Today, although it is difficult to compete with assault rifles, submachine guns still have an important role in the task force.
Today, although it is difficult to compete with the guns, submachine guns still have an important role in the task force. According to National Interest, this is the 5 most popular and dangerous submachine in the world.
FN P90
Developed by FN Herstal - one of the world's most diversified weapons manufacturing companies, the P90 has a breakthrough design compared to other submachine guns. The P90 is designed in a 'bullpup' style (putting the bullet tape behind the trigger), making the gun shorter and lighter and still retaining the length of the barrel. According to data from the manufacturer, P90 is about 50cm long but still has barrels up to 26.4cm.
P90 uses bullet tape made of polymer material containing 50 tablets placed on top of the gun barrel. This design solves the problem of 'entanglement' of ammunition when moving or carrying. Reportedly, FB Herstal's submachine gun has a maximum firing rate of 900 tablets per minute, using 5.7x28mm bullets the same size as their Five-seven pistols because of 9mm Parabellum bullets.
Mk. 18 Mod 0
Although technically, Mk. 18 Mod 0 is not a submachine gun because this gun uses 5.56mm ammunition of M4 Carbine assault rifle, the gun was developed to replace Heckler & Koch MP-5 with a hot length of only 26cm, making the gun very Compact, suitable for task forces like Navy SEAL. Currently, Mk. 18 Mod 0 does not integrate the handle like before but instead is Picatinny rail to help soldiers can add laser lights, flashlights, red point viewfinder, . According to National Interest, this makes the gun become a weapon powerful and effective in cramped combat environments such as urban or inside warships.
Heckler and Koch MP-7
With the appearance of the famous Uzi gun, the Heckler & Koch MP-7 was developed at the same time as the PN Herstal P90. Although it looked like a large pistol, the inside of the gun was a wonder of military weapon design.
The Mp-7 shot completely automatically, with the magazine inside the handle like an Uzi or many other pistols. This design helps to reduce the length of the gun to 40.5cm (63.5cm if pulled out by the gun). Mp-7 uses 4.6x30mm bullets developed specifically to maximize armor penetration within 200 meters. In particular, guns can use cartridges 20-30-40 pellets depending on the needs of users. It is known that Mp-7 is trusted by many world task forces and is believed to have been used in the raid against Osama bin Laden (although this person was shot by another gun).
Heckler and Koch MP-5
Judged as the 'gold standard' of submachine guns for decades, the Heckler & Koch MP-5 is still used by many police and military forces around the world. Originally a miniature version of the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle, the MP-5 was about 68.5cm long (22.5cm long), using a magazine of 30 rounds of 9mm Parabellum ammunition.
One notable variation of this model is that the MP-5k uses shorter barrels and an MP-5SD with silencer. It is known that MP-5 became famous after being used by British commander to rescue hostages in the Iranian Embassy in London. Since then, guns have often been used in hostage rescue and other special missions.
Vityaz
For decades, the Red Army and later the Russian army all relied on the AKSU-74 - a gun based on the AK-74 with a short barrel and a fold. But in the 2000s, Russians found a replacement for AKSU-74: submachine gun PP-19-01 Vityaz.
Like the AKSU-74 and the MP-5, Vityaz is a simpler, more "clean" version of an assault rifle. The gun uses bullets for pistols, has a flexible grip and adjustable chin, an overall length of 68.5cm, weighs about 2.8kg (does not contain bullets). Vityaz has a firing rate of 800 capsules per minute, an effective 200 meters. Like many other weapons in the world, Rosoboronexport - the father of Vityaz - provides guns with Picatinny rails to install the necessary accessories.
