My father was a sargent in WWII, He said that most of the troops thought that the Thompson was a joke. Sure, it was an automatic but, it didn't have any range(most fire fights weren't at that close of range) and it's accuracy was minimall. He, and most of the troop in his platoon used rifles(dependable, had range, and were accurate) they had a couple of snipers and were lucky enough to have 1 guy with a BAR. I know this is a little bit of topic, but what the hey.
