The Steyr TMP (Tactical Machine Pistol) is a fully automatic select-fire 9 x 19 mm Parabellum caliber submachine gun manufactured by the Austrian company, Steyr Mannlicher. It is renowned for its controllability, allowing a shooter to accurately fire the gun in bursts of up to 15 or 30 (the full magazine size), instead of the typical 3-shot or 2-shot bursts that other SMG's allow. It is almost exactly the same as the Steyr SPP, only the TMP is capable of firing fully automatic as well as semiautomatic. Magazines come in 15/30 round detachable box types.

One of the main features of the TMP is the angled handgrip at the front of the gun. It has been reported that it is very comfortable to fire and easy to bring to bear and aim.

In the 1990s Steyr sold off the design to Brugger & Thomet who developed it into the Brugger & Thomet MP-9. It includes such features as integrated Picatinny rails.

TMP-46 or TMP46 is a prototype version chambered for 4.6 x 30 mm
