The Spectre is a submachine gun designed by Roberto Teppa and Claudio Gritti in the 1980s in Italy. It was manufactured by SITES in Turin and production continued till the year 1997. In addition, it was also manufactured by Greco Sport S.A., a firearms company in Switzerland.

The Spectre is an excellent security weapon. Despite being designed over twenty years ago, the Spectre has a futuristic design even by today’s standards. The weapon is very compact and lightweight. It measures just 580 mm and because of its foregrip and stockless design, it can be rapidly deployed for close-quarter combat.

The Spectre is chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum round and feeds from a 30 or 50-round magazine. Because the magazine uses quad-packing, the dimensions are very small and thus the Spectre is capable of offering impressive amount of firepower.

The Spectre is capable of firing 850 rounds per minute and at this rate the entire magazine gets emptied in just less than three seconds.

The Spectre has found service with several security agencies and may continue to be in service for a long time to come. Its popularity is not without reason—it is a double action gun which means it can be put to action just by pulling the trigger. This feature will be very helpful in close-quarter combat. In addition, the Spectre doesn’t accidentally discharge even when hit on something solid.
