    Default Lets talk Thompson's



    I remember shooting one many years ago and thinking what a great piece. I only realised much later that this thing weighs just under 5 kg's (more than a M1 Garand in fact). Anyone else had the pleasure of playing with one and/or what are your thoughts? IMO it's a beast and I really liked it. The gun seemed suited to the .45 cartridge and you get a nice push as opposed to a climb when firing. Anyone else a fan?

    yes I am a fan!
    I am studying an awesome brand of leg fighting which was inspired by dung beetles and I think my brand of Kraft Manure is superior to all other styles ever invented. Furthermore I challenge all other manurists to a rolling contest where we shall establish whose manure ball is the biggest! I shall call it Honest Kraft Manure and declare it superior to all other brands of manure and will tell you that I have claimed the lineage directly to Imshi the great Dragon Kru Master Beetler who invented manuring, by gathering all manure from different animals together and making it work as the worlds most effective fertilizer. I proved myself by being members of not one but three super elite special gardening departments who were responsible for spreading manure to combat weed infestations!

    Second favourite subgun that Ive actually shot.

    The M1 (or M1A1) version you have shown is my mostest favorite hand held full auto weapon on earth...second would be a toss up between the BAR and the MP5...mostly I think FA should be belt fed...heh heh ;D
