For clarfication, I have been wondeing about something. There are certain guns that are called machine pistols rather than submachineguns that baffle me. The reason for this is not just the fact that they are cosmetically
very much rifle like, but that they are chambered in what is usually a
rifle round, so how they can be a pistol does not make sense to me. I was wondering if you gentlemen could clear this up for me.
