It was made in the United Kingdom after World War II and was a prototype weapon never used as it was deemed impractical. It was designed for military policeman in post war Germany to be fired one handed. Only one of this gun was ever made and is currently held at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, United Kingdom.[2]
