Hi James
Yes a 9mm Stirling sub machine gun (SMG)
A pretty useless weapon to be honest !

Here is a 1983 photo of Myself and a Fellow Medic with the AMB I drove while a Medic with the Canadian Armed Forces.
The truck was an older Dodge Power wagon and that thing NEVER got stuck in all the years I drove it. The buildings in the background are original WW2 "H" huts, now all long gone. The photo was taken at CFR Meaford just 2 years after they reopened the Ranges, which had been closed for many years. This is now a larger updated Training area.
That's me at the rear of the Truck with the beret

Back in 1972, two of our men were travelling down Andersonstown Road in civvies in an unmarked car on covert ops. Danny C's driver noticed another car behind them which suddenly accelerated and drew level with them. The passenger window opened and out popped a Provo gunman with a Thompson smg. Just before he fired, Danny's driver anchored on and the Provo's overshot them - their bullets raking the front end of Danny's car. They gave chase. Danny pops his head through the window and cocks his Sterling smg to fire at the Provo's. The magazine fell off before he could pull the trigger. A pretty useless weapon at times!
