ZK-383H submachine gun

Designed by the brothers Koucky, manufactured by Zbrojovka Brno c.1938-50′s, H model c.post-WW2.
9x19mm Parabellum 30-round magazine, blowback automatic, folding magazine and magazine well.
The H model did away with its magazine loading onto the left side of the receiver to adopt a more modern and usual bottom one. The original placement was caused by the use of this weapon as a squad machine gun role, mounted with a bipod, despite its use of a pistol round. This original use however meant that the ZK-383 series was a very sturdy weapon by SMG standards.

M1914 Lewis machine gun

Designed by the American colonel Isaac Newton Lewis, manufactured by Birmingham Small Arms in England. Serial Number A-37289.
47-rounds .303 British pan magazine.

A Canadian light machine gun design making use of the parts from recently-retired Ross rifles with some elements from the Lewis gun. Although no crippling flaws were noticed in field trial, and although it was in fact more resistant than many other similar gun at the time, the war ended before it could be adopted, and development was subsequentially halted. French Canadian blacksmith Joseph Alphonse Huot lost a considerable amount of money in the process with nothing to show for it.
