Battlefield 1 models: Standschütze Hellriegel M1915 PROPs

Finally got this one done. Shamefully there is very little info avaiable on this gun.
DICE also seems to have made the mistake of thinking the drum was connected to the weapon, whereas in reality it was held separately, the bullets fed by a flexible chute.

Includes:

Standschütze Hellriegel M1915 with mechanical bodygroups.
Separate model for the magazine
9x23mm Hellriegel round

Standschütze Hellriegel M1915

One of the first submachine guns ever created, the Hellriegel was in essence a machine gun firing pistol-caliber rounds. Developed for the Standschütze of Austria, by someone called Hellriegel, this weapon was tested in October 1915. Almost nothing is known about it, all the information found so far was taken from the photographs of this gun.
It was to feature a water-cooled barrel cover by a leather jacket, and feed from either a stick magazine or a flexible chute inside a drum separated from the weapon itself. Since all pictures of the gun only show the right side, the left side of this weapon is complete speculation.

Name: Standschütze Hellriegel M1915

Manufacturer: Unknown, possibly the Standschütze
Class: heavy submachinegun
Caliber: possibly 9x23mm Steyr

Ammunition type: detachable box magazine or flexible chute in a drum
Ammunition capacity: possibly 20 rounds for the stick magazine, possibly 160 rounds for the drum
weight: unknown, possibly over 15kg due to water cooling system

Please report any bugs you find.
