I am just curious about some .22 SMG's I have heard of. Ivers Johnson made a .22lr SMG? Didnt they even make a .22 Short SMG? Didnt Colt make an .22lr SMG? Am I just making this up about the Colt? What about the TEC-22? Was that just a .22 version of the TEC-9? Just curious.

22 SMG's

Thompson made a .22 version of the famous 45acp "Tommy Gun". Believe it is extremely rare. There is an Austrian model 180 that has a horizontal drum on top. This was used in some American prisons for the guards. There are quite a few of these in civilan hands in the US. Russia had a .22 version called the "Blyum", similar to the PPSh-41. The Russian designer made several .22 submachine guns. Many .22 kit adapters have been made for full auto guns. The M16, H&K G3, MAC 10 and MAC 11 for example. I have a proto-type .22kit for my Chi-Com full auto AK-47. Full Auto .22 is really fun, especially good for youngsters to get into the full auto scene.
The March 1998 issue of Small Arms Review had an article on .22lr machineguns and subguns starting on page 32.
In the open bolt category they reviewed the American 180, a Group Industries Uzi, Voere (which was imported as a semi-auto open bolt and converted, prior to 1986) which looks like a standard hunting rifle,
