I had the opportunity when I got out of the Marine Corps in 2005 to buy 1 or both M1A1 Thompsons with 1944 serial numbers from an estate of a gentleman I knew who had passed for 5k apiece because he would’ve wanted me to have at least one the family told me because he was WW2 USMC vet. I had gotten to fire both multiple times with him previously and were an absolute joy! The boss said absolutely NO because I had more then enough cash on hand from 3 deployments 2001, 2003, and 2004-2005 because I didn’t have job yet and was planning on going back to school. Plus she wanted that money to goes towards a down payment on a house. They sent them off to auction and I believe they got $8,500 for one and $9,000 for the other. There was way too much list in his collection like a couple BARs, MP40, MP44, and the list goes on. I believe they cleared at the auction around 500k from his collection. I kick myself to this day and don’t let her live it down because from my research they would be worth 25-30k apiece now which at that time the 1921s were going between 20-30k in 2005!
@@muwuny Correction. Developed by Canadian John Candius Garand at the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts, therefore it's an American made weapon. I know. I own one and that man was a genius.
I love the Thompson growing up until I shot one in Las Vegas. I enjoyed shooting the m3 but it’s nowhere cooler than a Thompson. Any gun you Larry is shoot is fun to watch. I also give credit to your film crew too.
Your video quality is outstanding, nice to watch the different angles in action including slow motion, when we shoot our own our attention is focused. I shoot a 1928 also probably my last to complete the collection. Look forward to a profile on a American BAR .
Now that was fun I love mine You could seriously lose yourself in old weapons Prototypes and production models Just the variation of ideas is astounding to me. Particularly the late 1800's and early 1900's Good stuff man
What a sweet blaster! I've always wanted to fire one of these on full auto.. have had the chance to fire an Uzi and an Ak in full auto..never one of these. Always been one of my favorites. Sure wish we could still walk in a hardware store and pick one of these up.. without all the paperwork! Sounds like it's going to be a good series! Thank you for everything you do LAV! ✌️
If you swap the bolt group for a 1921 one, which is lighter, it ramps up the rate of fire about 100 rpm more, averaging on 950 rpm. It's actually more controllable, because it has less mas going back and forth, and the higher rate of fire makes it feel more like a high pressure water hose.
@@sunstruckfarms4489 Nope, they lowered the rate of fire to reduce ammo consumption. Similar deal to what they did to the M16A2 by restricting fullauto to three round bursts.
Great video. In the future of this series, would it be possible to do the M2 Carbine? I don't know if I've ever seen footage of one of them being fired full auto. I would love to know how they are to control on full auto.
The Johnson rifle that competed with Garand, and the Johnson automatic rifle, I can't remember its designation but used the same reciprocating barrel design and fed from a magazine on the side
The REME saw lots of 1928A1 guns in North Africa and Italy. The first thing they did was to drill and tap the bolt with a hex screw to immobilize the Blish lock and then solder shut the witness holes in the magazine.
The CMMG Guard gives civilians a modern semi automatic .45 acp that is dependable, affordable and more ergonomic. But I love the Thompson. Firing full automatic from the shoulder, I can put three hits on a man sized target every single time.😎 Also you can place the buttstock on your chin and fire full automatic as the recoil is very gentle. Damn the NFA!
How about showing Winchester/Remington/Ithaca battle shotguns? You also can’t go wrong with anything Browning. LAV did a nice review of the BAR, might be time to update. Always great content Larry! Thanks!
Being a huge James Bond fan, the John Gardner books introduced me to the ASP 9mm pistol and I've had a love affair with it ever since. Would love to own one but they are not cheap nowadays. Would love to hear and see Larry's take on the ASP pistol.
Gotta see the M1 Garand, the M14 the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), the Colt 1917, the S&W 1917, and the S&W Model 10. You have covered the Colt M1911, so we are good there.
Still my opinion no other firearm comes near as sexy as this one. I'm hot damn excited for this series and am eager to see the old 1920 Springfield bolt action rifle during WWII. AWESOME!!!!!!!👍🇺🇸🥇🗽🥇🇺🇸👍
5:57 As you look closely, you can see sheared metal flying out of the ejection port. Overall, love the Thompson, was one of my favorite guns in Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games.
Title briefly had me thinking BCM is now making Thompsons. Lol.
I'd launch my credit card out of a cannon at Bufoni.
Me too
Same! I thought what a strange change of direction for BCM 😂
me too
Same here
I love the sound of a Thompson in the morning, sounds like victory.
Here are 3 ideas I’d like to see:
M2 Hyde
M3 Grease Gun WITH OSS Suppressor
M231 Firing Port Weapon
Would LOVE to see the M231!!!!!
Forgotten Weapons channel covered the M-231

