If any firm has exhibited the continued development of a weapon type it is the firm of Erma. They have developed the MP (Machinen-Pistole) series of submachine guns for over 40 years and as a result the weapon range displays the advances in material and in technique of manufacture which have taken place. Erma, ERfurt MAchinen = ERMA, was founded in 1924 by Berthold Geiupel, who had been the Director of the main arsenal at Erfurt which had been disbanded alter World War I in 1919. Although the first submachine guns had been demonstrated in prototype form during the first World War, it was not until 1927 that an efficient weapon was developed. Once again, as with many weapons of this era, the early submachine gun developments were put to their initial tests during the Spanish Civil War.

The Colt .45 has had a love-hate relationship with its users since its arrival was announced in 1905. Love, because it will fire continuously in the worst combat conditions and give 100% stopping power ; hate because of the heavy twisting recoil that makes the rookie gun-shy if not carefully trained.

An expert can often tell the origin of a pistol by its look and finish. One would not need to be an expert to identify the Webley automatic pistol. The unmistakable square features could only come from the country from which emanates the bulldog breed. This is a weapon which has no pretensions to beauty but has an honest look of reliable dependability. The idea behind and the development of the Webley automatic pistol took place in four stages. First, the ill-fated Mars Fairfax pistol which, although of a most advanced design, never achieved commercial success. (The failure of the Mars set Mr Webley the task of developing a reliable and commercially viable automatic pistol.) Second, the successful range of automatic pistols developed and put into production, between 1903 and 1940. Third, the Harrington and Richardson Licence Built pistols. and fourth, the 9mm parabellum pistol developed unsuccessfully for small arms trials around 1952. (The failure of this pistol probably stopped any chance of the British small arms industry equipping any future British Armed Forces with an automatic pistol.)
