   The Spectre M4 submachine gun was developed in Italy by Roberto Teppa and Claudio Gritti in the mid 1980s. It was produced by SITES factory. This weapon was designed primarily for close combat.

   This SMG has a double action trigger group, without manual safety. The Spectre can be safely carried with loaded chamber and fired immediately. An ambidextrous cocking handle is located on top of the receiver, so the weapon can cocked using either hand.

   The Spectre M4 SMG is fed from 30- or 50-round capacity magazines. It is worth mentioning that civilian versions of this weapon are available with 5-, 10- or 15-round magazines.
