Description . MGV - 176 submachine gun appears to be a clone of an American - 180 submachine gun , but adapted to more modern materials and less expensive production techniques . MGV - 176 appeared during 1980s , and was offered forexport . After the dissolution of Yugoslavia MGV - 176 was manufactured in Sloveniaby Orbis , and apparently is used by Slovenian police . A semi - automatic version was made and encountered during the war in Bosnia . It is a specialist weapon , which can be used at relatively short ranges , because of weak ammunition . However , when fired in full automatic mode , the veryhigh rate of fire combined with low recoil will result in a significant lethality through multiple hits to target . MGV - 176 submachine gun is blowback operated , selective - fired weapon which fires from open bolt . The receiver and pistol grip are made from polymer . Fire mode ( single shots / full automatic ) is controlled by the trigger pressure - shortpull on the trigger produces single shots , and long pull produces full automaticfire with rather high cyclic rate . MGV - 176 is fitted with manual safety on theleft side of the grip , plus an automatic grip safety is located at the rear of the pistol grip . Gun is fitted with underfolding shoulder stock made from steelwire . MGV - 176 can be fitted with quick - detachable sound moderator ( silencer ) which weights about 200 gram and reduces firing signature by about 20 dB . The feed system employs flat pan magazines , which hold 161 rounds of ammunition in three layers , with bullets pointing to the center of the pan . Magazine covers are made from semi - translucent plastic . Spent cases are ejected downwards through aperture in receiver just in front of the trigger guard , so care shouldbe taken to not cover ejection port by supporting hand .

Memnon of Rhodes Memnon of Rhodes ( 380 – 333 BC ) was the commander of the Greek mercenaries in the service of the Persian king Darius III when Alexander the Great of Macedonia invaded Persia in 334 BC . Memnon famously advocated a scorched earth policy against Alexander , aware of the Macedonian ' s lack of supplies and funds . He commanded the mercenaries at the Battle of the Granicus River , where his troops were massacred by the victorious Macedonians . He then began a campaign to capture the Aegean islands using the Persian fleet and led a direct assault on Macedonia , while Alexander was resting at Phaselis . Memnon managed to capture the island of Chios and most of Lesbos . Demosthenes , after hearing of Memnon ' s successes , began to prepare Athens for a revolt against Alexander , along with other Greek cities , while Sparta began to prepare for war . By a stroke of fortune for Alexander , Memnon died of illness at Mytilene after transferring command to his nephew , Pharnabazus . Many scholars maintain that had Memnon ' s campaign been successful , Alexander would have had difficulty in continuing his campaign in Asia , and might have soon been defeated . It was not until after the major Persian defeat at the Battle of Issus that Memnon ' s strategy was revitalised and finally put into action , but by then the advantage had been lost , and Alexander showed himself willing to forfeit Greece if necessary in favor of his greater goals . Memnon was the brother of Mentor of Rhodes , brother - in - law of Artabazus of Phrygia , and husband and uncle of Barsine , Artabazus ' daughter and Alexander the Great ' s mistress .
