Femaru KGP-9

The FÉG KGP-9 is a classic blowback operated sub-machine gun. What makes it stand apart from innumerable other weapons using this system of operation is the fact that it is hammer-fired and therefore fires from a closed bolt. The overall external impression of the gun is that of a scaled down AK, with a front and rear trunnion, a magazine well riveted to the lower receiver, and a fire control group held in place by retaining pins. Similarly, both the method of top cover retention – held in place by the recoil spring via a guide rod – and the position of the magazine release catch are as per any other AK derivative. The charging handle is located on the left-hand side and the KGP-9 has no bolt catch. After the last round is fired, the magazine follower will block the bolt in its forward movement. Internally, the KGP-9 exhibits some direct influence from the UZI design. The telescopic bolt wraps around the chamber and part of the barrel, reducing the overall length and providing the weapon with very good balance and remarkable stability during automatic fire.
