The Pleter M91 is a Croatian submachine gun developed in 1991 by Oroplet, with approximately 4,500 units produced. It features a Sten-style bolt and action, with a grip and trigger assembly loosely derived from the MGV-176. The weapon is full-auto only, uses modified Uzi magazines, and lacks a manual safety, relying on the charging handle to lock the bolt. Its design philosophy emphasized simplicity, though it's more sophisticated than a basic Sten.

The Springfield Echelon, manufactured by HS Produkt, introduces a modular chassis system, moving away from traditional grip safeties for improved reliability in military/police applications. This design allows for easier importation into the US and facilitates modularity with different grip frames and slides. The pistol features a refined chassis, ambidextrous controls, and is optics-ready with included pin sets.

The HS95, developed by HS Produkt in Croatia, was a successor to the problematic PHP pistol. It featured an ambidextrous design, drawing inspiration from the Zastava CZ99 and Sig Sauer P229. Produced from 1995-1998 exclusively for the Croatian Army, it was later replaced by the HS2000.

This video explores the IM Metal VHS-1 prototype, a Tavor-influenced Croatian bullpup rifle designed with an integrated 40mm grenade launcher.

IM Metal later shifted focus, leading to the production VHS-1 and VHS-2 (Springfield Hellion).

The Agram 2000 is a Croatian submachine gun chambered in 9mm Parabellum, notable for its closed-bolt operation influenced by the TEC-9 and its unique ported barrel system designed for integral suppression. Produced in small workshops during the Croatian War of Independence, it was technically classified as a machine pistol due to its lack of a stock. Despite not being a standard military issue, it gained notoriety in the criminal underworld.
