From a Russian sourced ww2 image of a surrendered German under gunpoint, Polish ghetto, were what I suspect is aluminum a widely used - known part?

Looks like a Błyskawica.

Good eye, JimDoc. What’s w the double triggers, a push safety, right? Are there any in the registry?

There is a thread called "Living my heritage - The Błyskawica" over on WeaponsGuild with a lot of info.

I wonder if a BRP tube could be parts-swapped into being a Błyskawica. I imagine parts kits are hard to come by, since those production numbers are crazy low.
