Wanted to do something unique for a US SMG other than "HOMG ANOTHER THOMPSON"
United Defense M42 Submachinegun - 9mm. Used by US OSS Operators and other Clandestine or US allied partisan units behind enemy lines. Beloved for it's mechanical ruggedness and simplicity, the UD-M42 was very popular among special operations groups.

THEY TOOK ER JERBS!!!

Anyway, yeah this would be a cool model to use as a tommy replacement!!!

How different is the M42 from the Owen's SMG?

the owens in my pic is top feed magazine, but I am sure it is moveable.

Just wondering if there is any relations?

the owen's feed is strictly top-down, and I doubt that the owen had a part to play in the UD42's design.

the only thing they have in common is that they both fire the 9mm NATO round. thats it.

the owen was a mix between the sten and the german mp40.

still would look nice

I believe you're thinking of 9mm Parabellum, there is no 9mm NATO round. :p

This gun has been attempted many times before throughout DoD's history but no one has had the dedication to run with it the whole way, hope you finish this mate.

get it meshed and i'll skin it
