Steyr's TMP rotating-barrel sub-machinegun was a spawing from the abortive individual weapons modernization programmes attempted by the U.S. Its signature product − the AUG Bull-Pup rifle design, available both as a select-fire Military/LE firearm and a semi-automatic civilian carbine − had merely been upgraded with Picatinny interfaces, but was otherwise stuck to the standards of the late 1970s, when it had first been fielded. Just like many other important international gunmakers, by the end of the 20th Century the Steyr-Mannlicher company suffered from the lack of dynamism of the gun market, and was thus stuck on a somewhat outdated product line. Looking back, this the ideal ending point of a lenghty renewal phase for Steyr-Mannlicher GmbH − one of the world's most notorious gun manufacturers, headquartered in the Austrian town of Kleinraming − and perhaps it paves the way for yet another one. The Steyr-Mannlicher L-A1 semi-automatic pistol is 188mm long and sports a 4.5" barrel
