You probably can't go wrong with a 9mm, 16" ventilated shrouded barrel, 32 round magazine, British Sterling semi auto Type 2 carbine. You can shoot with the stock folded... but the stock has a small length, due to the design of the full auto Sterling; which still can be purchased in the $10,000-$15,000 range. It is the most dependable submachine gun ever made. You can buy a semi auto carbine Sterling in the $400-$500 range, that is, if you can find one in stock. I own 1 semi auto Type 2 Sterling carbine. It is very reliable with hollowpoints.

Do not use Sten magazines in the Sterling's, due to a chance of premature detonation.
