The Colt 9mm Submachine Gun is a lightweight, compact weapon encompassing the same straight line construction and design of the world renowned Colt M16 Rifle. This straight line construction, coupled with the low recoil associated with 9mm ammunition, provides highly accurate fire with less muzzle climb, especially in full automatic fire. Less recoil also facilitates ease of training and improves accuracy. Like the M4 Carbine and Commando models, the Colt 9mm SMG fires from closed bolt, is equipped with a 4-position sliding buttstock and is readily field stripped without the need of special tools. Operation and training are similar to that of the M4 Carbine and M16 Rifle eliminating the need for substantial cross training.
