SAF

FAMAE SAF was constructed by Chilean company FAMAE in 1993 and based on SIG 540.The SAF SMG is in service with Chilean Armed Forces and Police.Technically, the SAF is a recoil operated select fire gun, firing from closed bolt. The trigger/hammer group and floating firing pin design is similar to SIG 540, but the bolt is of new design. The receiver is similar in design to SIG 540, and is of folding type (upper and lower receivers are assembled by two steel pins, much like the M16 receiver does). The SAF has ambidextrous safety/fire selector switch with four settings – safe, single shot, 3 round bursts and full auto. SAF uses 20 or 30 rounds magazines in 9x19 Parabellum or .40 S&W .
