technology
It is an in-line fire pistol in caliber 9 × 19 mm and 9 × 18 mm with a fixed barrel and locking mechanism . In front of the trigger, in order to be able to better control the weapon in continuous fire, a removable handle is attached, which contains a reserve magazine. The weapon has a conventional open sight with a rear sight and front sight on the slide . The fire selector lever is located on the left above the trigger on the frame of the pistol.
The cadence of the weapon is limited by doubling the hammer and release lever (335 rounds / min). The muzzle velocity was 365 m / s.
The ammunition cases are ejected upwards.

Only 14 examples of the weapon were made. One is exhibited in the Defense Technology Study Collection in Koblenz . Another is in the weapons museum in Suhl .
