@exploatores It's a totally-not-licenced domestic production that by pure coincidence happen to be 99.9% parts interchangeable (sans the rear sight bolt and nut), so obviously it can't be a rebadged UZI. That one part difference is in no way, shape or form a plausible deniability feature. And since there are no grind marks to remove the original badges, it's clear as daylight that these were locally produced. So obviously the Croats just "obtained enough UZI's to be able to work out the tolerances themselves and decided to copy everything exactly as to not introduce any new kinks". Whether or not the guy tasked with working out the measurements happened to have an uncle in Isreal, that he would casually phone while working the calipers, is anyone's guess and hence ultimately just conjecture and speculation.

@exploatores I think you missed the "Israeli foreign policy" joke in my statement :P This is obviously a "Uh, sanctions we don't want to get in trouble with are a bitch, so here are the exact blue prints of both the gun, the processes and the tool line"-move by Tel Aviv. Any decent existing manufacturer of industrial electrical components can carbon-copy an UZI pretty damn rapidly if they get that kind of help. If they got help down to the specific feeds and speeds for the milled parts it's no wonder they did it in 12 months.

@454FatJack If you don't specify the Carl Gustav model number people automatically think of the 84mm recoilless rifle.

Different countries have different rules for that.
