Discussion

Should the MP28 ,Lanchester SMG, and Steyr Solothurn S1\100 pages be combined on this page?

What are the visual differences between the MP18 and MP28, if any? --Funkychinaman (talk) 02:53, 21 April 2013 (EDT)

I will raise the question once again: should the MP18, MP28 and Lanchester not be combined on one page, given that these are different versions of the same weapon? --Slon95 (talk) 08:49, 14 January 2020 (EST)

I vote yes for combining the MP18, MP28, Lanchester, and the Sig M1920 onto a single page, along with perhaps the MP34/Steyr Solothurn S1/100 as well. --AK-74Fan (talk) 11:30, 14 January 2020 (EST)

I'd agree with the MP28, Lanchester, and SIG M1920, though the MP34 is different enough that I think it merits a separate page. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 18:34, 14 January 2020 (EST) P.S.: Just so you know, AK-74Fan, "SIG" is supposed to be in all caps, since it's an acronym.

Start using

It is true, that Bergmann-Schmeisser MP started to use before 1918? I ran across a rumor, that they are delivered with 1916 (More then the original structure, with magazines - "sticks"), but no concrete evidence for this is not found. Slon95 (talk) 16 January 2015 (EDT)

Post-war mag well

If the post-war MP18's were refitted/produced with the MP28 magwell, then does that mean it could also load from the MP28/Lancaster 50-round magazines? --HashiriyaR32 (talk) 13:28, 8 December 2018 (EST)

It may, but the modification to the box was made for internal use only. If you see this somewhere outside Germany, then with 99% probability it is SIG, MP28, or Lanchester. --Slon95 (talk) 16:46, 31 July 2021 (EDT)
