This video delves into the Finnish Jatimatic SMG, a submachine gun designed in the 1980s for security forces. It highlights the Jatimatic's innovative bolt design, which wraps around the barrel for a compact yet heavy bolt, and its angled travel to reduce muzzle climb. However, the description points out significant practical drawbacks, including the lack of a shoulder stock, forcing hip firing or sling use, and a poorly integrated sling attachment that doubles as a takedown catch, leading to accidental disassembly. Despite clever engineering, these issues ultimately limited its success.
