well now that you mention the Thompson,it also had a 50 rd drum magazine,as featured in many Gangster movies,however these were rarely used,if all by the US forces because of their complex loading and size.And what ever happened to the carbine?? you know the one that was magazine fed.This gun was used by the US military all the way thru korea and into Vietnam,when it was replaced by the M16.That would have been a welcome addition,as this gun was a real treat to shoot,low recoil,light weight,and FAST Reloading.DoD has this weapon,I have seen Screenshots with it.....NO I do not play DoD MOH is enough for me.....

Bullshit. Absolutely crap. The M14 and also the M21 which was the scoped, H-Bar version used by snipers was the replacement of the M1 Carbine. THEN the US Military switched over to the M16A1 or otherwise known as the Armalite.
By the way, DoD IS a great game, maybe you should play it. And if the M1 Carbine isnt in this game, then someone will make one or it will be added in future updates...I hope.
One other point, the Drum magazine for the Thompson was used a great deal in the Pacific Theatre.