I'd love to see Larry rip it up with a 231! Especially if the owner would let him slide a D60 in it 😁
Man those barrel fins are a work of art.
Would def like to see Springfield 1903 with Pederson Device
Yeah, no you don't 🤣 jk. it was certainly interesting history
Thats lan's job
Those are very rare well the pedersen device. Only 200 Pedersen Devices left in the world

I’d like to see either the m1941 or m1945 Johnson rifle in this series.
Yes
This, one of the most elegant looking firearms of all time
I 2nd that!
I was going to say that you beat me to it
Or m1941 johnson lmg
To see Monitor, that would be something cool I think.
2nd this one!
The BAR from the legend, John Browning. Thanks.
This was uploaded on my birthday, my all-time favourite WWII gun.
Reising m50/m55 would be pretty cool to see.
Would love to see a video on the Mac 10/11 series smg's, also the SW 76 smg.
The MAC 10, the Miamii Device.
I would like to see Larry shoot a lever action and give his take on the efficacy of it as a fighting rifle for its time.
Larry vickers the man behind some of the dopest guns .... Really appreciate the work you do it dont look like much but it counts ....
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing an Ithaca 37 either in standard configuration or the stakeout model.
Hell yes, an iconic combat shotgun
GREAT AMERICAN GUN!!!!!! THE TRUE FIRST AMERICAN SMG.
I do believe the M3A1 "Grease Gun" Submachine gun would be a fine addition
He's already got like 6 videos on the Grease Gun
I want to see Vietnam era CAR-15 with 30round mag.
That's been covered by LV
How about a 607?
Has he shot a car-15 with a functional moderator?! I'll have to search for that, if not I'd like to watch!

M2 carbine, S&W 76, and of course the ultimate movie gun the MAC-10 in 45 acp
You should show is a M2 or M3 carbine in full auto Larry!
My great grandfather carried a M1928A1 Thompson during the invasion of Saipan. He also carried a captured Arisoka rifle in addition to the Thompson.
Amazing machine !!!

G.I. COMBAT: Haunted Tank too!
@@christopherhazell420 😉👍🏾
Budabudabudabuda!!!😂 The sound of a submachine gun in Sgt Rock spelled out . I grew up glued to that comic series as a kid.
Badass. Thompson in 45 Super? Nasty room clearing.
Well, there was a prototype in .30 Carbine. That rounds has more range, penetration and, maybe, more stopping power, than .45 Super.
I love the Thompson growing up until I shot one in Las Vegas. I enjoyed shooting the m3 but it’s nowhere cooler than a Thompson. Any gun you Larry is shoot is fun to watch. I also give credit to your film crew too.
Beautiful artifact from American America.
Hard to get more American than that!
All the best to You from Europe!

Just awesome. I love seeing how the weapon functions up close super slow-mo.
Definitely wanna see ACR Bushmaster, one of the coolest ones in my opinion
Would love to see the M1A1 Thompson, and the M1 Garand rifle. Also a comparison of the M1A1 Thompson with the M1928A1 Thompson.
Now that was fun
I love mine
You could seriously lose yourself in old weapons
Prototypes and production models
Just the variation of ideas is astounding to me.
Particularly the late 1800's and early 1900's
Good stuff man
Such a beautiful gun. I love it ! (And m1a1 variant).
My favourite gun especially with 100 round
I definitely envy you Larry. You get to shoot all these great historical firearms for a living. A dream job for sure.
What a beautiful firearm!
Keep rockin Larry. Some of the best vids to watch
AWESOME, a classic and collectible! Thanks Larry, Stay Strong and Be Safe!

Indeed he does. Not sure how I missed it, but there it was in his feed and I hadn't seen it. Thanks for the tip

One of your best concepts ever, LAV. Y'all should take on St. John's Model 8/81 Remington as well as his A-5. Keep up the great work!
I'd love to see a Savage Model 99 or a US made P14 Enfield or 1917 because, they have interesting backgrounds!
I'm gonna rewind this and watch it again
Thank you for filming in 4K
