  • The Star Z-84 was a Spanish submachine gun originally manufactured by the now defunct Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A.. The Z-84 was a sturdy well designed weapon that never saw high production due to politics. Originally manufactured for use by scuba divers, the Z-84 could be used right out of the water without and need to drain the working parts or magazine. Star S.A. developed the weapon after a successful run of submachine guns based on the German MP-40 design. Realizing they couldn't rebuild the same weapon over and over, they built the Z-84 completely from scratch using modern designs and engineering. At the time of the Z-84's design, Star was building and importing large numbers of cheap handguns into the US. The 1994 Assault Weapons Ban (now repealed), banned the importation of many of their designs. This proved disastrous for Star and by 1996 had driven them into bankruptcy. Less than 1000 Z-84 were manufactured before the company went bankrupt but many were sold on a testing basis to various countries in South and Central America.
