Guns are pretty cool - there's no doubt about it. Despite your political stance or views
on controlling the things - as a machine, they're pretty damn impressive. What's even
more impressive? A gun that packs a punch like a rifle and portability like a handgun.
That's where the submachine gun comes into play- today, let's take a look at the top
seven coolest SMGs.
Number seven - the PP-91 KEDR.
This Russian-made 9mm SMG has been used in service since 1994. Originally developed from
an old prototype developed in the 1970s, it has since been adopted by the Russian Ministry
of Internal Affairs. Designed by the same man that developed the SVD sniper rifle, Yevgeny
Dragunov, it's an easily manufactured selective fire weapon thats blowback operated and fires
from a closed bolt (which allows for more accurate shooting than that of an open bolt
design). Weighing only about 3.5 pounds (or about 1.5kg) due to its stamped sheet steel
construction, it's capable of firing semi-automatic single shots and fully automatic fire at 800
rounds per minute. Not bad for a little guy, right?
Number six - the Heckler & Koch MP5.
So technically, there's over 100 variants of this classic German 9mm SMG, but let's
just take a look at this powerful little badass in general. Renowned for being one of the
most widely used SMGs in the entire world, over 40 nations and a huge variety of security,
intel, law and military enforcement agencies have employed the power of the MP5. In fact,
North American SWAT teams prefer it. The primary example of this gun family is the MP5A2, which
boasts a lightweight design, an air-cooled system and closed-bolt design (the selective
fire delayed blowback operates a 9x19mm Parabellum with a roller-delayed bolt). The hammer firing
mechanism makes this one a definite favorite - but oddly, nowhere near our top pick.
Number five - the Steyr AUG.
Another classic! The Steyr AUG is still in use as the standard small arm of the Austrian
forces and other various police enforcements. However - it doesn't stop there - it's also
been adopted by the armed forces of over 10 countries. Although many versions of the AUG
are considered assault rifles, the 9mm version is classified as a submachine gun. Originally
being designed in the 1960s - its german name translates to "universal army rifle". Firing
from a closed bolt in a conventional gas-piston operated action, it was designed to be quickly
adopted to different barrel lengths and profiles - meeting the needs of it's demanding customers!
Number four - the KRISS Vector.
Like many of the guns on today's list, the KRISS Vector is part of a larger family of
weaponry - all based upon KRISS USA's parent submachine gun design. Designed in 2006 to
reduce the perceived recoil and muzzle climb, it employs an unconventional delayed blowback
system and inline features that make it more than just a little impressive. The articulated
action - nicknamed the KRISS Super V System (or KSVS for short), allows the bolt and an
inertia block to move downward into a recess behind the magazine well (supposedly transmitting
the energy downward to reduce the recoil). The newer versions boast Glock 17 magazines
and 9x19mm high-capacity capabilities. In other words, stay clear.
Number three - the FN P90.
Manufactured and designed by FN Herstal in Belgium, the FN P90 is actually classified
as a personal defense weapon that was created as a direct response to NATO's requests that
9x19mm Parabellum firearms be replaced. This powerful but compact firearm has been loved
by special forces, counter-terrorist groups, vehicle crews, crew-served weapon operators
and even support personel. First developed in 1986, its production wrapped in 1990 after
some modifications. The PR90 TR model (and subsequent PS90 models) feature a triple rail
interface (to employ mounting accessories like optical and night sights). Versatile,
punchy and one hell of a way to kick off our bottom 3.
Number two - the PP-2000.
Designed and made by the KBP Instrument Design Bureau in 2000, this Russian SMG is a one
of the two standard SMGs adopted as standard weaponry by the Russian police force. Operating
as a conventional blowback weapon, it only weighs 3.3lbs when unloaded - but don't let
it fool you, this thing hits heavy. Designed to be optimal as a close-quarters combat weapon,
its chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum and utilizes 9×19mm 7N21 and 7N31 armor-piercing versions
of the cartridge. Its unconventional rear mounted 44-round magazine serves double purpose
as a stock, while the charging handle folds in when unused. This thing brings you power
when you need it most!
Number one - the Heckler & Koch MP7.
More colloquially referred to as the MP7, this German made beast boasts a HK 4.6x30mm
chambered cartridge that was designed to meet NATO standards which called for better body
armor shredding capabilities. After first going into production in 2001, its been revised
and improved - now existing as the MP7A1 and the MP7A2. Although it's more than capable
of destroying a huge array of body armoring, the small design and high level of flexibility
allow it to also be used as a a personal defence weapon that effectively replaces pistols and
full sized rifles. With a short stroke piston gas system, near-proprietary ammunition and
an ambidextrous fire selector, this beast can even be fired one-handed. Light polymer
and compact designs accentuate its already beastly reputation - making it today's clear
winner.
