Introduction
The Micro Draco gun is a semi-automatic pistol based on the AK-47 assault rifle. It uses the same 7.62x39mm ammunition as the AK-47 assault rifle. They are produced by Cugir Arms Factory in Romania, who has been producing weapons since 1770! The Micro Draco gun is classified as an SBR (Short Barreled Rifle) due to it's short barrel length of less than 16". This classification requires registration and an extra tax stamp over other types of pistols because of the National Firearms Act of 1934 regulates rifles having barrels less than 16".
Dracos-What Are They?:
Unlike many handguns where you must pull back a slide to clear the chamber, prior to loading new ammunition, with a little practice loading and unloading this Micro Draco pistol is quick and easy! The length of this gun is only 20.5” assembled whereas many guns average around 30” making it great for home defense situations where space is limited or tight quarters are expected! With its shortened barrel, been able to wield and control it more easily when fired than other guns with longer barrel sizes making it great for home defense!
With only having six inches or so between your face and an attacker if he/she comes through your door at night can make all difference in keeping yourself safe when under attack so having something easy like this makes sense especially if you have young children who could accidentally access your firearm if not secured properly! Having used this gun myself several times now I have found that adding one of our Fore Grip Bipods makes this gun even easier when fired at greater distances due to better control being possible while firing accurately at targets further away from me while still maintaining accuracy up close during self-defense situations inside my home which happens more often than not usually because someone broke into my house trying stealing things not realizing there were people living here until they came down stairs where were sleeping

The Micro Draco gun is a semi-automatic type pistol based on the AK-47 assault rifle. It uses the same 7.62x39mm ammunition as the AK-47 assault rifle. They are produced by Cugir Arms Factory in Romania and are related to their Vz58 short firearms series, in that they both use the same magazines and ammunition.
The weapon is a select-fire submachinegun chambered for 7.62x39mm caliber ammunition (the most common cartridges for self-loading rifles). The Micro Draco pistol fires from an open bolt to ensure reliable operation with less sensitive primers, even when dirty or dry fired repeatedly without being cycled first; this also allows for quicker cycling times between shots due to higher chamber pressures compared to conventional blowback designs like those used in Ingram MACs which operate at much lower pressures due to having simpler breech mechanisms (unlike submachineguns which need extra weight added around their bolt carriers).
This is a good time to talk about what a Draco gun actually is. The fact that it's called "Draco" and not "Micro Draco" or something is important. As you may recall, the name comes from this little guy:

To get around this you can purchase a shorter barrel and install it yourself, which isn't difficult by any means, but why would you? It's far easier to just buy a Draco SBR from Fostech instead.
The Fostech version comes with the same features as its non-SBR counterpart; adjustable back strap grip, ambidextrous fire selector with integrated mag release button and charging handle assembly for quick reloading. The only difference is that everything has been compacted into one short package—around 16" more info long when folded in half—which makes it look like something out of Black Ops 3 or Modern Warfare 4…if those games had realistic guns that looked like actual firearms instead of laser beams and plasma blasts everywhere.

The gun's barrel is threaded 1/2 x 28 TPI, so it's ready for your favorite sound suppressor or compensator (Flash suppressors are also available).

The frame of the Micro Draco is made from a durable aluminum alloy that gives it a lightweight construction and makes it easy to carry even when full-loaded. The trigger guard is also made from an impact-resistant polymer which further adds to its durability as well as giving you more comfort while handling your firearm in any situation whether on the range or in your home during an emergency situation.
With the addition of one of our Fore Grip Bipods this gun becomes incredibly easy to control and fire accurately at greater distances. We have found that adding a red dot optic such as Burris Fast Fire 3 makes this gun even easier to use in low light conditions or darker rooms inside your home. It is a great addition to any collection!
Located in Cugir, Romania, the Cugir Arms Factory
Cugir Arms Factory, located in Cugir, Romania, can trace its weapon manufacturing roots back to the late 18th century during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today they are a subsidiary of ROMARM, the state-owned defense conglomerate.
They have been producing firearms for more than 200 years and have become very well known for their small arms and light machine guns. The company has also produced many other types of military equipment such as tanks and armored personnel carriers (APCs).
The reputation of imported Romanian AKs in the U.S. has been all over the place since they first started coming in.
Some of the criticisms are warranted, while others are not. The fact of the matter is that there have only ever been two significant and real problems with these guns, one of which was caused by Cugir and the other the fault of Century.
The reputation of imported Romanian AKs in the U.S. has been all over the place since they first started coming in. Some of the criticisms are warranted, while others are not. The fact of the matter is that there have only ever been two significant and real problems with these guns, one of which was caused by Cugir and the other the fault of Century.
The first problem was with a batch of rifles that were sent to Century Arms International for importation back in 2008. The barrels on these rifles were improperly heat treated, causing them to produce excessive muzzle flash and thus leading to complaints from consumers about recoil being more than expected and giving headaches from muzzle blast when shooting under stress or quickly firing multiple rounds at once (such as during combat). The second issue was caused by Cugir itself when it began shipping AKs with front sight blocks that weren’t properly fitted into their gas tubes; this resulted in gas blowback (flaming debris) getting past where it should be confined within your gun after being fired—which isn’t good for accuracy if you’re trying to hit something at distance like an enemy combatant trying shoot back at you or an animal threatening your family pets!
Cugir produces three 7.62×39 Draco variants for the U.S. market, the Mini Draco, the Micro Draco, and the standard Draco with a 12.25 inch barrel.
The standard version is the most desirable for its ability to take standard AKM pattern handguards, unlike the Micro or Mini versions. The 7.62x39mm cartridge performs extremely well out of shorter barrels, only losing a couple hundred feet per second of velocity when compared to a standard 16.3 inch barrel. That being said, the 12.25 inch barrel still results in better ballistics than the 7.75 or 6.25 inch barrels of the Mini or Micro, again making the standard Draco the preferred variant. Furthermore, as civilian shooters often like to emulate what militaries do or use, the 12.25 inch Draco is much closer in form to several military AK variants than either two of the other models.
As far as the process of installing an aftermarket AK buttstock is concerned, it’s no different than any other AR-15 type rifle. The existing rear sling mount can be used or an alternate location can be selected if necessary. Depending on what you want to do with your Draco, replacing the rear trunnion may be necessary as well, but this is still pretty easy to do with just a screwdriver and some basic tools.
Conclusion
It's hard to argue against the Micro Draco being a great weapon for home defense or personal protection. It's small size makes it easy to store, but its length still allows for effective use at close ranges. The Micro Draco SBR is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an AK style pistol that doesn't take up much room in their gun collection or budget!
