Spectre M4

Small Arms And Sidearms

The Spectre M4 is an Italian submachine gun produced by the SITES factory in Turin, designed by Roberto Teppa and Claudio Gritti in the mid-1980s. Italian production ceased in 1997 with the closure of SITES, though small-scale production continued in Switzerland through Greco Sport S.A., a company founded by Gritti, until 2001. The compact, light weapon was designed for instant firepower in close-quarters combat, offered in four models with top-folding buttstocks and an optional forward handgrip, and built largely of steel with a polymer-overmolded grip and safety and magazine-release levers.
