This makes the weapon one of the slimmest submachineguns in the world allowing total comfort and without hindrance of movement when carried or deployed into action.Īn ideal submachinegun must always function in rain, dust, sand, in cold climates, in jungle or other severe climatic conditions. For this reason, the Spectre’s thickness has been kept within 35 mm even with the metal stock folded. The handiness of a submachinegun is one of its important features. This weapon has all the unique features of the submachinegun model including the folding stock and pistol grip but lacking the fire selector. This is the versatile semi-auto Police Compact Carbine (PCC System) with its awesome 50-shot magazine. The advantage of maximum capacity in a weapon that fires 10-15 shot per second is self-explanatory. The Spectre magazine is only slightly thicker than normal double column type, but the same in length of 21 cm containing 50 rounds instead of 30. The Soumi system however has two separate rows of double column arrangement and individual followers separated by a center wall in the middle of the magazine tube. The Spectre features a patented four-file magazine using a single follower that is likely inspired by the 1931 Finnish Soumi submachinegun design. To complement its radically new trigger lockwork, the Spectre was designed with ambidextrous controls to accommodate both left and right handed users. The double action trigger mechanism assures instant readiness without having to manipulate separate safety mechanisms other than pulling the trigger. It fires only if and when the operator intends to shoot. The Spectre is truly an error-proof submachinegun. The incorporation of a unique double action trigger mechanism and a decocking lever, makes it possible to lower the hammer on a loaded round allowing the weapon to be carried loaded with virtually no chance for an accidental discharge. Similar classes of weapons may likely fail if dropped, jarred, hit etc. The Spectre offers maximum safety and instant readiness by eliminating unnecessary manually operated mechanism that would normally prevent accidental discharges in all type of combat scenarios. The initial result from these advantages is extra-ordinary accuracy and the possibility of being able to fire the weapon accurately with one hand in the event of an emergency.

The excellent stability results in an absence of climb with only minimal vibration during full automatic fire. In addition, the three-action movement provides the weapon an exceptionally smooth firing cycle. Spectre is the first automatic weapon in the world firing 900 rpm with three-action blow-back firing system.Ĭonsequently, the weapon fires from a close-bolt principle assuring less mechanical distraction during firing as opposed to an “open-bolt” system incorporating heavy breech block mechanism.

The weapon brings together a series of unique technical innovations, making it a revolutionary “new submachinegun” – more effective and safer than any weapon in its class. The Spectre submachinegun represents the most radical close-quarter fourth generation submachinegun today. The actual production of the weapon did not start until 1985. The first pre-production model of the 9mm Spectre submachinegun was introduced at the 1983 AUSA convention in Washington. These findings can lead to the identification of the characteristics from which we can develop and create the mechanical aids (weapon and ammunition) as efficient as possible to overcome an aggressor or save lives.Ī semi-automatic pistol version of the Spectre minus the fire selector, folding stock and front grip. We must consider the psycho-physical reaction capability of a man under attack, the surprise factor, the effectiveness of training, the panic factor, the effect of panic on motion co-ordination, reaction time under extreme stress, reflex reactions and psychological conditioning. It is very important to understand the implications of close-range combat (40-10 meters). This analysis should not begin with the weapon, or ammunition, but the user himself. The only adequate solution to a problem on which men’s lives or even the destiny of a nation is at stake, lies primarily in a careful analysis of the relationship between the weapon and his user as well as the result of their interaction. The question raised more often in combat or defence at close-range cannot be answered merely by technological research and development of weaponry and ammunition. A demonstrator model of the Sites Spectre showing its innovative design – a perfect example of an ultra modern fourth generation submachinegun.
