Its like a MIC but not made by a guy in his garage and has multiple carry options over just a string (although you can still use the string method). Plus there is little chance you'll crack the Vanguard 2 by inserting the gun wrong unlike the MIC. My MIC cracked by itself even though I always slipped in on correctly so I never looked at it again.

Back then it was full-sized rifle, machinegun, or submachinegun with no in-between. The STG-44 was originally called the MP-44 (Maschinenpistole-44, Submachinegun-44) when it was first made. The closest AK variant there is to a submachinegun is the Krink, but it's not a submachinegun because it's still chambered in a rifle and not a pistol caliber.

Isn't it kinda like a Beretta SMG?
They definitely wanted the MP40 form factor, but it's a bit different.

>>65245463
9mm Parabellum has a slight taper, and they may have found that the curved profile mag was more reliable. As an example, the H&K MP5 originally had straight stick mags, the curved mags came later.

So there's a number of WW2 SMGs that were blatantly assembled out of spare plumbing and I affectionately call them pipe guns. Unfortunately, it seems to always cause a ruckus since people seem to think being made cheaply out of available materials automatically makes them bad. Is there any way to salvage my little nickname or is it better to just abandon the term?

As a Brit we know the Sten as 'the plumbers nightmare'. The receiver tubing was genuinely made out of standard size steel pipe with the bolt made to match that internal diameter. The stock was made by every bicycle workshop around. Proper cottage industry in one sense.

I'd use the term with pride in a way. Sure they were made out of cheap parts. But we needed a lot of guns very fast. And they did the trick.

In the U.S, transferable Uzis are about $18000 to $20000+ by this point, but imagine that sample ones would be a lot cheaper, though those are only for SOTs.

The cheapest transferable automatic weapons on the registry in the U.S is going to be Reising M50 or M55 guns, and Sten guns, but that's not original intact British or Canadian Sten guns (those will be as expensive as the Uzi), rather those are going to be much later parts kit rebuilds which people put together over the years (up until 1986).
You'd be paying a very minimum of $6000 for a transferable rebuilt Sten, but probably a good bit more, probably closer to $10000.
On the other hand, an SOT could build a Sten parts kit as a sample for like $100, but you're not an SOT.

Reisings can be anywhere from $8000 to $12000, though good magazines for them aren't really widely available.

When it comes to transferable machineguns, assault rifles like M16s and AKs are very highly desired, so those are around $30000 at a base price. Less desired ones like FNCs and AC556s used to be a lot lower, but you're paying quite a lot for those now too, you're probably paying as much as you would for a transferable Uzi for that now.

One of the big factors in transferable machinegun prices is the availability and cost of ammunition (and also magazines to a point), and very importantly, if the gun is fun to shoot. 9mm SMGs are very cheap to feed, and VERY fun to shoot, therefore people want them.
Another is historical value and cultural impact, so guns that were big part of historical events and conflicts, and have been shown off a lot in movies and games, people will want those too (even if the ammo isn't very cheap).

Many 9mm SMGs have historical value and cool value, so that's been adding up with their fun value. Transferable machineguns in .22LR have no historical value or anything, but they are also really fun, and they're the cheapest to feed, so a converted Ruger 10/22 registered as a transferable (or registered trigger pack) is going to be almost as valuable as a transferable M16.

Parts kits rebuilt Stens lack some of the original historical value, but one that's been rebuilt proper is still gonna give you the true Sten experience, which gives you a somewhat uncomfortable, but still damn fun 9mm SMG, along with some WW2 cool points.

The guy intended it to replace all infantry rifles, SMGs, LMGs (which they really didn't have at the time) and make it the standard infantry weapon, that isn't a traditional SMG role. He also designed it with a 150 round belt/drum and a quick swap barrel. He was tasked with making the most firepower possible in something that weighed as much as a Nagant.

>All 7.62x25mm SMGs and pistols used until destruction
>Penderson device and drop in pistol grip stock converts all Nagants into quasi assault rifles taking PPsH mag with a quick bolt swap allowing the use of 7.62x54
>Crew served and vehicle guns unchanged
>7.62x25mm costs 1/3 the resources of a 7.62x54
>At infantry ranges (100-150 meters) ballistics don't really matter
>WW2, body armor isn't really a thing yet, as long as you hit them it works
>The LAD has select fire, they can do individual aimed shots
>6000 rounds per Soviet squad standard load

Our timeline was robbed of a future that had LADs as standard Soviet infantry weapons, US .17 HMR belt fed infantry Gast guns and 12 GA flechette firing rotary cannons.

I don't know about you but a company of troops that can throw out almost 35K rounds of 7.62x25mm out of carbine length barrels 'at the moment of contact' sounds like a very unpleasant experience, even in the modern day.

I was thinking that in this alternate time line that those would be roughly the size of a M2 or KPV.

As an alternative a 12 GA Gast gun might be smaller than a M2, perfectly suitable for use on a vehicle or as a support weapon.

The P90's overall concept/design though leaves a lot to be desired. Some security forces might ? like-prefer it—perhaps for concealment or form factor. Most normal people would want the mag-in-grip MP7.
It does have the large mag capacity advantage. Heard mixed stories about the feed reliability of the P90 magazines.

In terms of current 2026 production submachine guns the PMX-10 (design purchased and modified from Brugger & Thomet, their former P26) and MP9 (design purchased and updated from Steyr, their TMP) are two of the best options.

