This video details a non-factory safety modification commonly found on German inter-war police submachine guns, particularly the Erma EMP. Unlike standard open-bolt safeties, this system locks the bolt in the forward, closed position, allowing for safer carry with a loaded magazine. The modification involves cutting slots into the receiver and bolt, and attaching a lever-based safety unit.

This review of the German MP35/I submachine gun highlights its unique left-side ejection and right-side magazine, designed for right-handed operation similar to a Mauser rifle. The progressive trigger system allows for distinct semi-automatic and full-automatic fire modes. The firearm showcases high interwar build quality, offering a smooth shooting experience despite a trigger requiring practice.

The Bergmann MP35, though a WWII-era submachine gun, was not adopted by the Wehrmacht but primarily by the SS and police. It features a distinctive right-side magazine feed, a progressive trigger for semi-auto and full-auto fire, and a unique bolt-action-style cocking handle for a sealed receiver. Despite its complex design, it offered a manageable rate of fire and internal safety features.
