What is this SMG?

A man on the left carries an SMG on his back.

I identified this SMG as a Beretta Model 38A, but now I have another guess: the shape of the barrel cover resembles a PPSh-41. But the magazine is straight, and the only version of PPSh with straight magazine is a German conversion MP.41(r).

PPSh-41 with 9mm conversion, something that happened to captured PPSh-41s. The captured weapons were adopted by the Germans as the MP41(r) - 9x19mm Parabellum.

So can it be? This scene was filmed in Iran, and PPSh-41 were produced in Iran but they were of standard Soviet model, in 7.62mm caliber with drum or curved magazines. Greg-Z (talk) 04:45, 20 June 2013 (EDT)
