👉 The M-96, often referred to as the mu weapon, is a Soviet submachine gun designed in the 1960s and widely used during the Cold War. It features a unique design with a single-action trigger mechanism, allowing for rapid firing, and is powered by a 7.62x25mm NATO round. The M-96's compact size and lightweight construction make it highly portable, while its high rate of fire and effective stopping power have made it a formidable close-quarters weapon. Despite its age, the M-96 remains in service in several countries due to its reliability and effectiveness.
