The Nazis are famous for inventing many strange and poisonous weapons to frighten the enemy and suffer great losses. Among these is the microgun inside the belt invented by Louis Marquis.
The microgun inside the belt is considered a rare and unique weapon of the Nazis. It is also known as the SS-Waffenakademie Koppelschloßpistole or belt gun.
This invention was invented by Louis Marquis and has 2 different versions.
In particular, a version has a 4-barreled design and uses 5.6 mm bullets. The other SS-Waffenakademie Koppelschloßpistole design has 2 barrels and uses 7.65 mm ammunition.
This special gun of Nazi Germany has a special firing mechanism inside. Specifically, this weapon is designed to fire as soon as the belt cover is opened.
SS-Waffenakademie Koppelschloßpistole is also designed to fire with a wire when the user raises his hand in surrender.
At that time, the rope will be stretched and the gun will open. As a result, the person standing opposite will be hit by a bullet.
This special gun invention was expected by the Nazis to equip SS and Gestapo forces to carry out secret missions.
Therefore, the Nazis produced prototype 2 versions of the SS-Waffenakademie Koppelschloßpistole in the years 1943 – 1944.
However, experts did not find any evidence that this weapon was widely produced by the Nazis and equipped for soldiers to use in practice.
Prior to this incident, some speculated that the small aerial weapon was manufactured and used because it did not work effectively when the components could malfunction and could not fire.
