Yep, it's a Mark II Sten, pimped up for a shoot with a spray-gold finish, and reworked Campbell's soup cans providing a heat shield for the barrel mounted suppressor [Not an original MkVIs model] inside [or beneath, depending on how you look at it.] There are a few others in the *pimped-out buzzgun* category, including a nickel plated Franchi M62 in Arizona, and one dealer sample MG42 said to be receiving a refinish at a bumper plating shop....

More info on Stens in general, and references to the PimpSten and its daddy *here*.
