It had a 100 mm tube next to the handle angled with respect to the axis of the weapon. The MPA project had as an objective the reduction of the recoil in the grip area. It could charge magazines with 18, 25 and 40 cartridges. The Country, was a development of an official of the FAA taking as base to the Ingram M10.
