My friend Panzerschreck has a pre86 dealer sample Thompson M1928, that was actually a Dutch contract. We took it and a few other pieces out to the range today.
I have a love/hate relationship with Thomspons. I hate the weight, and the ergonomics are weird.....the buttstock manages to be too long and too short at the same time.
I love the craftsmanship and reliability that comes from a first generation submachine gun.
I'm sure that the guys that humped these hated the weight while they were marching, but when they got where they were going and had to drop the hammer, I know they were glad to have it.

From the Vickers Tactical Subgun class of Aug '08. It was damn hot.
