A cheap alternative to the Luger? The Volkspistole with weapon and firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson
Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries, details the Mauser experimental m7082 Volkspistole, a 'last-ditch' firearm designed for rapid, low-cost production during late WWII. He explains its purpose for the Volkssturm, its construction from stamped sheet metal, and its design evolution from straight blowback to a gas-delayed system to manage the 9x19mm Parabellum round's recoil. The Volkspistole aimed to be a cheaper alternative to standard service sidearms like the Luger or P38.
