This video delves into the Jatimatic, a unique Finnish Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) developed by Jari Timari. Despite its innovative design, featuring a stockless configuration and features to reduce muzzle climb, the Jatimatic only saw limited production of around 400 units and was not widely adopted. The description highlights its use of Swedish K magazines, its distinctive angled appearance for recoil management, and an integrated safety within the folding front grip. Production ceased in the late 1980s due to permit issues and a robbery, with subsequent attempts to revive the design as the GG-95 by Golden Gun also proving unsuccessful. The Jatimatic gained some recognition through its appearance in films like "Cobra" and "Red Dawn."
