The submachine gun Italian production "Specter M4"
Manufacturer software "Specter M4" - Italian company "SITES". The main purpose - weapon melee for police forces or armed forces. For the first time, Specter M4 was presented at the Washington Exhibition in 1983. Some constructive-technical solutions used to create a submachine gun, caused wide interest, as they were revolutionary at the time.
The main requirements for creating a submachine gun, - high technical readiness, instinctive aiming and firing with high density without reloading. PP "Specter M4" - almost the only submachine gun, which has a self-cocking mechanism. Used in military and police departments in Italy and some European countries.
Italian "SITES" classifies Specter M4 software as the fourth generation of software and demonstrates the features of a submachine gun:
- a simplified design, in which the mechanisms of automation work on the principle of free recoil of the shutter;
- accuracy of hits, which is ensured by minimizing the removal of the barrel when recoil upwards;
- almost completely eliminated vibration when shooting;
- the release of the trigger by the special lever, which removes the need to use a conventional fuse;
- self-cocked trigger, it allows instant use of weapons;
- 4-line magazine boxed execution capacity to 50 ammunition;
- elimination of overheating of the barrel during long shooting. It is provided with a sinusoidal cutting of the barrel channel and forced cooling.
The appearance of the Specter M4 software is standard for most weapons of this class.
Receiver with rectangular cross section and casing with holes made of extruded metal. On the casing of the barrel attached an additional handle to hold. Butt reclines up and folds forward.
The shot happens when the shutter is locked. In the submachine gun, the designers used a percussion mechanism with a trigger and an original double-action trigger.
To make a shot, it is necessary to withdraw and lower the cocking handle, which will lead to the closure of the bolt, which is affected by the return spring, filling the ammunition in the chamber.
The trigger will be in the cocked position. Pressing the special lever will set the trigger in motion, and it will gently fall before reaching the shutter. This will ensure the safety of moving weapons.
Pressing the trigger will release the trigger, which, under the influence of the mainspring, starts moving forward and acting on the firing pin. The shot is made instantly after the bolt is locked.
The shutter, making its way back and forth when firing, causes the air flow to pass along and inside the bore, which significantly reduces the overheating of the entire barrel and decreases the likelihood of self-activation of ammunition in the chamber during long firing. External protection of the barrel - perforated steel casing. Sinusoidal cutting of the channel reduces the friction of the bullet during the passage of the barrel, which leads to a decrease in the heating temperature of the barrel when firing.
Distinctive design feature - there is no customary fuse, but there is a safety stop. The stopper allows you to lock the trigger against accidental operation.
The mechanism of double action descent provides instant opening of fire and does not require the execution of additional actions with the weapon.
Translator of fire: upper position - single fire, lower position - continuous fire.
The claims of the Italian developers on the application of the new approach in creating the Specter M4 software are quite reasonable.
Instinctive control - no need to think about the position of the fuse and the implementation of other actions with weapons for shooting. Just pull the trigger, and the fire from a submachine gun occurs instantly.
This feature of the submachine gun is ideal for using Specter M4 software for special operations.
