#Haga

In 1985, the LAPA concern made and association with the metallurgical company Haga (manufacturer of door locks, hinges, etc.), of Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro State, and a new group was formed, ENARM – Empresa Nacional de Armas. Another Nelmo Suzano design came up and materialized as one more interesting prototype. Simply called the MSM (Mini Sub Metralhadora, Mini Submachine Gun), design work on this 9x19mm gun started in February of that year and a prototype was ready by December. Once again, the designer counted on his long-time friend Luiz Gonçalves’ help in this new venture.

Today’s post on the work of Brazilian gun designer Nelmo Suzano (1930-2013) brings to light a somewhat unique 12-ga shotgun you TFB readers may have never heard about, the Pentagun.
