The design was completed afterwards and used a different internal system from the MP18 or Beretta, but it had missed its chance to be the first purpose-designed submachine gun to enter service.

The MP18. 1 manufactured by Theodor Bergmann Waffenbau Abteilung was the first practical submachine gun used in combat.

A soundly engineered piece of equipment with near commercial grade fittings and finish, the MP18 was a heavy weapon, weighing over when fully loaded.

Though Schmeisser designed a conventional 20 round capacity " box " magazine for the weapon, the Testing Commission, for practical reasons, insisted that the MP18 be adapted to use the 32 round TM 08 Luger " snail " drum magazines that was widely used with the long barreled version of the P 08 pistol known as Artillery model.

The German police asked for an external safety on its MP18 and a universal bolt locking safety was added on all the submachine guns used by the police.

The original MP18. 1 was designed to use the snail drum magazine of the Luger Artillery model pistol.

A special sleeve was required when the snail drum was used on the MP18 to stop the snail drum from being inserted too far in the magazine well.

After 1920, the MP18 was modified to use a straight magazine similar to those used in the later developed MP40 submachine gun.

Bergmann, by 1918 had developed the MP18.

Submachine guns ( e. g., the German MP18 ) as well as lighter machine guns ( the Chauchat, for example ) saw their first major use in World War I, along with heavy use of large-caliber machine guns.

The MP18 remained in limited service with the German armed forces during the Second World War, specifically with the Sicherheitsdienst, later eastern foreign divisions of the Waffen SS and also with Kriegsmarine coastal artillery units.

In Germany some improvements on the MP18 were employed, namely the MP28 / II and the MP34.

Although MP18 production ended in the 1920s, its design formed the basis of most submachine guns manufactured between 1920 and 1960.

The MP18 could only fire in the fully automatic mode.

It is based on a simplified Bergman MP18, modified for the 8mm Nambu round.

The weapon is similar in design to the MP18 Bergmann, which itself saw service towards the end of World War I.
