The MM-26 is a straight blowback submachine gun with a milled receiver and wooden buttstock. A three position safety switch sits immediately outside the trigger guard that switches the gun from safe to semi-automatic to fully-automatic fire. The rate of fire sits around 800 rounds per minute (down from c. 1050 in prototypes). Recoil is kept low in part by a muzzle brake at the end of the barrel and in part by the high mass (4.6 kilograms (10 lb)) of the weapon itself, which gives the MM-26 a high level of controllability even when firing in fully-automatic mode.
