Banten’s police chief displays a P.A Luty designed expedient submachine gun equipped with suppressor as well as a crude homemade copy of a Thompson, both of which were seized from militants operating in Java.
Fact of the day: convicted drug dealers in Indonesia are forced to burn their own drugs themselves and watch, after which they are required to do a happy dance. Hopefully this is not the case with firearms.

Luty's design seems to turn up all over the place. It's sort of the STEN of our time in the sense that it's often made clandestinely. I find the Thompson copy intriguing. There seems plenty of precedent for Thompson copies but I assumed that was more historical than current but that copy doesn't look all that old!
The Thompson model looks a lot like the 'Oddball' build. Directions can be found in a number of places, including this video:
