The MGP-15 is a submachine gun designed for issue to special forces made by SIMA-CEFAR,[4] updated with a longer barrel and a forward-facing magazine. The name was changed to reflect some slight changes introduced during production, most noticeably the revision of the screwed-on muzzle cap to allow the installation of a suppressor.[5]
Design
Like all MGP submachine guns, the weapon can utilize Uzi submachine gun magazines.[6][5] A folding butt stock is provided, so arranged that with the butt folded along the right-hand side of the receiver the butt plate can act as a form of foregrip.[7]
Variants
- MGP-84
- MGP-14
- A semi-automatic version of the MGP-84, which has a folding forward grip.[6] Also known as the MGP-14 Micro[2] or as the MGP-14 Pistol.[3] For a time, it was known as the MGP-84C.[6]
