MGP-15 submachine gun: Difference between revisions

Removed reference to "forward facing magazine", because it doesn't make any sense. The gun has a standard, vertical "thru-grip" box magazine. If it means that the bullets point forward, that's pretty standard and unremarkable. |

The MGP-15 is a submachine gun designed for issue to special forces made by SIMA-CEFAR,[4] updated with a longer barrel and other features. The name was changed from previous MGP models due to modifications, including a change to a barrel with a threaded muzzle, usually fitted with a screwed-on muzzle cap, that allows a suppressor to be quickly screwed on.[5]
Design
Like all MGP submachine guns, the weapon can utilize Uzi submachine gun magazines.[5][6] 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]
