The Spectre in use.
The Spectre M4 was designed in the early 80s and put into production at the Turin-based SITES firm. It was marketed primarily for law enforcement and special forces use, and was bought in limited numbers by the Italian and Swiss militaries. Production ceased in 1997, with civilian "sporter" models continuing to be produced until 2001.

It features a foldable stock and ambidextrous controls; the bolt catch and selector lever are able to be engaged from either side of the weapon. It is just under 14 inches with the stock folded and accepts 30 and 50 round 9mm magazines using a four column stacking system, and the magazine release is a lever near the bottom of the magazine well, in front of the trigger guard.
