The Colt 9mm SMG is a closed bolt, blowback operated SMG, rather than the conventional direct impingement gas operation of the standard 5.56×45mm M16 type rifle. [6] As a closed bolt weapon, the Colt SMG is inherently more accurate than open bolt weapons such as the Israeli UZI. [7] The overall aesthetics are identical to most M16 type rifles.
CAR-15 Submachine Gun. As early as 1964, United States Navy SEALs were testing prototypes of what would become the Model 607 SMG. [2] Colt's manufactured approximately 50 of these for evaluation. Most were issued to Navy SEALs and Army Special Forces, though some were also given to Army K-9 units. In 1965, Colt introduced the Model 607 ...

The Canadian company Colt Canada (formerly Diemaco) licensed production of a rifle (Colt Model 715) and carbine (Colt Model 725), but later went on to produce an entire line of AR-15/M16 pattern weapons developed independently. In May 2005, Colt's Manufacturing Company acquired Diemaco, and the name was changed to Colt Canada.
A Mini Uzi and a Heckler & Koch MP5K, two common submachine guns. A submachine gun (SMG) is a magazine-fed automatic carbine designed to fire handgun cartridges.The term "submachine gun" was coined by John T. Thompson, the inventor of the Thompson submachine gun, [1] to describe its design concept as an automatic firearm with notably less firepower than a machine gun (hence the prefix "sub-").
The Rock Island Arsenal headed up the project working with the M3 submachine gun (a World War II-era SMG), a Firing Port Weapon created by Heckler & Koch based on the HK33, and a modified M16 rifle pattern weapon. The qualities of the M16 were the most promising, and by 1974 it had been designated the XM231.
Colt's first two models produced after the acquisition of the rifle from ArmaLite were the 601 and 602, and these rifles were in many ways clones of the original ArmaLite rifle (in fact, these rifles were often found stamped Colt ArmaLite AR-15, Property of the U.S. Government caliber .223, with no reference to them being M16s).
Since Auto-Ordnance had no tooling for production of the newly developed Thompson submachine gun, John T. Thompson, in August 1920, entered into contract with Colt's to manufacture 15,000 Thompson 1921 submachine guns. The contract was signed on August 18, 1920. Colt's tooled up and produced the 15,000 units between April 1921 and March 1922.
