The Intratec Tec-38 is a unique two-shot derringer notable for its 1980s polymer construction and linear trigger. While innovative for its time, the design suffers from an excessively heavy trigger pull and internal components prone to breakage. Its operation involves a flip-open barrel assembly and a complex internal firing mechanism with a rocking lever selector.
The Interdynamic MP-9, a Swedish-designed submachine gun, was the precursor to the TEC-9.
