Hi,

Just a general question about the Thompson. I thought that only officers or NCOs used it? Were regular troops allowed to use it as well? Or where they stuck with the M1?

Just want to know, because I am under the impression that the Thompson was a rank/status type of weapon?

And another thing, I keep seeing some Brits with it. I suppose they used it too?
