Another common variation:
As with many of these home workshop SMGs, the Brazilian made URU submachine gun seems to be the inspiration behind the general layout. More closely aligned copies also surface regularly.
‘The Blimp’
In recent months increasing numbers of the model below have been seized, appearing to overtake the previous model in frequency. It is characterized by an unconventional appearance, owing to the use of a tubular receiver and a conical barrel nut. Unlike the majority of ‘T’ SMGs this design does not appear to make use of a telescoping bolt, resulting in a longer rear portion of it’s receiver. ‘Made in the USA’ is the most commonly stamped claim.

No 3d printer required, apparently.
There’s nothing complicated about those. Looks like they’re a knock off of a Sten gun from WW II. Google is your friend ... sometimes.

Anyone remember the day Bobby Kennedy was killed? On that same day the ATF raided a clandestine un licensed submachine gun manufacturing business in South California. They made illegal submachine guns for the South American trade.
It was said that Lyndon Johnson knew of this and even had held one of the illegal sub machine guns. He had also given his OK to sell them in South America.
That is the natural result when you finally get laws to the point that criminals can’t get a hold of mass produced guns. An underground gun manufacturing industry is born ,snowballs, then flourishes.
Australia is just now learning that lesson. Submachine guns are starting to hit the streets there. And the numbers will only grow as people spread the knowledge on how to do it.
Thank You for doing that – I had forgotten how to Do that until after I had posted the article.
You are welcome. It seemed that quite a few were interested.
Lyndon Johnson is burning in HELL..!!!
Maintenance doesn’t seem to be a very high priority.
This one is interesting:

Nice to see capitalisn is alive and well in Brazil. I should think a WW II era Greese Gun would be simple to make.
Years ago, I saw a short film on the Norwegian underground making sub machine guns to fight the Nazis. It was all hand equipment used to build the guns.
“Nice to see capitalisn is alive and well in Brazil. I should think a WW II era Greese Gun would be simple to make.”
There used to be plans for many different blowback operated firearms on the interwebs and in print. They are indeed easy to make for someone that is fairly familiar with tools and blueprints but the ammo is the problem in a police state. That being said, Americans are infinitely resourceful.
Some of those are pretty decent looking.
