Lists on the subject

The Agram 2000 is a Croatian submachine gun manufactured by the Vugrek company in Novi Golubovec.

history

The weapon was developed on the basis of the M12 model from the manufacturer Beretta . After the end of the Yugoslav wars , a large number of these weapons, originally produced for Yugoslav special forces, found their way onto the black arms markets in Western Europe. As standard, the gun was delivered with a silencer and two magazines as well as a suitable transport bag. Due to the shape of its transport bag, the weapon received the nickname piggy in the "weapon scene or in relevant circles" .

description

The Agramm 2000 is a recoil loader with an unlocked telescopic ground lock. It has neither a butt nor a shoulder rest, but is held with both hands. The cocking lever and the fire selector lever are on the left side of the weapon. A folding rear sight with two positions for a distance of 50 and 150 m serves as a sight. The cadence is higher than the initial model M12. The magazines are compatible with Uzi magazines. The weapon consists of only 56 metal parts, it can be easily dismantled and cleaned. The reliability is rated as poor.

variants

A further developed variant of the Agram 2000 bears the name Agram 2002. It differs from the Agram 2000 in that it does not have a fore grip, the clamping lever that can be operated with both hands and a sliding visor instead of the folding visor.
