The West German border guard (\"Bundesgrenzschutz\" or BGS) was \r\nlooking to adopt a new submachine gun in 1951, and the Italian-made \r\nBeretta Model 38\/49 was the eventual choice. The official designation \r\nfor the new weapon was \"MP1\". \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn order to respond to ongoing military provocations by the USSR and \r\nEast Germany, the West German Defense Force, or \"Bundeswehr\", was \r\nestablished in 1955 and the country became a member of NATO that same \r\nyear. At the time, many WWII surplus weapons, like the M3 Grease Gun and\r\n M1 Thompson, were in use by West Germany. Thus, a program to find a \r\nreplacement of the MP1 and other WW2-era SMGs was started by the West \r\nGerman Ministry of Defense. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nUnder pressure from the expansion of the Warsaw Pact, many western \r\ncountries, such as UK, Sweden, Italy, and Israel, submitted their next \r\nlevel submachine guns to the German program. The Swedish made Carl \r\nGustav M\/45 SMG earned the highest scores in testing. However, the very \r\nnext day after the announcement of the result, representatives from \r\nIsrael Military Industries (IMI) met with the German Minister of \r\nDefense. It is not known what was discussed. After 2 weeks, the next new\r\n submachine gun of German Bundeswehr was declared, the prized contract \r\ngoing to Israel's IMI and their UZI submachine gun. There were two \r\nprobable factors that influenced the sudden change in the German \r\ndecision. The first was IMI was able to meet the stringent time frame \r\nfor delivery the Bundeswehr demanded. The second probable factor was \r\nthat the SMG program was seen as a way to indicate good will and \r\nestablish a formal diplomatic relationship between West Germany and \r\nIsrael.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAfter the new gun was adopted, it was designated as the MP2 for the \r\nwooden fixed-stock version, and the MP2A1 for the folding-stock version.\r\n It also sported German-language selector switch markings: D \r\n(Dauerfeuer; \"continuous fire\")?E (Einzelfeuer; \"single fire\"), and S \r\n(Sicher; \"safe\"). \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn 1960, the design was changed for safety and to meet Bundewehr \r\nregulations, preventing cocking of the breech block when the selector is\r\n on safe. In July of the same year, the issues of difficulty cocking the\r\n MP2 with gloved hands (due to the small cocking knob), and the bolt \r\naccidentally releasing before the gun was fully cocked were solved by \r\nincreasing the size of cocking knob and designing a new ratchet safety \r\nbuilt into the top cover. The original 25-round magazines were fully \r\nreplaced by 32-round magazines by the late ?60s.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAfter 60 years of service, the MP2 had served widely in the Bundeswehr. \r\nBy 2006, the German Army began phasing out the MP2 and replacing it with\r\n the MP7. Some armoured, artillery, and mechanized infantry units still \r\nuse it as standard equipment with their armoured vehicles. As of 2006, \r\nthe German Army reported that only about 3,000 MP2s remained in active \r\nservice. As late as 2018, tank crew operators have been spotted wielding\r\n the MP2 during exercises in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNortheast UZI Maschinenpistole MP2A1 SMG GBB Airsoft Guns (Newest Ver.)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSEMI \u0026amp; FULLY Automatic Shooting Mode Gas Blow Back Rifle\u003cbr\u003eMost of the Airsoft Gun is made of Steel and has a parkerized finish\u003cbr\u003eThe best performance MP2A1 GBB\u003cbr\u003eHighly accurate.
