The ČZW 9 was a Czech submachine gun designed and manufactured by Czech Weapons s.r.o in prototype form only during the early 2000s.
History[]
The developmental history of the ČZW 9 is not well documented; however, it is touted as being a "light, compact, full-auto weapon with an originally designed action"[1] It, like most other ČZW weapons, appears to be a testbed for delayed blowback technology.
The ČZW 9 was supposedly tested against various other similar weapons and was said to be more accurate than most of the weapons in the trials.[1]
Design Details[]
The ČZW 9 is a compact submachine gun using lever delayed blowback. The weapon features a folding stock; the weapon is said to be easily used when the stock is folded, allowing it to be used akin to a pistol.[1] The weapon is select fire and fires from an closed bolt.[2] The weapon features fixed sights which are set to 50 metres (160 feet; 55 yards).
