Here is a photo of two Australian soldiers with Owen submachine guns. The only all Australian designed and manufactured SMG.

Reliable and durable, it was used well into the Vietnam conflict.

frown Nope, Gaz, I have never even seen one.

The only Submachine gun I ever fired was the military WWWII Thompson. Far heavier than you'd think, VERY noisy, and hard to control. But ... you hit something, it stayed hit shocked
