Talk:Volkspistole

No era blowback simple, sino una pistola acerrojada y accionada por medio de retroceso corto y medio giro del cañón. poor translation:→ It was not simple blowback but a gun driven by means of short recoil and rotation of the barrel. See here: http://jamesdjulia.com/item/1242-369/ .

No, Each of the three designs had different operating systems. User7355608 (talk) 17:49, 28 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Minor Designers? edit

according to chatgpt after giving it the prompt:

It is difficult to say exactly who the minor designers of the Volkspistole were, as many different individuals and organizations contributed to the project in various ways. However, some of the other companies and individuals that were involved in the development of the Volkspistole prototypes include:

  • Erma Werke: A German weapons company that developed a number of firearms during World War II, including several prototype designs for the Volkspistole.
  • Fritz Sauckel: A prominent Nazi official who was put in charge of organizing the production of the Volkspistole, among other weapons.
  • Richard Simson: A German firearms designer who had previously worked for the company Sauer & Sohn. Simson developed a prototype design for the Volkspistole that was chambered for the 9mm Kurz cartridge.
  • Heinrich Krieghoff: A German gunmaker who developed a prototype design for the Volkspistole that was chambered for the 7.65mm Browning cartridge.

after asking for the sources:

  • "German Pistols and Holsters 1934-1945, Volume II" by R. Reinhart and G. Jennings (1991). This book provides an overview of German pistols from the period, including a section on the Volkspistole.
  • "Mauser Pistolen: Development and Production, 1877-1946" by Roy G. Pender (2011). This book covers the history and development of Mauser pistols, which were one of the companies involved in the development of the Volkspistole.
  • "German Automatic Weapons of World War II: The MG 34 and MG 42 Machine Guns, and their Variants" by Robert Bruce (2002). While this book primarily covers machine guns, it does provide some information on the development of small arms in general during World War II, including the Volkspistole.
