bag strap and the other to the carrying ring of the pistol. The flare gun is then placed between the waist belt and the jacket. The shooter carries the flare ammunition either in special pockets on the waist belt or in the bread bag. 2. The most important parts of the flare gun are: Laus: bolt rail with hinge hole, bolt hook, (cartridge) extractor and extractor tooth (pictures 1 and 2); Box: box rail, impact base, lock bearing;"
