Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MKE AT-94 9mm carbine?

The MKE AT-94 is a semi-automatic 9mm carbine produced in Turkey under license from Heckler & Koch (H&K). It is designed to be a civilian-legal clone of the MP5 submachine gun, imported by American Tactical Imports (ATI).

Why is the MKE AT-94 considered a 'project gun'?

Due to US 922r import regulations, the AT-94 arrives in a restricted configuration. Owners must replace a specific number of foreign parts with US-made components to legally add features like a retractable stock or standard magazines, increasing the overall cost and effort.

How accurate is the MKE AT-94?

Accuracy testing showed phenomenal results, with tight 5-round groups achieved at both 25 and 50 yards, even when using the firearm's iron sights, indicating excellent inherent precision.

What are the main drawbacks of the MKE AT-94?

The primary drawbacks identified are its significant weight (7 lbs 14 oz configured) for a 9mm carbine and the high total cost of ownership, including compliance parts, making it less practical for general defensive use compared to lighter, more modern options.
