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 😁
Auto Ordnance still makes semi auto Thompson guns in both the classic gangster Chicago Typewriter format and the later WWII style. They are not cheap. Like $1800 but that is a LOT less then a full auto WWII or earlier one and they are still fun to shoot. Plus, you don't need to deal with that federal tax / license hassle to own one. As for price for a select fire, you are really looking at over $40,000 for one in reasonably good condition but not perfect. I doubt you'd find one for $30K now.
@@archangele1 lol, I don’t even know where I got 30 from, I figured even more then 40, especially the one I’d want. As for the semi one, I believe I’ve seen one before, not really for me, maybe for 500 lol
@@stancurry6265 There are two select fire Thompsons at a gun store near me. The owner said they want $40,000 for each one. I have fired a full auto and it is fun to a point. But no way could I justify paying $40,000 for one. My semi auto version for me is just as cool to use. Plus I don't have to deal with the regulations for either a SBR or a full auto gun. The Auto Ordnance company is the same one what made the old full auto ones. The semi auto 1927A1 was a model they made in the 20's that was semi auto only. I just like the look and feel of the older 1920's type Thompson.
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.
I’ll keep doing longer stuff, but they take a lot longer to make and I needed something to bridge the gap between those and shirts. You should see at least one of these plus companion disassembly vid once a week.
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.
30 round sticks were the preferred one. Could carry a lot of them and reload them easier, and they were a lot more ergonomic compared to drums. Cheaper and faster to produce as well.
I have a Thomson M1A1 like this and Shoulder sighting is very good because you pull it towards you for snug tight and steady sight in. And the gun in itself is very well balance unlike the German MP40 which is front heavy.
The Thompson is made of real hardened steel and uses no aluminum or plastic parts. My 1927A-1 semi auto Thompson weighs just over 13 lbs with a 30 round stick magazine. Mine has a 16" barrel and the Cutts Compensator on the end as well as the pistol grip front and back since it is the classic Chicago Typewriter series. Also takes the drum magazines. If you want light and are the type of person who seems to like guns with no drop to t he stock like a normal rifle, you will NOT like the Thompson. But for many of us, it is a far quicker gun to shoulder and fire then the AR platform and that heavy weight means virtually no recoil in semi auto and even a full auto format. But, I am talking of the classic 20's vintage and style and not the later cheaper and more cut down WWII military model. That model lacked the flip up rear sight and the Cutts Compensator on the end of the barrel as well as the finned barrel.
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.
Exactly! I have the M1A1 and the ergo and shouldering is great. Not sure what he's bitching about being hard to shoulder and aim. He probably expects it to be like shouldering a Remington MSR Sniper Rifle.
Actually the Thomsen sub machine gun is being used by Russians right now. There's photos going right now. So technically the Thomsen is still a relevant gun.
@@stoops187 You were close! I own one, engraved.45 pistol my dad had made for me when I was commissioned in the army. I’m impressed at how much this guy and his fans know. Expertise.
ima stop you at the beginning sir ii know how to use that gun ( never held 1 in real life) edit drum mags all the way for me ioncare if she jams gimme the drum
You got all these guns but never shooting them before the videos over like I don’t care about the knowledge you giving if your not going to show what you saying it pointless! 8 minute video and not a single round fired and unsubscribing I am✌🏾
Submachine gun design peaked right near the beginning with the Thompson and took until the mp5 and a few modern designs until anything good was made again
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!
M1 has always been my favorite SMG from WWII. Such a beautiful firearm.
It is also the basis for the Alien movie franchise M41-A Pulse Rifle
Don’t forget to duct tape a flamethrower, so you can save your surrogate daughter from those acidic xenos.
Yep, with a Browning 12 gauge pump mounted underneath
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.

@@armandgun
Oh ok. That clears up something I often wondered about. Thank you. Love the channel.
Drums also generally are not considered reliable enough for military use.
M1 or M1A1 didn't have a receiver cut out to use a drum.
Would be very cool addition to my collection; maybe one day.......
Have you ever shot a m200 intervention, it’s just as good as advertised

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.

Hei
Not a Chicago typewriter that’s the 1928 Thompson this is the updated version from the 40’s
It was also not designed in WWI. I believe it hit the market in the early 20s.
I’m more confused now 😂
