Well I would think that the clips would carry as many rounds as they do in real life:
M1 Garand..10rnds M1 Carbine..20rnds M1911A1..7/8rnds (8 with one round in the chamber) M1A1 (tommy)..30/50 (box or drum) MP-40..28rnds K98..5rnds MG34 or 42..50 (for a single belt) P.08 (luger)..8rnds P38..8rnds Bazooka/panzershreak..1 (of course) Ok I'll stop. of course, two seconds after the release someone will make a mod for a million round clip. ------------------ Ein Führer!

well I'll admit I was wrong on the garand (i dont care much for american weapons anyway) but the Mp40 had a 32 round clip BUT, they would not fill them completly because the spring would be so tight that the gun would double-feed, and blow the thing and you up

Also, the Carbine had 15 rounds http://www.pcgamers.net/ubb/smile.gif

and the thomspon M1A1 had 20 rounds, but the one with the cutts compensator had 30. they didnt really use the drum clips much, though british commandos tended to.

The m1923 Tommy Gun is the one with the Cuts Compensator, and was the one that could have the drum mag. attached. The M1A1 had the removed cuts, only took box mags, the simplified sights, and a couple of other differences, which were implimented to reduce production costs. And the Marine Raiders used the drums as well as British commandoes.

Hi Burgen, I nice poster.
Kraut Killer- (1923) The 1923 model was a very rare gun because did not sell well. Its target market was for the military, it had options like a sling, bipod, and bayonet. No conpensator due to the bayonet option. Also it wasn't the only model that took the drum mag. They tried useing a higher powered .45 round made by Remington and it slowed the ROF to around 400 rounds a minute. This model is very rare. (M1A1) The U.S. entered the war with a limmited amount of the 1928A1 (M1A1) which had the charging handle on top and could take both kinds of mags of the time, and of coarse compensator. (M1) Because of the mass production demand, in 42 they started producing the M1. That was the simplified version. They got rid of the actuator, breach oiler, barrel fins, compensator and a couple other things. It also had a full-auto/semi-auto selector. It had a side charge handle and simplified sights. This model could only take the box mags. Soldiers didn't get this one until the later part of 43. If you're going to post facts, no matter how dumb or brilliant they are, at least have them right. |
The M1A1 Thompson is the early version with the cutts compensator and the finned barrel.
It also had the charging handle on top of the reciever and was the only model that could use the drum mag. The later version of the Thompson was the M1. The action was simplafied and the charging handle was moved to the side. By the time of Normandy they had the 30 round clip As Well. From this point on they were both common and interchangable. After all a Thompson is a Thompson. The commandos and the commonwealth forces had the M1A1. |
