Description
"Well, Miss Drew, what can we do for you this morning?" he asked. "We have some diamond-studded detective badges, solid gold. Or ow about a pearl-handled machinegun to ward off desperadoes?"
('The Password To Larkspur Lane', 1933)
Back in the Great Depression, even Nancy Drew (sometimes) carried a gun and this may be what the jeweler was suggesting in the dialog above. Built from parts supplied by the Monarch Gun company of Hollywood, California, the standard Colt .38 Super was converted to full automatic and fitted with a Thompson foregrip and a 22 round magazine.
The Poser model above was made useing Billy-T's Auto handgun Set, (Magazine half-extracted) Crowfoot's Thompson (Metal parts blanked out, sholder stock and pistol grip out of the picture) and a torus.

Nice conversion. The TV series The Man Fom U.N.C.L.E. had an over-the-top P-38 with a scope,long barrel,shoulder stock and an extended magazine

Thanks vkoontz, I was a fan of The Man From UNCLE. Too bad my gun can't be used in scenes, because I couldn't blank out the Thompson's other wood parts.

The concept of turning a semi-automatic handgun into a full-automatic machine pistol has been around at least since the 1930's when Spanish arms manufacturer ASTRA made the Model F which was a version of the Mauser 96 with the addition of an automatic-fire option. Today the concept lives on in such arms as the fully automatic Glock and the Beretta 93-R. The Beretta 93-R acctualy has a small foregrip to make it easier to control. Very nice picture.

Actually the Italians did it first with what was the forrunner of the submachine gun the Villa Posar used in WW1. Well done conversion and it answers all the biggest problem with machine pistols, control. The only problem here is a pocket big enough to put it in!!!
