When Germans came into Poland, Poles made no more sporting shotguns.They made Sten clones. When Russians went into Chechniya, Chechens made no sporting shotguns, either. They made various submachine guns. Should US anti-gun creatures succeed in driving regular rifles and shotguns out of legal circulation, they will see more submachine guns as well

Make mine a Swedish K, but yeah.

Effectively the same thing, just turned 90 degrees and with higher cyclic rate.

Like this?

As pleasant to shoot as it is ugly to look at. What a great firearm.

I ought to go digging for blueprints again. It would be good to have such things on file, just in case.

[perspicuity]

even better, machine all the parts, and make lamps lego style with the parts, so that it's art deco rather than a "gun" :) nobody seizes lamps ;)

there's also that metal puzzle this guy makes. take it apart, and it builds into 1-2 different kinds of guns. includes ammo :>

Чечня - это часть России, если кто забыл. :/

And yet people there still made submachine guns. Same thing happened when Armenia and Azerbaijan fought their war. My point was that people who are short of regular arms will make submachine guns as the simplest and most expedient.

Это-то как раз понятно. Но ты упомянул в оной строчке "Nazis" и "Russians" поставив по сути между ними знак равенства, что меня как одного из "russians" очень задело.( Ты ведь не пишешь, что "Germans came into Poland".

Re: <резонно>

That's a good point.

Unfortunately...

...I don't think this argument will sway anyone. You are talking about people who think that making something illegal will make criminals stop doing it. I think threatening them with "criminals will become even better at it" requires way too much of a leap in understanding. Plus, I am not sure I completely buy the analogy... in Poland and Chechnya they needed submachine guns to be effective at their chosen criminal enterprise (armed resistance). If we are talking about gang bangers, liquor store hold-up men, and drug dealers; they can get by nicely with your average single shot zip gun.
JMHO

But, it's generally not about stopping criminals, for most gun grabbers. It seems like it's all about disarming the public, making them more subservient. It's more important to let the people know they're being duped.
