You would think that the Germanicon MP18 submachine gun or the Colt 1921 Thompson would have brought an end to the full auto pistol or "machine pistols',
but there was a big market in China during the 1920's for these full auto pistols. Spain developed the first of the "broomhandle" full auto pistols with
Mauser following in 1932. It has been estimated that Spain imported over 300,000 of these pistols to China alone and there was still a market in
South Americaicon too. These pistols cost less than a submachine gun