Thread topic is about fully automatic (or select fire) submachine guns.

i keep seeing bodycam videos of cops in CQC situations and nut to butt bunkers and they're still trying to use long guns and they get shot through the walls by someone with a long gun. did people forget SMGs exist or? and by people i mean law enforcement.

you need something like a .45 with a 50 round mag, the main role is suppression.
I just got done watching a video where they couldn't shoot their rifles because children so they just got slaughtered.
>>
>>65300506
Yes we've had this discussion before.
All (United States, at least) law enforcement after the 1990s largely purged their submachine guns in favor of 10 to 14 inch barrel 5.56 carbines.
Submachine guns still, and ought, have a practical tactical role in extreme-CQB situations.

10mm isn't particularly fun in a PCC, especially if you get a FRT down the road.

>>65301086
It's a carbine, how bad could it possibly be? Also, FRTs won't even work with straight blowback guns like Hi-Points.

Sorta in some ways, but not too bad in others.
These things weren't really well suited for army issue due to how they were built (parts not being readily interchangeable between guns, very rust prone in Pacific humidity, and disassembly being kinda fiddly), so they were not particularly well loved by Marines who had to use them in place of Thompsons (because the Army still had dibs on those).

However, in a cleaner environment, like as a police or armed security weapon stateside, they were ok. Biggest issue is magazines, besides not being easy to find these days, the original 20rd magazines were sometimes iffy in reliability and quality. This was complained about enough in their time that Reising would address it, by making special magazines which were narrowed down to a single stack of 12rds, which WERE much more reliable, but is obviously not the kind of solution anyone wanted.

These days, there exist some old aftermarket mags, which apparently aren't that great, but some guy on Arfcom and MachinegunBoards makes a replacement magwell which uses .45 caliber Uzi magazines (and a nicer release button), and apparently they work quite well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtqvwHKKC7w

.45 Uzi mags are available in 10rd, 16rd, and 22rd, so nothing larger, but 22rds is more than the original 20rds, and even the ProMag ones are gonna be much more reliable than an old Reising mag, and much easier to find.

The advantages of the Reising though is the full wooden stock, the delayed action allowing for a lighter weight and slimmer gun, also firing from a closed bolt, so they're not bad to handle and carry, and actually getting through a magazine without issue, they are fairly nice to shoot.

Almost all of the same also applies to the M55 model, which lacks the muzzlebrake and adds a folding stock. With the stock folded, that makes the M55 extremely short and compact, but it's an extremely awful folding stock, just as flimsy and uncomfortable as it looks.
If you're good with working wood, then maybe it'd be fun to make a replacement stock for the M55 (ether a full wood one, or your own, better folding one).

Here's some more footage of someone testing the Uzi magwell, seems to work pretty well.

What 5.7 does out of a short barrel can be done just as well for 99% of practical purposes by .22 mag FMJ and what it does out of a long barrel can be done by .17 HMR FMJ.

>But duh rimfire reliability!

Double strikers and quality control, still cheaper than 5.7mm guns and ammo.
>>
>>65313775
ProMag has an earned reputation, but they actually seem to work pretty well for these guns, as long as you're willing to maybe tinker slightly.

It took awhile before folding stocks became non-gimpy.
Early Uzis had wood buttstocks. Even the 1950s-70s HK folding stocks are less than optimal

Pipeguns tend to mean using stuff like pipes for barrels, and generally being crude handcrafted weapons. However, affectionately nicknaming the really economized SMGs of WW2, like the Sten and Greasegun, as such, I think isn't that outrageous.

>>65318619
Must have had either damage, or it was converted to only fire semi-auto. Those Commando ones with silencers were most often blocked o semi-auto only one way or another, and perhaps that one was built from such a parts kit, without the builder understanding the sear group.
Or you did something wrong.

Ergos are quite terrible, and you want to treat the magazines gently, but the things do in fact work, otherwise they wouldn't have been so widely used.
>>
>>65318716
No, it fired full auto happily for like two bursts when someone else was shooting it. Then it stopped working altogether when I was shooting and it was replaced with an MP40 that was just lying around. I think it's rather that it's a cheap weapon being used far beyond its intended lifespan, but it still wasn't very pleasant. The only praise I can furnish is that the sight is surprisingly useable
>>
>>65318821
Was it an original and intact British or Canadian made one, or was it one of the countless parts kits rebuilds? Because the vast majority of registered Stens are the latter, as it was one of the cheapest and easiest ways to make a machinegun back in the day, and some individuals/outfits did less of a good job than others.

Not gonna call the Sten flawless or anything, and certainly it could be worn out, but that really isn't normal behavior from anything I've seen or heard. Should not be difficult to correct, usually a fucky parts kit build is fixable.

With their Russian connections, Panzer Arms is certain to win the next US small arms tender.

I went onto boomerbroker to see how much mags for these things are.
They are hundreds of dollars per magazine. The original Reising mags, not 3rd party aftermarket ones.
Kinda makes sense as these gun have been out of production for 60+ years, but yeah you would think there would be more of an aftermarket for them.
After reading about them, I think they cool, but I don't know how cool they would be if they weren't the cheapest transferable machine gun out there.

I can only hope so. Even Turkish clones would be an upgrade at this point.
