[colten]

i love this gun. it's so pretty, and it's just a classic. i'll always have a soft spot for the pre-tacticool era.

Frond of me found a Thompson from WWII on a Beach in Germany last year. She's in pretty good condition after all the years!

[FEARPaintball]

M1 has always been my favorite SMG from WWII. Such a beautiful firearm.

[AzazelCain]

It is also the basis for the Alien movie franchise M41-A Pulse Rifle

[leofightsback]

I have a Thompson pistol. I like it. 20 round stick magazines. I don't carry it much but it's cool to have in my collection.

Awesome!!! Brings back memes of childhood and "Sht. Rock & easy company" comic books ;Sgt. Rock ALWAYS had a "Tommy gun: with a cigar in his teeth and hip firing to kill the enemies
Thanks for bringing back old wonderful memories of my childhood -thank you

[Steelcity]

I have a picture of my pap and his Thompson during ww2. He always said he preferred his M1 Garand more though.👍🏻🇺🇸💪🏻 R.I.P. PAP.

[metabaron]

I reckon I'd like to see a vid on that G3 in the background

Have you ever shot a m200 intervention, it’s just as good as advertised

[stancurry]

As someone who just had to have one of these as a kid to play airsoft with...I can confirm shouldering and maneuvering with that thing was a total disaster, shooting the real thing later on life was just as bad and even heavier then I remembered as a kid. Lots of muzzle climb, though I’m not a regular full auto shooter. Oh well, still my favorite gun ever and still the first one I’d buy if I had a spare 30K 😁

[bucwilde]

Would be very cool addition to my collection; maybe one

[TheAKgunner]

I loved this gun in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault! When I had it, I’d cut down the Germans I faced! It also holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the first machine gun I’ve fired!
That said, in combat, I’d prefer either an M16, or an M4. Both are VASTLY superior to the Thompson. And that hurts to say.

[goodlyantics.]

No drum magazine?
My grandfather said in WWII that he never used a drum mag.

Just noticed that all the experts seem to never have one. Same with vets who used it in combat.

[markgreeley]

Can we talk about flannels in best locker I’ve seen. F’ing love it

[HarborSite-]

I don't know if you have one but I'd love to see a video on the Reising SMG Model 50 or 55.

[prfwrx]

It's crazy to think, the M1 Thompson was the length of an M4 carbine and twice as heavy, and it has a length of pull of an M203 mounted on an M16.

[archangele]

I have a semi auto 1927A1 and the big thing I like is the ergonomics.
I find this gun a LOT easier to shoulder and aim then newer
rifles like the AR platform. I don't see how shouldering that gun is an issue.
I am small and I have absolutely no problem shouldering the gun.
Maybe it is because I am not one who needs to press my cheek into the stock
so hard one displaces their cheek bones like I see all too often.
It is the stock drop that for me makes the gun so easy to use.
I have also used the older full auto 'Chicago Typewriter'
and with the Cutts Compensator, the thing was well behaved.
I guess it is all in how the Thompson fits your body type.
Myself, the lack of drop on the stock of the AR platform makes them
impossible for me to use effectively and makes that gun slow to shoulder
and fire accurately. We are all different.... One size certainly does not fit all.

[nomei]

I'm just gonna say it, the way the bolt holds open on when the mag is empty is genius.

[LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

I'd really wantnto fire B&T APC45 and the Terminator, B&T APC10 10mm Auto in full auto

[sauceru]

I'm a simple man, I see a G3 I like
