The Smith & Wesson 76 is an American submachine gun developed by S&W in 1967. It was originally developed for the U.S. Navy SEALs, who had been using the Carl Gustaf m/45 as their weapon of choice in Vietnam, but needed a replacement after Sweden imposed an arms embargo on the United States and stopped supplying the m/45. The Model 76 was developed in response to a list of requirements provided by the Navy SEALs.
The Model 76 was produced in small nubmers and saw limited combat service in Vietnam, and eventually S&W ceased its production in 1974. Although the Model 76's military service was brief, it saw some popularity among Law Enforcement and civilian markets. Until the early 1980s, Smith & Wesson also made a 16" barreled semiautomatic only carbine version of the same weapon for over the counter sales.
Officially, the Model 76 is in no way inspired by the m/45 and any similarities are purely coincidental, though the resemblance is uncanny, and S&W seems to have "accidentally" given the SEALs a gun that happens to feel and operate nearly identical to the ones they were familiar with. 
Explicitly designed to be inexpensive, the M76 was primarily made of rolled and stamped metal parts.
In the 1980s, two firms MK Arms and Global Arms made variants of the M76 called the Mk760 with minimal commercial success.
