Thompson M1A1 is one of those coveted and in some respect prestigious infantry small arms of World War II. For the GIs the Thompson M1A1 marked special status as not everyone was issued with one. In WWII militaries typically only NCOs carried submachine guns and Thompson's weapon had already gathered fame during the 1920s unrest in United States.
The M1A1 was military version of Thompson's original privately funded M1928 gun. In M1A1 the firing pin and hammer were removed and replaced with machining replacement firing pin to the face of bolt. The M1A1 production commenced at the end of 1942 and more than 1.3 million were made.
This Firepower replica version is extremely well made with full metal receiver and outer barrel. The wooden parts are carefully created from plastics and will fool anyone from a distance to believe its real wood.
The performance of the gun is very good with 750-850rds per minute rate of fire and effective range up to 50 meters.
