At the end of the Second World War the Germans were frantically searching for weapons which could overcome the lack of strategic materials and manufacturing facilities. It is out of these difficulties that some of the best and most advanced weapon development was carried out. After the war most of the design staffs of the German armament industries dispersed throughout Europe; some ended up in Spain, amongst whom was a former member of the Mauser Werke firm - Herr Volgrimmler. In Spain basic design concepts developed during the war were turned into drawings and then into production weapons at the Centro de Estudios Technicos de Materiales Especiales - an short CETME. This is a Government-run establishment to foster design and development work. These designs for a service rifle were later developed by Heckler & Koch. Thus from a very troubled childhood came a weapon type that was to equip a number of armed forces in a variety of guises.

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.
