The Demro TAC-1 is a semi-automatic carbine chambered in either .45 ACP or 9×19mm Parabellum. The TAC-1 is the reintroduction of the Fox Carbine to the law enforcement market after a fallout between Gerry Fox, the inventor, and Dean Machine Inc. of Manchester, CT. Although it is visually similar to the Thompson submachine gun the operation and design is quite different. The design is a closer cousin to the Soviet PPSh-41.

Design[]

The TAC-1 is an open bolt, blowback-operated firearm that uses a screw-delayed blowback operation that was first used on Mikhail Kalashnikov's submachine gun prototype.

The weapon has a grip safety as well as a safety lever on the left side of the receiver, over the pistol grip. The standard version also has a combination lock above the trigger near the safety lever. In the selective-fire variants, this safety lever doubles as a fire selector. The magazine release is found behind the magazine well, and the charging knob is on the left side of the upper receiver.

The stock, pistol grip, and foregrip of the TAC-1 are wooden.
