Submachine Guns

Custom submachine gun

During the assassination of Francesco Santoro, Salvatore Scalia (Biagio Pelligra) is armed with a submachine gun that appears to be the same custom weapon that is seen in Brothers Till We Die that was filmed in a previous year by the same film director Umberto Lenzi. It seems to be based on the receiver of Beretta Model 38/44. A folding buttstock is mounted instead of the fixed wooden one of the original gun, the wooden stock is covered with metal plates, the barrel is shortened, the gun is fitted with pistol grip, and the magazine well and short (20-rounds) magazine are covered with a wooden foregrip.
