Using hindsight what would the ideal Gen 1 SMG be like?

>thompson style furniture and iron sights
>.25 ACP, 9mm, .45 ACP or .38 Super drum magazines because (can somehow magically transform from feeding from a side magazine well to a bottom one)
>hinged stock
>solid damacene plating with ivory and engraving of like i dunno elephants and pheasants and shit i dont fucking care some sort of exotic bird or large overrated animal
>somehow make the rate of fire slow as fuck
>gun should have a voice box built into the stock that talks with an old tymey radio voice
>fuck it some should be made out of bakelite furniture like an old bell telephone and blued/nickel plated steel with art noveau pinup whores behind a transparent cover like sweetheart grips
but for every non metal part of the stock

Dunno I'm drunk and don't really have a real point to this thread I just think that the Thompson, MP34, Reisling and American 180 were cool.

God I wish I lived in the 1920's.

Literally just an MP34 chambered for 9x25mm Mauser export.

Anyone who has actually fired a Thompson (or even just fingerfucked one) knows Thompson guns are incredibly overrated and generally just suck ass.

The MP-18 with an un-fucked magazine system.

The Beretta model 38 is the ideal gen 1 sub gun.

It's fine once you get some practice.

Nah, the Thompson sucks. The Reising is lighter and also has minimal recoil. Its main drawbacks are hand fit parts and the awkward placement of the charging handle.

I want a Thompson with an inline stock and quad stack mags.
