The '''Standschütze Hellriegel 1915''' is an Austro-Hungarian Heavy Sub-Machine Gun produced during World War 1, however the term "Sub-Machine Gun" wasn't coined by 1915 so it was refered to as an Ultra-Light Machine Gun.

The Standschütze Hellriegel 1915 is an Austro-Hungarian Heavy Sub-Machine Gun produced during World War 1, however the term "Sub-Machine Gun" wasn't coined by 1915 so it was refered to as an Ultra-Light Machine Gun. It could be feed from standard box magazines, or from a large drum magazine which was not actually connected to the weapon and instead fed the cartridges through a flexible chute.
