- Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

Looks absolutely massive compared to the cartridge size. Got a whole kilo on the mp5 lol
tbf, that's just WW2 SMGs in general - the MP40's nearly 4 kilos, the Sten's about the same as this one, the Thompson (which is in .45 admittedly, but still) almost reaches a whopping 5 kg, and even when lightened in the M1 variant is still heavier than the Garand
simple straight blowback is just heavy, in practice SMGs seem to only become noticeably lighter than assault rifles when you've got fancier systems of operation, whether by gas or some form of delayed blowback
