Danuvia VD-01

The Danuvia factory, having taken over prototypes by Róbert Vörös, only produced 50–60 examples of the pistol in the early 1990s. Due to difficult economic conditions at the factory caused by the deliberate downsizing of Hungarian arms production, production was limited. A submachine-gun version was produced as a prototype, but never entered mass production. It’s likely the designers considered developing the submachine-gun variant during the design draft, supported by the high magazine capacity, the submachine-gun-like controls, and the magazine’s construction. Some prototypes of a machine pistol version were built.
