Here is a good quality picture of Polish machinegun, nicknamed Błyskawica (lightning), made in conspiracy, in workshops, during German occupation. It wasn’t one of better guns of that time but with Sten 9 mm ammunition it was functional. Also Stens, Vis pistols and two kinds of hand grenades were produced in Poland, in conspiracy, in that time.
