A submachine gun is a firearm that combines the automatic fire of a machine gun with the cartridge of a pistol, and is usually between the two in weight and size.
Submachine guns lend themselves to moderation with suppressors, particularly so in cases where the weapon is loaded with subsonic ammunition.
Submachine guns are still used by special forces, air crews, armored vehicle crews, counter-terrorist units, and naval personnel.

 Pistolet pulemet   (Site not responding. Last check: )
One of the key things that made this gun cheaper was that there were no screws or bolts on it, all metal parts were stamped.

 [can.talk.guns] FAQ List [quarterly posting]
For "gun control" to prevent suicides, potential suicides would have to be very fleeting impulses that would pass before a person could get a key, put it into a lock, open the lock, load the firearm, and fire it.
Gun control legislation (Bill C-51) was introduced in 1978 in a attempt to reduce violent crime.

From these sources, we know how often guns are involved in crime, how guns are used in crime, what general categories of firearms are most often used in crime, and, to a limited extent, the specific types of guns most frequently used by criminals.
ATF is not able to trace guns manufactured before 1968, most surplus military weapons, imported guns without the importer's name, stolen guns, and guns missing a legible serial number.

A gun is a mechanical device that fires projectiles at high velocity, using a propellant such as gun powder or compressed air.
The term gun is often used as a synonym to firearm, but in its more technical usage refers only to artillery that fires projectiles at a high velocity along a flat trajectory, such as field guns, tank guns and anti-tank guns, and naval guns.
The exception to this is the shotgun, which is hand-held, has a smooth bore and fires a cartridge of pellets.

 A brief history of Auto-Ordnance Corp.
Thompson's new gun was a delayed blowback type feeding from a characteristic drum magazine with an outline which became well known, a finned barrel, two pistol grips and a short butt.
As most submachine guns, it was difficult for the average GI to control in full auto fire.
Although the proportion of Thompson submachine guns misused by Prohibition-era gangsters and Depression-era bandits was minuscule compared to the thousands used by American soldiers and lawmen, it is their lurid employment by hoodlums that is perhaps best remembered.

 Owen Machine Carbine, Mark 1
Although quite large and bulky, the Owen was a first-class gun and very popular with those who used it, for it stood up well to the hard conditions of jungle fighting and stoppages were remarkably rare.
The latter feature is necessary since, due to the method of assembly and construction, the gun can only be dismantled by removing the barel and then taking out the bolt and return spring in a forward direction.
I remember the Owen and a few of its faults, like bumping the butt on the ground or catching the bolt knob on your webbing fired the gun and caused a few casualties in the ranks, till their little nasties were overcome.
