I did these pics ages ago under covid lock down, not just random as I worked in firearms manufacture, I considered technical feasibility but allowed for some complete fantasy. 

 

( allow for the fact I have no knowledge of photo editing and did it on a free app)

 

The great ergonomics of the Thompson with the great manufacturing simplicity of  the STEN.

I guess the Thompsten actually sort of happened with the Sten Mk.V, and the FG42 in 7.92 Kurz would also have been quite possible. Fun exercise! :)

Well...   not sure what to say about these; as a Thompson owner, however, I beg to differ about its "great ergonomics." It's front-heavy and the stock could stand to lose at least an inch. About the only one I find worse is the Hakim. :D
