The Bergmann MP 35 was a German selective-fire submachine gun designed by Theodor Bergmann in the early 1930s. Distinguished by its right-side-mounted magazine and rear-mounted bolt-handle that resembled a bolt-action rifle, it used a unique two-stage progressive trigger: a short pull fired single shots, while a long pull engaged full-automatic fire. About 40,000 were produced during World War II, almost all delivered to the Waffen-SS.
