Overview
Overview
The assessors report concluded that the guns were accurate and comfortable to shoot from the shoulder or hip, and had only minor faults that could be easily corrected. However, since the Army was already committed to the MAT-49, Gavram subsequently only produced between 3,000 and 4,000 D4s, most of which went to the Gendarmerie or to the Customs Service.
