  • Taurus CT-40
rdfs:comment
  • The Taurus CT-40 is a semiautomatic derivation of the MT-40 submachine manufactured by Forjas Taurus in Brazil. It was developed for Brazil's law enforcement agencies to compliment their domestically produced 7.62 FAL battle rifles. The use of a pistol-caliber carbine allowed for greater range and firepower compared to a handgun, without having to resort to a powerful, long-range rifle cartridge. It is unknown whether any select-fire CT-40s were ever produced.
