Same SMG that was used in the original “Planet of the Apes” movies, but with a “futuristic” wooden stock. The carbines, with a similarly created stock, were .30 M1 Carbines.
Madsens are very cool little SMGs. Easy to maintain.
I remember that episode. At the end of the episode, the Enterprise crew was discussing the dissident group they’d encountered, the “Sons of the Sun.” Spock commented that it was odd that a culture this far advanced would still be engaged in sun worship. Lt. Uhura said that she’d been monitoring their radio broadcasts and it was not the sun up in the sky they were talking about but the Son of God. The disidents were Christians!
The “futuristic” weapons in “Escape from New York” are especially stupid....M-16’s without handguards.
