A corner of the exhibition
When people visit any large gun, defense, and security exhibit, there are certainly more kinds of weapons on display, often with incredible results. Especially when these visitors are visiting with a camera and taking pictures, when he arrives at a particular booth or stall, if he goes to a giant armored personnel carrier or other exhibit, he will probably think," he will probably think, "Did I take pictures there?" Or think, "Should I take a picture later or when I come tomorrow?" And when he checks the camera memory card at the hotel or at his accommodation, he thinks, "Where is the picture I took with a gun at booth x?" ”
Of course, this kind of thing will also happen to the many visitors to the Latin American International Defense and Security Exhibition (laad 2019) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in early April 2019 – including me (the author of this article, the same below) - here are some photos of the exhibition that I quickly took on site and related text descriptions.
M197 type 20mm rotary tube gun
The first to be shown was a heavy weapon, at which Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) exhibited the T129 Ataka Advanced Attack and Tactical Reconnaissance Helicopter, which was actually developed and manufactured in cooperation with Italy (based on the Agusta A129 Mongoose helicopter). The lower part of the front of the helicopter is equipped with an M197 type 20× 102 mm three-barrel rotary tube gun, with a standard ammunition capacity of 500 rounds.

HK UMP-9 submachine gun
Germany's H&K's UMP-9 submachine gun (in German: universal maschinenpistole) is not actually a new gun, but a small Brazilian naval weapons platform at laad 2019 has a muffler version of the ump-9 submachine gun on display, which means that this configuration of submachine gun has begun to be used in the unit, and the marine corps special mission battalion has long used mp5sd SD6 type micro-submachine gun.
However, it's no secret that the old-fashioned SD submachine gun is still their preferred gun for missions. In addition, Brazilian army units are also equipped with UMP-9 submachine guns.
Brazilian Army special forces participating in the exercises before the Rio 2016 Olympics used the UMP-9 submachine gun with silencers
