#HomemadeSMG

Welcome to another installment of Underground Arms Watch series where we take a look at criminally made and modified firearms seized throughout the world.

This unusually configured homemade 9mm submachine gun was seized by Israeli police last year while executing a search of a suspect’s home.

Sent in is a concept mock up for a basic ‘easily made’ compact machine pistol. The design outwardly is a near copy of the Armenian K6-92 and early Chechen made ‘Borz’ derivatives. All components inside the receiver are laminated from square tubing with a portion of the bolt mass being an external plate which doubles as a cocking handle. The prototype was made as a display dummy only for obvious legal reasons.

The below are machine pistols of a design that were being produced and distributed by criminal networks in Sweden. Apparently specifications for many of the parts were simply sent off to various machine shops and ordered as ‘boat components’. All examples are smooth bore, chambered in 9mm luger and full auto only.
