Seems to be missing details for building the mag and I'm not clear on the ejection and few other issues.

If Tony Stark can make an Iron Man prototype smiths can make functional firearms in an Afghani cave...

As long as I have a drill, file and some material, I will always be armed.

Why build a junky scrap metal SMG, when you could buy real DEWATS from places like Hunters Lodge for cheap? You could also buy neat live toys like Lathi's in the coffin case with skis with 100 rounds of 20mm AP ammo for $100. Common mags were dirt cheap then also. I still have boxes of 15rd M-1 Carbine mags new in the wax paper wrap that I got for $0.25 each in the late 1980's.

Those Paki gun makers in the tribal region make some cool variations of weapons. They also hand reload Berdan primed steel case ammo. I think they even make the primer mixture & propellant from scratch.
