  1. Mr. Thompson literally designed his gun around a physical principle which doesn’t actually exist. And while cutting edge in the 1920’s, by WW2 it was an overly expensive and heavy smg.

  2. Glenn X Yah it was a great design in 1918. Not in 1941.

  3. Glenn X It was useable. So was every other firearm issued by the United State military, and every other morally on the face of the Planet. That’s not “good” means when we’re talking about firearms, especially in warfare. Fact remains that militaries around the world quickly replaced the Thompson when they got the first chance, be it for a gun that was lighter, cheaper, or better, or all three.

  6. Glenn X Yah I know, and the Thompson was still overly expensive and heavy compared to them. That’s how out of date the weapon was.

  7. Glenn X .45 ACP has next to nothing to do with the design of the weapon. Fact is the US military ditched the Thompson for the M3 Grease gun for a reason.
