The Brügger & Thomet MP9 (Machine Pistol 9mm) is a machine pistol designed and manufactured by Brügger & Thomet of Switzerland. The MP9 is a selective-fire 9x19mm Parabellum caliber machine pistol. It uses 15, 20, 25, 30 round detachable box magazines. The MP9 is a development of the Steyr TMP. Differences from the TMP include a stock that folds to the right side of the weapon, an integrated Picatinny rail, and a new trigger safety.
There is a semi-automatic version called the TP9, and TP9SF is its selective-fire variant, meaning that they have a underbarrel MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rail instead of the MP9s foregrip

The Colt 9mm SMG is blowback operated rather than the conventional direct impingement gas operation of the AR-15 series rifles, and it fires from a closed bolt.
The overall aesthetics are relatively similar to most AR-15 rifles. Changes include an enlarged brass deflector which replaces the standard AR-15 brass deflector. The magazine well of the receiver is modified using a special adaptor to allow the usage of smaller 9mm magazines. Factory Colt 9mm SMGs are equipped with a 10.5 inch length barrel and M16A1 style upper receiver. The magazines are a copy of the Israeli UZI SMG magazine with a modified locking slot to fit the AR-15's different magazine release button.
All Colt 9mm SMGs have an M16 style upper receiver, which means they feature a fixed carry handle with A1 sights and no forward assist. Current Colt production models are theRO635 which features a Safe/Semi/Full Auto selective fire trigger group and the RO639 which features a Safe/Semi/3 round Burst selective fire trigger group. Both are equipped with a 10.5 inch length barrel. The 633 was a modified compact version with a 7 inches (180 mm) barrel and simplified front sight post used by the DEA.
The latest version of the 635 is simply marked SMG 9mm NATO.

Uzi
The Uzi (Hebrew: עוזי‎, officially cased as UZI) is a related family of open bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns. Smaller variants are considered to be machine pistols. The Uzi was one of the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design which allows for the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip for a shorter weapon, a design not seen since the Japanese Type II machine pistol.
The first Uzi submachine gun was designed by Major Uziel Gal in the late 1940s. The prototype was finished in 1950; first introduced to IDF special forces in 1954, the weapon was placed into general issue two years later. The Uzi has found use as a personal defense weapon by rear-echelon troops, officers, artillery troops and tankers, as well as a frontline weapon by elite light infantry assault forces.
The Uzi has been exported to over 90 countries. Over its service lifetime, it has been manufactured by Israel Military Industries, FN Herstal, and other manufacturers. From the 1960s through the 1980s, Uzi submachine guns were sold to more military and police markets than any other submachine gun ever made

Swedish submachine gun
The Saab Bofors CBJ MS Personal-Defence Weapon (PDW) was first shown in August 2000. It is an unusual weapon in several respects, not least because it is meant to fulfil the roles of PDW, assault weapon and light support weapon (LSW). It is also capable of being field-converted to fire one of two types of ammunition. For the purely military role, the CBJ MS fires a new 6.5 × 25 mm CBJ cartridge; but by simply changing the barrel, it can fire 9 × 19 mm Parabellum ammunition for police, training and other operations. The 6.5 × 25 mm CBJ cartridge has the same overall dimensions as the 9 × 19 mm cartridge and generates the same level of firing impulse. The projectile is a tungsten insert held in a plastic sabot, fired at a high muzzle velocity (815 m/s) with the ability to defeat current and future body armours. It is claimed to be effective against lightly armoured vehicles such as armoured personnel carriers (APCs). Advantages claimed for the 6.5 × 25 mm CBJ cartridge include a high impact velocity, a high hit probability due to the flat trajectory, high energy transfer to the target, and low levels of barrel wear and corrosion. The cartridge case is aluminium. Each 6.5 × 25 mm CBJ cartridge weighs 4.5 g and has an overall length of 29.7 mm. The projectile weight is 2 g. The combat range of the cartridge is stated to be up to 400 m.

MP 5

The Heckler & Koch MP5 (from German: Maschinenpistole 5, "machine pistol model 5") is a 9mm submachine gun of German design, developed in the 1960s by a team of engineers from the German small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH (H&K) of Oberndorf am Neckar.
The MP5 is currently one of the most widely used submachine guns in the world, having been adopted by numerous law enforcement agencies and special forces groups. In the 1990s, Heckler & Koch developed the Heckler & Koch UMP, the MP5's successor, though both remain in production.
