The Brazilian 9x19mm Uru SMG reloaded
The 9x19mm Uru submachine gun, created in the mid-1970s by Brazilian designer Olympio Vieira de Mello Filho and placed into series (though, limited) production in the early 1980s by Mekanika Indústria e Comércio Ltda. in Rio de Janeiro, has already been the subject of a number of printed and on-line articles from the eighties till now. Having myself produced most of them, I would recommend this one at Dan Shea’a Small Arms Review website ( https://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=2009) as the basic one in terms of historical and technical details within the space limitations available. In addition to that, Ian at Forgotten Weapons more recently added a very interesting video on the gun ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_dXVwZb33Q), having much earlier reproduced in FW one of my 1980s articles in Harris Publications’ FULL AUTO magazine. So, what’s new, then?
