The Frommer Stop double submachine gun,In 1917 the Hungarian part of the Austro Hungarian Empire cam

The Frommer Stop double submachine gun,In 1917 the Hungarian part of the Austro Hungarian Empire came up with this weird and bizarre World War I weapon.  Called the M.1917 Frommer Stop dual submachine gun, it featured dual Frommer stop pistols mounted upside down on a special tripod.  The Frommer stop pistols used were not the traditional M1912 sidearms, but instead a modified fully automatic machine pistol called the M1917 with special 25 round magazines.  It was chambered in 7.65mm (.32acp).Supposedly the Frommer submachine gun was inspired by a similar Italian weapon called the Villar Perosa.  I don’t know why the Hungarians would want to emulate the Villar Perosa, certainly a flawed and terrible idea.  Having faced off against the Italians and their Villar Perosa submachine guns, I would think they would not be inspired to copy such a flawed weapon,  but they did.  The Frommer Stop submachine gun had all the same weaknesses as the Villar Perosa.  It had very limited range and accuracy, was under-powered for its purpose, was too small to be a machine gun, yet too unwieldy to be a submachine gun.  The Frommer Stop submachine was later deemed inadequate for military needs, thus they were only produced in limited numbers. -- source link
