MP-9 9x21mm MACHINE PISTOL

(Version 1.0)

RPG Stats by Harvey Neil Johnston ([email protected])

Inspired by the venerable British Sterling Mk 7 Paratrooper's Machine Pistol, the MP-9 was designed to be more comfortable to both hold and fire. The MP-9 is capable of using both normal and magnum shells, able to fire both 9x21mm  Largo (first developed in the 1990s) and the Parabellum 9x19mm ammunition by using a bolt based upon pump-action shotguns. It was popular and was often used as a sidearm by both military police and mecha pilots.
