"Zenith and MKE have been busy. While earlier this week we discussed the new Z-43P rifle, today we can relay the announcement of a 9mm roller delayed carbine. Sporting (get it) a 16.1" barrel and the apppropriate number of U.S. made parts, the Z-5 is 922r compliant firearm. Meaning it can be imported and sold as a rifle and not a pistol. In this configuration you are just $200 USD and a wait away from a more traditional looking HK style gun. Details, pricing and specifications can be found below…" link Main page

So, basically am MP5 knock off with a carbine length barrel. Similar sporting rifles with out the military drag have been around with varying success for decades, at least since the US military adopted 9mm as a pistol cartridge, but the expected flood of surplus 9mm ammo never eventuated. It would also help if the original author employed a proof reader – that should be $2,200 USD not $200 USD, otherwise there would be a stampede to buy one for less than the price of a decent .22. |

@brslee: No, he's talking about paying the $200 USD NFA tax (and waiting about a year for approval) to chop the barrel down to the standard MP5 length. |
