Ladislav Findorak's Prototype Lever-Delayed PDW
Submachine Guns
•
13m
This really neat compact PDW prototype was developed by Ladislav Findorak in the 1990s for a Czech military program, although nothing was adopted as a result. The lever-delayed system allows it to have a much lighter bolt and carrier than a typical blowback action, while also remaining very compact and with a surprisingly low rate of fire. Thanks to CZ for giving me access to this really neat prototype from their factory reference collection!
