Design
Design
The MKS was a gas-operated select fire rifle chambered for the 5.56 mm NATO cartridge and was capable of firing around 750/1,100 RPM. It featured rotating barrel locking and was the first gun made by Interdynamics in 1979. The weapon featured a magazine insert that acted as the pistol grip similar to the Uzi submachine gun. Its receiver was made from stamped steel. Tests in the Philippines proved the gun too uncomfortable for the average shooter to fire well and it never made it beyond the prototype stage.

Variants
