SIG MP-41 Neuhausen Submachine Gun is a Swiss submachine gun designed by Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft in 1941. It was one of submachine gun candidates for Swiss Army during World War II, but was not chosen. Instead, the Furrer MP41/44 was adopted, mainly due to Colonel Adolf Furrer's influence in the Swiss Army at the time.[1]
The MP41 is a rare firearm, with only about 200 samples ever produced.
