An experimental automatic firearm from early 1940s made in Switzerland by Hanz F. Müller. It was strongly influenced by french MAS-38. This firearm is something between sub-machine gun and modern assault rifle in terms of performance. It's 8mm Müller ammo isn't as powerful as intermediate rifle ammunition but is much more stronger than a pistol round. Its fire rate is about 500 RPM.
It shoots from closed bolt which is angled at °5 down from the bore axis. It is recoil operated with complicated roller delayed mechanism. Round is fired by hammer.
3 models of A version and 1 model of version B were made. Version B featured short barrel and no wooden furniture. Due to bolt being over-complicated and fragile, this project was discontinued.

Since we are getting so many modern SMGs, I felt like WW2 era thing would be nice addition.
