In 1915, the German Army recognised the need for a new weapon that would help with the newly emerged trench warfare. Automatic fire and portability at the cost of range were the main goals. Attempts to make fully automatic versions of handguns like the Luger failed, and a completely new design was started upon. Several companies worked on designs, but the winners were Bergmann Waffenfabrik with what became the MP18,I. Hugo Schmeisser had originally designed it to use a 20 round box magazine, but this was changed to the more readily available Luger Trommel magazine.
