Thompson Love....man that sounds bad.

Well, Drum Mag came in the mail today, got the rank of Moderator, Computer and Camera are finally cooperating, what better time then to upload some pictures of my Thompson eh?

My Thompson extravaganza:








I took this one so you could see how big it is, compared to a quarter. It's a little over 6 inches wide by 1.5 inches thick.


And this so you could see how it looks when held, not to show off my kit


So thats my Shiela
Tell me what you guys think and if you like original look or the look with the drum mag!

it looks nice with the drum. it's not quite a M1928, but getting there!
congrats, man!

what's the round capacity for the drum?

450 rounds. And Yeah If I do EVER find a place that will sell me the M1928 conversion kit, I'm going to convert my old Thompson because it needs a new barrel anyway. I wonder if they make a Cutts Compensator? THEN I would have a 1928

its cool but the KWA is a lot cooler. but i like the look of it but i am just a modern person

i'll keep an eye out for them, man!

I love it! How does that drum feed DT?

Hey did you guys see CYMA's typewriter thompson yet? I offically want one either for a Brit WW2 or Mafioso kits!

sticks

that's what M14 is looking for! (i think)

@Sticks: It feeds pretty well, out of 450 rds. only about four of those misfeeds where it just lobs two BBs out at a time. It doesn't have a very fast ROF to keep up with, so I shouldn't have to worry about that. Later I'm planning on doing a full review in the Accesories section with more pics and everything. It winds VERY easily and smoothly, the wheel is HUGE and easily accessed.
@ Jar; I've already drooled over that gun for about 20 mins. after AFU sent me the Link. Yes it is what I want to END UP with, but I want to get it by buying the conversion kit to fix up my Old Thompson other than just buying the exact same gun in a different body again...I don't have that much money to blow!!
Then I would have THREE working Thompsons

haha, you should buy it, and i can solve your Thompson problem! you could give me one!

ok...really....im gonna have to be the immature one?


THATS WHAT SHE SAID! and that thing is awesome! nice job dude!

The drum mag, does it load like a high-cap, with the winder on the bottom?

If not I may have to get one for my Thompson, 450 isn't that much over the High-caps, but having a continual feed would be nice just for the sake of it.

How do you intend to carry that during ops?
I guess something like this might work? http://www.3l-intl.com/TG300B-Black-MOLLE-Gas-Mask-Drum-Mag-Pouch-p/tg300b.htm

Yeah, I haven't dedicated to it yet, but I was thinking of giving my Thompson real wood.

yes its is, the well scorpion drum mag has the same idea, it perfer it over the bottom winding wheel, and it is also easier.

That giant knob with the arrows on it is indeed the winding wheel. It winds SO easily and smoothly, it's unbelievable. I can wind it two times around with nothing but my pinky the action is so easy, free and smooth and it's got another 30 rds. loaded.
Not sure where I'm going to store it but that's a great idea....I need to rig up something soon though.
About the real wood, I WAS very dedicated to it, until my locale shop told me somebody had paid almost as much as the gun for their wood set. If I found a cheap one I would do it in a second. (ASGI used to have on for $80....)

try this link, it goes to shorty USA but should be a google search, which will let me link (which shorty USA doesn't).

Something like that might work, although I have seen a few other things I can suggest.

i've seen some pouches for sale that are chinese RPK drum pouches. you should get one of those. i'm thinking two drums will fit in it, actually,

I took a pic, but ServeImg wont let me upload it...I figured it out. I have a pocket on my BDU's that are just BARELY big enough to fit it!! BOOM ROASTED
A few problems though are that It's a tight fit and it takes some fidgeting to get in and out without damage, and it puts alot of pressure on the winding wheel, and it worries me....

Also, If you look closely on the pic with the quarter, you can see right smack in the middle of the drum theres a clip!! I can secure it in pockets and such with this...it's actually really handy!

well, that's good, i guess

It'll work for the moment, which is all I need. Until I find it a better home.
MAN I gotta say, that thing sure feels solid! Fully loaded it feels like it's about two pounds!! It really adds weight to the gun and gives it a realistic feel. When it's loaded it feels like I could whack someone and knock them out

haha, maybe you should! (jedi mind trick) you hate durkee

Nice D-T,

Goes to show the versatility in AS, Not everyone marches to the beat of the same drummer


I Like it !!

Do you consider your thompson accurate??

Yes. I've stated many a time that the accuracy on this gun is its Best Attribute.
I've seen many reviews (Including BoomStick @ Kapowwe.com) say that this gun has the most accurate Iron Sights they've ever seen.
Although it may not get quite as much distance, it's even more accurate than my KWA M4 (But we'll see about that when I get it back from the shop with its Tightbore In)
That's not to say it Doesn't get Distance. Semper Fi can tell you all about the distance it gets my by showing you the "Mosquito Bite" on his neck
Then again he left a nice plucker right on MY neck too!
