The Taurus MT G2 line of submachine guns first
appeared in early 2011, apparently to replace older Taurus MT submachine
guns in same calibers. These weapons represent 2nd generation of Taurus submachine guns, hence the apparent G2 addition to the name. Compared to 1st
generation weapons, new Taurus MT G2 submachine guns offer more
noticeably lower and controllable rate of fire, better ergonomics and
probably more economical production, thanks to use of more modern
manufacturing techniques. It is yet to be seen if these weapons will be
adopted by any major force, though. Taurus also offers a semi-automatic
version of the G2 line, known as CT G2, which is intended primarily to
civilian and security markets.
The Taurus MT9 G2 and MT40 G2 sub-machine guns differ only in caliber.
Both weapons are built using simple blowback action and firing from
closed bolt for enhanced accuracy. Upper receiver is an extruded
aluminum unit, while lower receiver is made from polymer with steel
reinforcements where necessary. Weapon is fitted with ambidextrous
safety / fire mode selectors which allow for semi-automatic fire,
2-round burst mode and full-automatic fire. Bolt catch is provided to
hold the bolt open once the magazine is empty. Feed is from proprietary
double stack box magazines, holding 34 rounds of 9mm ammunition of 30 or
15 rounds of .40SW ammunition. Furniture includes AR-15 type pistol
grip and side-folding buttstock, made of plastic and adjustable for
length of pull. Top of upper receiver is provided with integral
Picatinny rail, and the MT G2 submachine guns are normally fitted with
iron sights; rear sight has two range settings, for 25 and 50 meters.
Additional mounting points for more Picatinny rails are provided on the
sides and on the bottom of the polymer forend.
