MGV-176

Notes: This unusual submachinegun has a long history, beginning in the US in early 1960s as the Casull Carbine, then became the American 180 in the late 1960s (the first weapon at the time to be marketed to civilians with a laser pointer). The license was sold to Voere of Austria in 1972, who sold it to the Slovenian company in the mid-1980s. When the design reappeared in 1989 as the MGV-176, it had been out of production for over 10 years. Yugoslavian special operations forces adopted for limited use, and it was an item of curiosity to some collectors. The weapon is fed by a pan magazine on top of the receiver; this magazine is made from clear plastic. The capacity of this magazine is so large that about 4 minutes are required to fully reload an empty one. Though the .22 Long Rifle round used by the MGP-176 is of limited use on the modern battlefield, the weapon can become quite useful when the silencer is attached, allowing a high volume of quiet firepower to be produced.
