Although a weapon known as the Sanna-77 speaks about south african design, it is as usual much more complex. The design comes from Southern Rhodesia, this country has suffered from international sanctions and from the mid-sixties and the raids of the various black war lords of the white farmers. Just for them, therefore, it was necessary to have a weapon for self defense. Automatic weapons for civilian use banned so was looking for a weapon that would take them close, but at the same time complying with the law. The interest was of course on the machine gun the UZI, but its license has failed to obtain, and so arose the domestic weapons, one of them was the "LDP" which is often cited as a 'Land defence pistol", this interpretation is highly dubious, in reality it comes of the abbreviation Lacoste DuPless, therefore, the manufacturer 'LACOSTE ENGINEERING Company" and the names of the constructor (DuPless) and the owner of the factory (Ponter). The gun was designed both for military use, that is, with the possibility of fire in the automatic mode, so in the version for the civil sector as self-loading. The gun had been in the old press sometimes referred to as RHUZI (Rhodesian UZI) but with the israeli weapons do not have much in common, terms a copy of MS suddenly appeared with his fellow vz.23/25 and the UZI was used allegedly just a tray. Unlike MS weapons is for the LDP structure is virtually only steel (the company apparently did not have the technology for the production of plastic components). Somewhat modified, is also hinged shoulder rest. The LDP has been tested by the army by the european union and, allegedly, the republic of South africa, but this was on of the original in the " manufactured weapons. South africa had weapons enough and Officially acquired from Israel supply of UZI, moreover, the arms of the LDP had the problem with switching firing from benefits on the individual wound, and so the weapons have failed.

At the turn of the sixties and seventies, the situation in the South " began to deteriorate and the company Lacoste was relocated to South africa where founded a new company under the name "KOMMANDO ARMS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, PTY Ltd." The gun was then offered under the name of the Squad of the LDP and in the company Squad is then produced only the weapons for the civilian market, hence the only version with the option of firing only single shots, guns were offered to the police, but apparently without success. The company Squad their weapons, has once again produced with the use of plastics, so even visually closer to its draft, therefore, the MS suddenly appeared with his fellow. It is not known when the production in the company Squad in a JAR over, but it is likely that it was around the mid-seventies. Then followed up with the production in the company "DAM PIENAAR INDUSTRIES" which was a company controlled by the state zbrojovkou ARMSCOR (Armaments Corporation of the Republic of South Africa), but have probably produced only a small number of weapons and sometimes in the early eighties is the production is completed (it is possible that the end occurred earlier and were doprodávány weapons produced on the stock). Just under the name of the Sanna-77 was originally a total unknown weapon appeared on the world market, was sold in the Uk and the US, which apparently nepotěšilo the british police, which in its reports states that the weapon is easy to redo the automatic shooting and that sometimes, these weapons unleash a dose of even without the adjustments. This statement can probably believe, because zcivilnění was supposedly done just by running of the shutter was restricted, and the location for the shooting of the dose so as not to be reached. Among collectors had a weapon of some success, have legally a gun looking militarily it was probably tempting, but the interest quickly waned and the weapons exported by the company "Dan Pienaar Enterprises" of Johannesburg has gradually disappeared from the market. I ran well on it, that the guns in the JAR is called "Paramax", but failed to me to verify this, it is possible that it was used for several trade names for the same weapon, maybe even according to the country in which it was delivered.
The question is how the weapon rank, the structures, considering both stock goes on the machine gun, but the impossibility of firing the dose should be sort between the guns. But, because it comes to a weapon more appropriate suddenly appeared with his fellow (originally by the LDP (i was) we decided to classify it as a crowbar, albeit ended up as a civilian weapon, and therefore here, in theory it does not belong.
