Description This reminds me of the Berretta M12 SMG.

I added the M1928's pistol grip on the forward section. I also spent way too much time trying to drill holes in the metal above the barrel. 

I made 3 magazines for it. A 1.5 stack, a single stack and a drum mag I modeled after modern 1911 20 round drum mags

Updated 3/15/22 I fixed it I fixed it. The stupid single stack magazine was driving me crazy all day at work. There was no way I could engineer something that was half a single stack and half double in a magazine. I could not imagine how a spring would raise the bullets all the way up the mag. So the solution was simple if inelegant. I had to widen the pistol grip to accept a double stack magazine. So I looked online for some comparisons, found some and took measurements. Then I widened things a bit. Just to be accurate, I also took a 45 ACP out of my night stand and took some measurements with a caliper. I then filled the mag with bullets. I learned it was too short front to back. But you are looking at a fat 40 round magazine. I did away with the drum mag. It was superfluous.
