Historical profile
Developed by CZ-UB from an original project by Slovak firm Laugo Arms, it entered production in 2009 and was adopted by Czech special forces and many European police units.
Its polymer modular design, blowback action and quick conversions (barrel, stock, ambidextrous selector) make it a modern standard among Western PDW/SMGs.
It is exported to over 30 countries in military and civilian pistol/carbine configurations, and equips units in Egypt, Vietnam and the Italian Army (specialist roles), among others.
