The Jatimatic is a Finnish 9 mm submachine gun developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Jali Timari. The submachine gun made its debut in 1983. The Jatimatic was manufactured in very limited numbers (approx. 400) initially by Tampereen Asepaja Oy of Tampere and later - Oy Golden Gun Ltd (as the GG-95 PDW, re-introduced unsuccessfully in 1995). The firearm was designed primarily for police, security forces and armored vehicle crews. It was never adopted into service by the Finnish Defence Forces, although the later GG-95 PDW version was tested by the FDF in the 1990s; the conclusion of the tests was that the GG-95 was not suitable as a service weapon.

Cobra (1986)

Cobra is a 1986 action film starring Sylvester Stallone as Lieutenant Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, a Los Angeles police detective who is assigned to protect a witness from a cult gang of murderers on the streets of Los Angeles. The film was directed by George Pan Cosmatos, who was just coming off directing Stallone in the blockbuster sequel Rambo: First Blood Part II. While opening at number one at the box office, the film ultimately proved to be a critical and financial disappointment. Sylvester Stallone adapted the screenplay from the Paula Gosling novel Fair Game (which was adapted again into a 1995 action film starring William Baldwin and Cindy Crawford).


The following weapons were used in the film Cobra (1986):

Jatimatic SMG

The Jatimatic SMG is used by Cobra in the movie. In several scenes the Jatimatic is seen fitted with an early model Laser Products Corp. (today known as Surefire) laser sight - most likely a LPC Model 7.

Cobra marked one of the few prominent appearances of the weapon in media.
