Having spent quite a long time yesterday exploring the origins of the Stemple/BRP STG-76, I figured I should take it out to the range. So, let’s see what sort of groups I can make with a bipod-mounted open bolt 9mm…

Ian’s Custom SIG P365 at the BackUp Gun Match
Yesterday we took a look at the design choices I made for my P365, and how I put it together with ModGuns.com . Today, I’ve got it out at the BUG Match for a trial […]
Bolt Action Rifles
Atmed SMG and an Arisaka Addendum
First up today, we have some additional information on the scaled-down Arisaka trainer from our video on Monday. Teri from Nambu World gave us some more details (thanks, Teri and Chip!) that we would like […]
Bolt Action Rifles
Vintage Saturday: Finnish Militia
The woman at the front right has a Winchester 1895, almost certainly of Russian contract origin in 7.62x54R. The others appear to have Type 30 Arisaka rifles, which would have been sold to Russia by […]
does amazon do prime shipping with these?
Love the soumi stuff
Totally missed an opportunity here to “knock the star out of the target and win a prize!” like the county-fair shooting gallery game.
The Stemple is definitely using surplus Spanish Cetme furniture and not what HK produced for the G3.while similar there are obvious differences. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.-MpRjPsr4JCLpMobj1WeswHaE8%26pid%3DApi&f=1
‘Recreational sub-machine gun’ is an odd term. ‘Fishing hand grenades?’ ‘Personal carry grenade launcher?’ I DO get the straight to high-volume plinking idea, but purpose built just seems like another bizarre corner of the firearms industry.
“Personal carry grenade launcher?”
Do you mean Wurfkörper 361 LP http://www.inert-ord.net/ger03a/wkorp/index.html
?
“…purpose built just seems like another bizarre corner of the firearms industry…”(С)
What’s so freaky about that?
This is not a service weapon. It’s “just for fun.”
Nobody imposes practically any special requirements on such devices except
1. This should work at least once a second.
2. It should be pleasant to use.
Everything else is idle speculation.
“(…)bizarre corner(…)”
Well, so what you say about active in U.S.A. Civil Air Patrol which do chased and attacked submarines during WW2

Soumi drums, for when your shooting buddy complains his double G17 mag carrier is pulling his belt down.
I thought this was a forty-five caliber submachine gun. Are there other caliber options?
Likely not, as the ATF could possibly (and stupidly) accuse someone of marketing to home-grown terrorists. They are a case of lawful-stupid, as they’ve already attempted to arrest and charge antique collectors with the crime of gun-running on the premise that a warehouse of antique guns (ALL OF THE GUNS WERE CENTURY-OLD MUZZLELOADERS WITHOUT MODERN SERIAL MARKINGS) is actually some drug-cartel arsenal. Yes, this is mere exaggeration.
As Ian noted in the previous article, Stemple built these receivers for a .45, and BRP markets them in other calibers (mostly 9mm).
Here in the USA fully automatic weapons are toys for the well to do.
At least the legal ones are…
Who knows how many have turned their Glock into a machine pistol with a piece of wire coat hanger?
