I was looking over the original design of the Carlos because i was talking with a Irish friend about realistic sub machine gun that could be made in Ireland in 1921. He suggested something based of the blyskawica sub machine gun or the German MP 3008. So i made my own version but with some changes to make it more likely and real to fit the situation in the story.

History

The Carlos was made for the need of a cheap reliable sub machine gun for the armed forces of the towns of Caguas and Gurabo. They were a several guns the Cuguax council wanted to make. The m3a1 Grease gun which was compact and could be chambered for both 45acp and 9mm and had machinery for it setup for it in the factory but the springs were difficult to make. The Sten gun which was very cheap and simple but had spotty reputation and the Carl Gustav m/45 a fantastic sub machine gun but could only be chambered in 9mm and the Thompson sub machine gun which was to expensive to make. A military engineer and amateur gunsmith called Carlos A. Rodriguez decide to combine all of the good things about these guns in to one gun. The gun took the simplicity of the Sten and the reliability and the vertical mag well of of the Carl Gustav m/45 with a modified Thompson stick magazine that could use both 9mm and .45 acp. The prototype was finished in a week and was tested in the Alvarez hacienda by the suggestion of Caesar himself. The gun passed with flying colors and was soon in production. The first model looked like a m3 grease gun but later models were simplified. All of the models had a conversion kit for 9mm and .45 acp/ .455 webley auto with made it easy for to use any of the three ammunition available. They were very popular with the IRA as they were cheap and very easy to make. The Magazine for the Carlos was a copy of the M3 Grease gun. The Carlos could use Thompson magazines with the use of a modified magazine well the IRA had plenty due to gun smuggling from the U.S. The Carlos was favored by The Twelve Apostles as it can be suppressed with only the bolt doing a light sound. About five million Carlos were made in Ireland and are still in use with the reserves.
