[Cypress Sun]

 

I've never seen one in person but the local auction has one in it. They only made 100 of them. Boy they put the UG in UGLY when they made this gun.

i agree - that is ugly , ive always thought the thompson was the sexy one 

[Dapper Dave]

Looks like it was put together for some kids shop project...and he got an "F".

It says it has a heel magazine. I assume that means a heel clip magazine catch.

 

But since the magazine extends several inches past the bottom of the pistol grip, I don't see how it can.

[Dapper Dave]

That tab right at the bottom of the grip in the back.

This drawing might explain it.

It's a STEN derivative. open bolt slamfire blowback. The spine on the mag has a notch partway down. Heel latch catches it and holds it in place.

 

ATF decided open bolt guns were bad JuJu. But they are a lot easier to make at home

Kinda looks like a caulking gun!🤣🤣

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

Zip guns still rule....in some places.

Looks like a pipefitter's mistake.  Real major mistake.......

Which way is back???????

That "out-greases" the grease gun! 

[Blackwater 53393]

Actually, the M3A1 Greasgun had a bit of simple, if crude, elegance about it!

 

It ain’t pretty, but it doesn’t look anywhere near as ugly as that abomination!  That thing ain’t even LEGO quality!!

The drawings are of the SM-90, pictured bottom right.  Which aren't the MP2, pictured upper right.

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

The M-3A1 was simple, crude, rugged, reliable, and almost infallible.  It had about as many functional parts as a Zippo lighter.  I had one for  short time in 'Nam before I got my hands on a Tommy gun, which was more attractive, more complicated, and more expensive...but I liked it better because it was 'cooler'.

 

The 'grease gun' was a more sensible solution.

i cannot argue with you there , you can carry more ammo if you carry the lightest one , i would go with that in a combat situation long as its been proven to function reliably , there is a reason we issued the grease guns in WWII
