Fake Beretta Model 38

During the attack at training camp of secret paramilitary organization several of its members carry SMGs, that resemble Beretta Model 38A (or even early Beretta Model 38). They have a fake barrel shroud and wooden plates on stock. These guns are supposed to be visually modified Beretta Model 38/44 but during the action the bolt of a closely seen SMG doesn't move though the gun produce muzzle flame. It is hard to say if this is a mockup with fake muzzle flame or a visually modified Model 38/44.
