BTW, I thought I should point this out.

On the page it says the compensator/suppressor combo doesn't work. If you look at the suppressor, it has an extened thread that goes past the compensator ports to allow the suppressor to work.

This shot actually proves it:



You can see the muzzle flash coming out of only the front, not the comp cuts. Then again, we shouldn't be able to see the muzzle flash at all.

Sorry I've taken so long to get this done. I've cracked down to finish this tonight.

Why isn't the muzzle flash coming out of the compensator?

you sure it's a SP101, I've never seen one with a squared off trigger guard.

It's not squared off, it's just at a weird angle. Here's a clearer shot of the image:



Not to mention, it's her gun, so of course she'd bring it along.

The suppressor threads are extra long. When he threads it on, it threads all the way though the compensator and blocks the ports, so the gasses can't escape out them. That's how the suppressor cancels the comp.

Has anyone yet managed to figure out what kind of submachine gun this is:



I've seen it in a couple of TV shows filmed in Canada. This is from "Smallville", but I've also seen it in "Viper". I dunno what type of SMG it might be, but it seems to feed from Uzi mags and has an FN FAL-style pistol grip, plus it's an open-bolt design. Something built (mostly) from scratch by a good gunsmith, or a real gun?

Looking at the trigger area in that shot makes me think TEC-9 or some imitation thereof, presumably after losing a fight with a metal press.

But then I saw this: http://www.bookrags.com/wiki/Floro_MK-9

Think that's your mystery gun right there.

I don't think so. The pistol grip does look similar, and it takes Uzi-style mags, but everything else is off, starting with the fact that the mag release on the mystery SMG is located on the back, not the side, of the mag well. Plus, the gun in "Smallville" is clearly an open-bolt design with the bolt located on top of the receiver.

I found a Brazilian subgun which has a similar-looking magwell, which is called the BSM/9 M3. Here's a picture of it:



I don't think this is necessarily the same gun, but it might just be the basis of the Cylon SMG seen in "Battlestar Galactica" and also the same episode of "Smallville":
