SPECTRE M4 SUBMACHINE PORTABLE
It provides the military, security and law enforcement with automatic firepower and lethal body-stopping capabilities of a 9mm pistol cartridge in a highly portable frame. Once deployed, the weapon can be used with a traditional three-point grip.īoth front and rear mounted iron sights allow for relatively accurate fire at medium to close range, although this weapon is almost exclusively designed for close quarters combat. When folded, the stock rests neatly against the weapon to be as compact as possible. The magazine is fed into a queue chute located directly in front of the trigger group.Ī foldable wire (including the stock) sits above the receiver and is hinged at one end. The charging handle is installed on the left side of the fuselage, and the ejection port is installed on the right side. An optional vertical fore grip can be added under the forearm for supporting hands.īy convention, the pistol grip hangs below the rear of the stamped steel receiver, with a large trigger ring for gloved hands. The front end covers the entire barrel section and is usually partially exposed in other submachine gun designs. The front baffle has four large slots on each side for proper heat dissipation, using an internal bolt assembly as part of a "force-pull" system that pumps cooler air into and around the barrel. SITES ceased production in 1997, after which the manufacture of the future Spectre fell to Gritti's Swiss brand Greco Sport SA.Įxternally, the Spectre has a very clean futuristic design with a very short casing, integrated pistol grip unit and straight magazine. Production continued until 2001.ĭespite its promising properties, the Ghost was only procured in large quantities by Italian special forces and the Swiss army.
(Societa Italiana Tecnologie Speciali, S.p.A.) brand label based in Turin, Italy. The design of the Spectre is credited to Italian gunmakers Roberto Teppa and Claudio Gritti, whose work spanned the early 1980s until mass production began in 1984 under SITES S. The weapon became the flagship of the US assault weapons ban movement in the 1990s, limiting its reach in the civilian market and later circulated by a handful of special forces, law enforcement and security companies.Īlthough discontinued, the type now (2013) exists globally (albeit in limited numbers) and is proving popular among companies that rely on bulky single-fire power in a compact, highly portable form. Five clips are required to completely refill one magazine.The Spectre M4 is a submachine gun of Italian origin that represents a highly compact automatic weapon system for use by military, law enforcement and security personnel.
SPECTRE M4 SUBMACHINE FULL
A full charger clip with 8 rounds is inserted into the guide, empty magazine located at the end of the guide, and then pushed forward, over the cartridges, loading magazine and ejecting empty clip. This tool consists of a charging clip guide, attached to the stock. Another unusual feature is a magazine loading tool, built into the right side of the shoulder stock. This feature apparently was added to provide better cover when firing from prone position (with magazine located horizontally to the left), and more comfortable carry and firing from standing or kneeling positions (with magazine turned down). One peculiar feature of the CZ 247 is that magazine housing is able to rotate and put magazine either below the gun or to the left of the gun, and CZ 247 submachine gun could be fired when magazine is in either position. Feed is from double stack detachable box magazines. CZ 247 submachine gun is fitted with slim and relatively short wooden stock with a semi-pistol grip. Mode of fire is selected by trigger pull, short and light trigger pull produces single shots, while a full-length trigger pull results in full automatic fire. The CZ 247 submachine gun is a simple blowback operated weapon, firing from an open bolt, in full automatic or semi-automatic mode. A prototype variant, firing 7,62×25 TT ammunition, was produced as CZ 347 but it was never made in numbers. Despite of that, it was briefly manufactured during late 1940s as CZ 247 and sold in noticeable quantities to certain African and South American countries. Designated at the factory as CZ 47/1 and CZ 47/2, it was submitted to Czechoslovak army tests but eventually rejected. CZ factory in Strakonice (Ceska Zbrojovka Strakonice) developed a variant of the pre-war Vz.38 submachine gun, chambered for 9×19 Luger ammunition, with minor alterations. Shortly after WW2 Czechoslovak Ministry of Defense (MNO) issued requirements for a new submachine gun, firing 9×19 Luger / Parabellum ammunition.
