No clue on the backstory here... the producer of a film I'm working for emailed the photos to me asking WTF is was... I was stumped as well. I'm assuming it's a BFA movie prop.

I saved a SMG from a pile of guns to be destroyed last week. It was a Reising SMG, along with some other firearms on the chopping block. It will be added to the collection/gun library at my office.

1. Is that legal?
2. There's a lot better choices than a Reising. I've had the itch for a BAR.

1. Yes, the court allows the LE agency to keep it for reference once the case is adjudicated.

2. Yes, there are many choices, but I only saw a few guns that we don't have in our collection of about 6,000 guns at the office.
