History

The MP-57 was made by Eugène Fønss to fill in a gab he felt existed in infantry capabilities. During decolonialization conflicts in Mauria he noticed that the forces he commanded lacked effective mobile fire to supress enemy forces, using the Tjenestegevær 05 and the ISMG 20 Machine gun saw forces being unable to move and attack effectively. While Lyngaardian forces did use the Model 30 Submachine Gun it was commonly meligned for being too heavy, too long, and unreliable. When Fønss returned home he set out to design a better infantry fighting weapon.

Fønss would make several prototypes in his back yard, by his 3rd prototype he had also started writing for Jægeren Månedlig. He would make articles detailing his work monthly. this would get the attention of Karl Wiehe
