HS Produkt Kuna (lit. 'Marten') is a Croatian submachine gun designed and manufactured by HS Produkt which is available in both 9x19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W.[1][2]
The Kuna is available in a semi-automatic version for commercial and civilian sales, and as a select-fire sub-machine gun for military, law enforcement and government sales.[3]
History
Development on the Kuna began in 2020 as a commercial project.[4]
The Kuna appeared first at the COP Internacional trade show in Sao Paulo in 2024 after HS Produkt won a contract with the Sao Paulo Military Police.[5]
Later in 2025, it was revealed at EnforceTac 2025 and IWA OutdoorClassics 2025 under Springfield Armory branding.[3]
Design
The Kuna was designed for the .40 S&W caliber and to withstand the strong pressures of that cartridge in order to obtain a strong and resistant construction and then gradually adapt to the weaker 9x19 mm Parabellum cartridge.
One of the key details in the design is the single-roller delayed-blowback locking system. This leads to higher accuracy, less vibration and longer service life.[6]
