Koernke then examined submachine gun designs from World War II, including the British Sten gun, Russian PPS-43, and German Volksgrenadier weapons, highlighting how wartime production constraints led to simplified, mass-producible designs. He emphasized the importance of straight-case ammunition and blowback systems for reliability and ease of manufacture, and praised the Sten gun's distributed production model where civilians manufactured components in their homes and garages.
