Spectacular gallery, congratulations!
Do you by any chance do requests?
Hey CoolRoc I just found this design which caught my eye due to its different shape which reminds me of similar period SMGs with forward grips like the Australian Owen gun, German Erma EMP, Polish Mors and early models of the US Thompson SMG.

Granted, "due to its overtly complex design and high price, Lmg-Pist 41/44 is regarded as one of the worst service firearms of not only World War II, but in history."
But what I find different is it kinda reminds me of the Australian Owen gun and Italian Beretta M1918 SMG if we alter the position of the Lmg-Pist 41/44's magazine to become a top-mounted magazine design instead like said Australian and Italian SMGs.
I'm kinda wondering if this could provide room for a fictional top-mounted, magazine-fed SMG design in a fictional setting where it could be the predecessor design of a later in-setting Owen SMG equivalent. It'll be like how the British Lanchester SMG led to the later Sten and Sterling series of SMGs or the USSR PPSH-41 led to the later PPS and Finnish KP m/44 SMGs.

What do you think of this idea?
