A couple small SMG’s. The British Sterling and VZ25 SMG. The British gun was WW2 coming out in 1944, unfortunately the Czech gun didn’t come out till I think 1948, but would have made a nice Guerilla gun.

It’s Bethesda. Not real
Sterling wasn’t adopted by the British Army until 1953. That said it was in trials in 1944 so we could have an experimental version like with the RD-44. I believe they were called “Patchett Mk.1 SMGs” back then. One of the more notable differences would be the distinctive curved magazines would not be designed until 1946, so earlier prototypes fired from the straight STEN box mags instead. It would look something like this:

Short barrel BAR - my god that bloody thing would throw fireballs considering that 30-06 doesn’t have enough barrel lenght to burn its powder.
At night you would blind the enemy shooting that abomination

We have already so many prototypes - adding an early Sterling wouldn’t be crazy at all.

Looking into it more, there are a few examples of Patchett Mk1 SMGs being used by British No. 4 Commandos during Operation Infatuate in 1944, so its really not too far fetch at all.
