Thompson, called also Thommy gun, was used by American soldiers at WW II becouse it was very heavy gun. But there is also bad points of Thompson. It was very hard to aim with it. It had huge recoil. Also it was very loudly. This weapon was used not also at WW II. It was used by FBI after WW II, when famous gangsters like Bonnie or Clyde was hunting to get some money! Unfortunately, 3/4 is destroyed, only few is in museums in USA. Today, one model, costs about 15 000$!
Now, few words about how to hold a thommy gun!
It is very important to hold gun well. Bad holding can break our weapon or even hurt us!
The biggest lie about Thomp (and also other machine guns) is holding
gun's MAGAZINE. Gun can screw up, and all what can do with screwed up Thomp is throwing on the ground gun and take another. There is 2 ways to hold Thompson well:
1. Hold wooden hand (picture)
2. Install special hand (It's more comfortable)
Why Thompson? Ah, ofc, from maker of gun - Gen John T. Thompson. He saw that WW I weapons are very heavy and they needs few mens to shoot by it. So he made lighter weapon - our Thommy.
At the end - Thompson is very good weapon, but he also has got bad points. It is known and patriotical gun. Yeah, you can't buy real Thompson, but there are milion replicas of it and many informations and book about this gun.
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed it!
Kisses and love
