Don’t bet your Thanksgiving dinner on it but I think those are British Sten guns. Could be home made but probably not.

Thanks.

I do believe you’re right, after doing a quick search.

I’ve heard of them, but never have seen one.

One is a Sten Mk III (the center of pic)
The lower is a Sten Mk V

Looks like an oil filter suppressor on the MkIII

The "silencer" is an oil filter. Effective, but not high tech. All you need is an adapter that lets you screw on a $3.69 STP can from Walmart onto a threaded barrel. The pic shows an oil filter on the Sten, and an adapter on the auto pistol at the top. They are on YouTube.

The Sten can be built in any farm garage. Some tubing, a Dremel mototool, some sheet steel, you can buy magazines for a few dollars at any gun show outside the People's Democratic Republic of Kali. You can get the barrels by mail order.

Last I heard, the receiver is the vital part, what the ATF wants $200 for. A printed guide to what you should cut out of some tubing, downloaded off the net, is not illegal.

The rest of the "guns" in that pic are junk.

HOWEVER! There is what looks like an MP-5, or something along those lines, at the bottom edge of the pic.

I've gonna guess that this guy wasn't born homeless...
