The Walther MPK and MPL are post-WWII submachine guns developed in the late 1950s and produced from 1963, competing with the Uzi and MP5. They feature a simple stamped sheet metal construction, ambidextrous controls, and a manageable 550 RPM rate of fire. While robust and portable, their sights are considered a weak point by the reviewer.

This review delves into the Walther MPK submachine gun, a competitor to the Uzi and MP5. Key features include an open bolt design, a non-reciprocating charging handle with a manual forward assist, and a secondary safety sear catch to prevent accidental discharges. The MPK offered selector options for full-auto and, in some variants, semi-automatic fire.

This video humorously addresses a malfunctioning clock by suggesting a rather extreme solution: using a Walther MPK submachine gun. The title and description clearly indicate a focus on a specific firearm and a tongue-in-cheek approach to problem-solving, likely aimed at entertainment within the firearms community.

This Q&A episode from Forgotten Weapons covers a wide array of firearms-related topics and tangents. Key discussions include modern squad weapons, favorite historical sites, daily schedules, the advantages of toggle locking systems, and the potential comeback of Gyrojet ammunition. The video also touches on aerial guns, video backlog, the feasibility of the 6mm Lee Navy with modern materials, helical magazines, rifle importation, specific historical firearms like Berthier rifles and Broomhandle Mausers, and the possibility of modernizing the H&K P7. Other subjects include single-feed pistol magazines, the 8mm Kurz cartridge, big-bore pistols, the rationale behind judging service rifles, and collaborations with other YouTubers. Further topics delve into the FN MAG, the reasons behind the lack of top-feed LMGs, new modular platforms in 6.5/6.8mm cartridges, the failure of the Walther MPK/MPL, gunsmithing support for rare guns, WW2 German use of captured small arms, the Steyr-Hahn machine pistol, variable pitch recoil springs, bump stocks, post-FW plans, constant recoil guns, puzzling military adoptions, WW1 small arms, and a comparison of HK and AR15 irons.

The BXP is a South African 9mm firearm designed by Andries Piek, evolving from his LDP carbine. Produced by multiple companies from 1984 onwards, it features a blowback action, available in semi-auto (closed bolt, hammer-fired) and full-auto (open bolt, fixed firing pin) variants. It utilizes 30-round Walther MPK/MPL-based magazines and an under-folding stock, offering manageable recoil and a reliable, albeit basic, design.

The Walther MPL submachine gun, designed in the late 1950s, features a unique bolt mass design above the barrel for a shorter receiver. It operates via blowback with an open bolt and is chambered in 9mm, using proprietary 32-round magazines. The MPL offers a dual sight system for quick or precise shooting and a controllable firing experience comparable to an MP5.
