Could it be possible the Unknown SMG is a cut down MAT-49? I say that because the shape reminds me of it. Just take off the heat shield, cut down the barrel, take off the wire stock, use the 20 round magazine and it looks just like it. | Could it be possible the Unknown SMG is a cut down MAT-49?

Machine Pistol
Could it be possible the Unknown SMG is a cut down MAT-49? I say that because the shape reminds me of it. Just take off the heat shield, cut down the barrel, take off the wire stock, use the 20 round magazine and it looks just like it.
- No, the screen gun has different reciever and magazine well that cannot be changed by visual modifications. Greg-Z (talk) 12:58, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
- What about a Spectre M4?
- Doesn't the Spectre use quad stack mags? The mags here look like dual stack Uzi mags. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:12, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
- What about a Spectre M4?
- It's not a Spectre, even though it has a blocky appearance similar to the Spectre. It's an open-bolt weapon which, as Funkychinaman correctly points out, seems to use Uzi magazines. I think it's probably a weapon that Felcan Enterprise gunsmiths built from scratch as a sci-fi weapon, just as they built those mock-up MP5Ks (which also appear in this movie). It's so crudely shaped and designed that I find it hard to imagine any gun manufacture would ever put it on the market. It's clearly not a weapon designed for law enforcement/military because it doesn't have a stock (or even brackets for mounting a stock) or just about any features a military/LEO customer would desire (like a suppressor-ready barrel, or hooks for a sling). And it can't be a civilian "assault pistol" that was converted to auto because it doesn't even have a visible safety/selector switch (any gun manufacturer submitting a weapon without a safety for production to BATF would get laughed away - not to mention that BATF hates open-bolt weapons). So I think the simplest explanation is that it's a weapon built from the ground up, possibly using parts from other weapons (an Uzi magazine, maybe the bolt from a MAC-type weapon).
- Actually, ignore part of what I just said - I notice that it does have a threaded barrel, which is how it was fitted with a barrel shroud in The X-Files - Season 1 and those weird muzzle breaks in Timecop.
