The Romanian Orita Model 1941/48 submachine gun, designed by Captain Marin Orita, saw service in WW2. While the 1941 original is rare, the 1948 update improved safety features, including a grip safety, and simplified manufacturing. It's an open-bolt, blowback-operated 9mm SMG with a 32-round magazine and a unique folding charging handle, known for its robust, albeit expensive, construction.
