The Bergmann MP18 is often regarded as the first, but the Beretta Model 1918 was made a little earlier, adapted successfully from the failed Villar-Perosa gun of 1915. Some may consider the Villar-Perosa to be the first because it fired pistol ammo automatically, but it was a bizarre weapon consisting of two guns together, strapped to a soldier's chest with a harness or mounted on a bicycle, and fired by thumb triggers.
