Hey easy there killer! Actually, have you ever fired are real thompson???? I have!!! I'm part of a re-enacting group and we have and fire everything from M1's to .30cal Machine Guns. I think I know what it should sound like and I don't have to base all my WWII knowledge on popular Hollywood flicks. A real thompson does not sound like it does on the big screen just as any gun doesn't. Movie producers add sound effects to increase the drama and effect of firing a weapon. Don't start spouting off like an expert when your only source is Saving Private Ryan!!! Join a re-enacting group and shoot the real thing!! You'll notice a difference!!

BINGO!

Yes, Hollywood "sweetens" sound effects all the time for dramatic effect - that's the term as well.

So don't count on movies as the be all end all source for how a weapon actually sounds. Just watch a couple of recent WWII films and notice how none of the weapons sound alike...why do you think that is? Listen to the garand in SPR and listen to the garand in Thin Red Line....totally different sounds. Same with the Thompson.

MOHAA does not use sounds from SPR

Are you sure it doesn't just sound like a weak-ass thompson because you have crappy speakers? It's tough camparing the sound from a TV with the sound from a computer unless you have good speakers. The weapons sound fine to me.
