SPECTRE M4 SMG MAGAZINES PORTABLE
It provided military, security and police elements with automatic firepower coupled with the lethal man-stopping capabilities of the 9mm pistol cartridge within a very portable frame. Iron sights were affixed to the front and rear for relatively accurized shooting up to medium-short ranges though the weapon was almost exclusively intended for close-quarters battle.
When extended, the weapon could be used in a traditional three-point hold. When folded over, the stock sat cleanly against the weapon to promote a most compact form. A collapsible wire stock (with included butt) was positioned over the receiver, hinged along one end. Magazines were inserted into the awaiting well positioned just ahead of the trigger group. The charging handle was set to the left side of the body with the ejection port fitted along the right. The pistol grip was slung under the rear portion of the stamped-steel receiver in the usual way with a large trigger loop designed for a gloved hand. An optional forward vertical grip could be added under the forend for the support hand. The forend covered the entire section of barrel usually partially exposed on other submachine gun designs. The forend featured four large slots to each side for proper heat dissipation with the internal bolt assembly used as part of a "forced-draft" system, pumping in cooler air into and around the barrel.
