Found an interesting vid on the Utuber. Perhaps one of you more tech savvy gents can put it up for general perusal if you see fit. It's called "Service tests of modern sub machine guns (1941) and other Historic Films on the Owen gun (1940's)". It was posted up by UoNCC some threes ago.
Is this the one?Quote:

Yes! Poor bugger in the gas mask had a day of it.
Interesting 20 minutes of viewing there. I only remember our Owens with the sletonised butts and bayonet mounts. Later versions. By '68 or so they'd all gone except for some stragglers, so said, in the CMF/TA armouries. Nice to see.....
Gasmask to keep the sand out of his eyes and nose.
Bit more on the Owen from my shelves.
Have only graze read it interesting info in there may get to grips with it later next year.
My first Skill at Arms badge was with the Owen.....loved that gun.
I assume the Lanchester wasn't trialed as it was a RN and RAF weapon?
