The Frommer Stop is a Hungarian semi-automatic pistol manufactured by FÉG. It is named after its designer, Rudolph Frommer, and was originally designed for use by the Royal Hungarian Army in 1912.
The Stop was the fourth in a line of pistols with similar design principals, and the most successful of Rudolph Frommer's designs. The Stop is unique for its use of a long-recoil action, in which the breech is locked during the entire action of recoil, and only separates once the bolt has fully traveled rearward. The Stop could also be converted to be a machine pistol. The pistol is mechanically complex and was thus difficult and expensive to manufacture. Nonetheless, around 360,000 were manufactured between 1912 and 1929. The Stop was widely used as a sidearm by Austria-Hungary during World War I and continued to see use throughout World War II.
A full-automatic version was also introduced in 1917, with an extended barrel and magazines. However, the stand-alone variant was found to be very rare. Much more common were bizarre variations of this design, turned upside down, with triggers transferred to the back of the grip (for convenient shooting from this position); these pistols was doubled, and mounted on a bipod. Wooden handles were also often removed as unnecessary. This strange decision was made to counter the Italian Villar-Perosa M1915; however, unsatisfied with this, the Austrians would later start simply making their own copies of the OVP M1915.
