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.
