Agram 2000

The Agram 2000 is a Croatian submachine gun inspired by Beretta's model M12. The name "Agram" is the old German name for Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. It was originally developed in the 1990s in response to a Croatian Army need for a submachine gun during the Croatian War of Independence. It was never officially adopted by the Croatian Army. Infamously unreliable in the war period due to its poorly constructed magazines, it would often fail to feed rounds from the magazine. Mainly produced between 1990 and 1993, only a few more examples have been produced since 1997. It has become notorious for use by organized crime in Eastern Europe.

Specifications
Agram 2000 is a closed-bolt, hammer-fired, simple blowback submachine gun chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge. Some sources report that it has a rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute. The barrel is slightly longer and a thread-on barrel sleeve is included to enable the attachment of a silencer or a muzzle brake. The barrel is vented just in front of the chamber, to reduce regular 9x19mm ammunition to subsonic velocity, and the suppressor telescopes back of the barrel to reduce overall length. However, a thread-on barrel sleeve is also included with the gun which can be used in place of the suppressor to seal off the barrel vents and maintain full ammunition velocity. It uses a proprietary magazine design, with magazines of 15-, 22-, and 32-round capacity produced. == Variants ==
