Well I think it should be an event weapon

then they should make it an czech event assaulter squad with voice line and uniforms :slight_smile:

Is there any source confirming more than 1 was built for trials?

(not that it matters for Enlisted, we literally have fake tanks which were never built like Hori, but still?)

What I see now suggests that only one prototype was built.

I think you should edit this line.

Yes I also haven’t GPTd anything about more than 1 being made for testing :smiley:

The number “240” was a typing mistake. I copied my template from another weapon and forgot to delete the 0 at the end - correction were made
I asked AI and that told me ≈ 24 were made. Additional the Gun Wiki spoke from "“The first prototypes were finished in either 1941 or 1942”. So basically “prototypes” means more then 1.

The only surviving specimen is in the Historical Institute of the Czech Armed Forces.

What is the source for this weapon firing in automatic? I’m pretty certain this thing was only semi-automatic.
