Originally developed by S&W for the U.S. Navy after Sweden imposed an arms embargo (yes that actually happened) thereby depriving the SEALs of the Carl Gustaf m45 (Swedish K) SMG the M76 saw limited combat service in Vietnam and eventually S&W ceased production of the original weapon in 1974. In the 1980's two firms, MK Arms and Global Arms made variants of the M76 (called the Mk760) with minimal commercial success.
