Default How does the Thompson compare with modern day weapons? - 09-05-2002, 04:00 PM

I've always wondered how the Thompson SMG compares with current day weapons like the M-16, AK-74, etc... Now I know those two weapons are assault rifles, but how does the Tommy compare with something like a HK MP-5?

Tommy uses .45 bullets, plus its heavy its more of an SMG. But its still a great gun, but the MP5 is more comparable to it, and the MP5 is better oOo:

I own both version of the guns mentioned. ( semi auto )

The Thompson packs a punch but is much heavier and is not as accurate as the MP5. I do not know how someone carried the Thompson with extra clips. For a prolonged time. The nice thing is the cal. ( .45 ACP ) is a very good stopping round and will not travel beyond a room or through a person.
Were a smaller caliber like the 9MM parabelum(spelling?) can exit a victim when not using hollow points.

The MP5 is probably the worlds best anti terrorist / SWAT weapon in use today. This gun is so reliable and accurate. I can hit a reactive metal target at 75 yards over and over again without any recoil what so ever. Threw iron sites. ( can't see the laser pointer at that range during the day )

But as for fun factor, you can't beat the Tommy gun. My 10 year old daughter loves shooting it at the gun range. ( getting her ready for dating )

well... the thompson would be perfect except...

its got wood componants, no longer mass produced, heavy bullets, not nato standard, too heavy, not compadible with a wooden stock or silencer, lacked in accuracy, hefty recoil, (compared to modern day smgs) not reliable enough... fire1:

other than those reaspons it'd be perfect biggrin:

I think the MP-5 might be getting displaced by the P-90 sometime soon (already happened on Stargate SG-1 biggrin: )

My daughter is very tall for 10 years old.

Here she is at the range.

As for the being heavy. AutoArdence who still produces Thompson's Has a aluminum version
http://www.auto-ordnance.com/ao_m1c_f.html
They got the weight down to 8lbs ( still very heavy )
You can purchase a semi auto for ~700-800 US

Personally I think the sound in MOH is very close. In SPR your never "behind the gun" like when your playing MOH.

With that said, I also think SPR does a very very good job at capturing what a real one sounds

Here are some links to real weapons firing. Give them a sec to load.
BAR - http://www.bigjimsmgs.com/VIDEOS99/BAR2.AVI
Thompson (This is an early savage model, please note the recoil or lake of) - http://www.bigjimsmgs.com/VIDEOS99/28savage.avi
For all you RTKW -flame thrower http://www.bigjimsmgs.com/VIDEOS99/flame2.avi


The other problem is when ever I go to the range, I have to shoot from inside that building you see. Thus we must always were Ear protection, along with eye protection. I have fire full auto Thompson's at the gun store in Las Vegas and it's the same deal, firing inside with ear protection.
