Just got her today, one of 43 (according to the Ottawa Citizen) RESTRICTED LDP's. Also called a Rhuzi or Kommando, made my Kommando Arms. I know it's not the prettiest SMG out there but I'm pretty sure it's one of the only ones that fires from an OPEN BOLT! Also uses standard UZI mags.
Here's what the net says:
The story of the Kommando LDP begins in Rhodesia, and a small submachinegun dubbed the "Rhuzi." The Rhuzi was based on the VZ-25. The design seems to have disappeared after the Rhodesian Revolution, but reappeared in semiautomatic form as the Kommando LDP. The LDP stands for LaCoste Engineering (the manufacturer), DuPless (the designer), and Ponter (the financier). However, many owners of the pistol insisted that the "LDP" stands for "Land’s Defense Pistol."
The LDP is, depending on how you look at it, a very large pistol or a submachinegun that has no automatic fire provision. It looks very much like the VZ-25, but smaller. The LDP is a mess, a weapon that jams often and sometimes fires automatic bursts instead of the semiautomatic fire it is supposed to produce. (An automatic fire burst recoil is provided below for this problem; the weapon has a 1 in 10 chance to produce a burst instead of semiautomatic, rolled by the GM.) The LDP has a submachinegun-style folding wire stock.
But... before the bashing starts, I think it's pretty cool that there's a few of these kicking around in the restricted list and try to appreciate it for what it is, not what it looks like. Some hunters think AR15's are ugly, some mall ninjas think single action revolvers are ugly, and lots of people think that the blue/grey paint on VZ's and CZ's is ugly. To each their own.
