KIS submachine gun
Looks like a Sten with out a stock and only a pistol grip
A Polish Home Army squad, however cool that would be on its own, rather touches a bit too much on the sore history that is the ‘Soviet “liberation” of Poland’… The HA never actively cooperated with the Soviets, and when time allowed the Reds would go out of their way to round up non-communist partisans (and not at all gently whilst doing so).
Truth is, the Home Army and the Red Army + NKVD mixes together about as well as water and oil. No one outside of Russia buys into the myth of a friendly Russia liberating its Polish allies…
The weapon was patterned after Sten, retaining its left-side magazine. Main differences were a longer barrel, with conical rear part, and lack of stock – the gun had a pistol grip instead.
