I don't see a submachine gun in the photos just some wooden device in the first photo. Am I missing something?

Yeah. The bamboo stick is a smoking impliment and the machine gun is cunningly concealed as the mobile phone in the foreground, or it isn't, and we probably shouldn't smoke anything that looks like it has a barrel.

That "wooden device" is a sub blow pipe.  Capable of shooting out 100 words of b*llsh*t by the user, per minute.  ?
