Did any see this movie, did you like it and why? Also, were their black painted Thompson Sub-Machine guns (Tommy Guns), historiclly correct?
Any early production Thompson would have been one of the following:Mycroft said:About the black Thompsons, I just found out they made a "Commando" version that is black in 1927. [/URL]
The Thompson isn't mine, it belongs to a friend. We go way back, were Deputy Sheriffs together 24 years ago, and he lets me "borrow" it whenever I "need" a Thompson for some reason or another. He got it probably 15 years ago. It originally was manufactured as a 1921AC in 1922, was modified to '28 Navy specs by Colt's (hence the 192"B") and was sold commercially. Never was a military weapon, but belonged to a Texas Ranger as his personal weapon.Kilgour Trout said:Can you share any story that might of come with getting it or its history.
The Big question from a "Gun Deprived" Canuck is...How does it feel to fire the thing? I just can't imagine?
