The Steyr MPi-69 is an Austrian submachine gun, often compared to the Uzi, known for its rarity. During range testing, it exhibited a surprisingly slow and controllable rate of fire, with minimal vertical bounce. A unique feature is its charging handle integrated into the front sling swivel, which includes a locking tab to prevent accidental bolt retraction during hip-firing techniques.
The Steyr MPi-69, developed in the 1960s, is an Austrian submachine gun heavily influenced by the Uzi design. It features a unique charging handle integrated into the front sling swivel, proprietary 25/32-round magazines, and a three-position wire stock. While it served the Austrian Army until 1981, it is now a rare firearm, especially transferable examples in the US.
