About this image
This is an image from a FO4 mod I'm working on called Weapon Addition and Replacement Suite (WARS).
The WIP thread can be found here.
The vanilla "Submachine Gun" art assets are... well, I won't mince words; they're somewhat misshapen, inaccurate and ugly. Fortunately, sgtbarney kindly contributed some much better - and much more true-to-life - meshes for me to include in WARS, replacing the vanilla SMG assets. I adapted them for use in FO4 (making some minor changes and additions in the process) and gave them some textures.
Here are some comparison shots (in Substance Painter) of the standard Thompson and the unique "Silver Submachine Gun".
For now I've left the magazines unchanged on the Silver version since I kind of like the two-tone look, and it makes a little more sense to me than having a ready supply of similarly silvered magazines. In the same vein, I went with black paint on the wood as it feels more believable to me than the "black wood" of the vanilla Silver SMG.

I'll put the call out for testers in the WARS WIP thread when the time comes around, so keep an eye on that.
Also, agreed with the black magazines. More logical and look better.
