The Daewoo K7 is an integrally suppressed 9x19mm submachine gun developed by Daewoo Telecom (now S&T Motiv) in collaboration with the Korean Defense Agency for Technology and Quality, entering service in 2001. Based on the lower of the K1A carbine but reworked to a simple blowback action, it features a permanently attached integral suppressor surrounding a ported barrel, allowing subsonic-velocity fire without an external silencer. Designed as an indigenous Korean alternative to the H&K MP5SD.
