This is because the early Thompsons could accept the drum magazines, while the military M1 and M1A1s could not. The reloading procedure for the drums is different than loading in the stick mags. That being said, both the 50 round drum magazines and the 20/30 round stick magazines saw service in WWII. Even though the M1/M1A1 replaced the M1928A1 officially, both models saw usage until the end of the war. There were still guys that had drums in their Thompsons in 1945.

Don't forget that the Thompson was also used by the U.S. in Korea and in the early days of Vietnam until it was replaced by other rifles such as the m3 grease gun, M14/m1a and the m16. The Thompson was also seen in several other countries after WW2 such as China, Indonesia, Greece, Yugoslavia and Algeria. The last known use of the Thompson in the U.S. was in the early 1970’s by the FBI when they were declared obsolete and ordered to be destroyed

@sylokthedefiled3047

Well, the M14 was moreover a replacement of the M1 Garand, and the M1 Carbine respectively. By those times the M3 Grease Gun had already pretty well replaced the Thompson in most areas, as it was cheaper, lighter, and easier to use. If you wish to look for a more fitting replacement of the Thompson/M3 Grease Gun, then I believe the ArmaLite AR-15/Colt M16 would be a more fitting replacement, as it was lighter and had much more fair recoil control compared to the M14, but more range and stopping power(in some respects) compared to the Thommy/M3. Not completely wrong on your end, but definitely a little misguided, I would say.

The Thompson has also found itself the preferred firearm of superheroes from time to time as both Logan (before becoming Wolverine) and Captain America (and that one intelligence agent from the SHIELD precursor) have used it in movies. Also it and its designation were the basis for the iconic pulse rifle in the Aliens movie: The M41A (and later in Alien: Colonial Marines M41A2). Basically they took the Thompson and gave it a sturdier frame and a 12 gauge shotgun barrel for the grenade launcher and bingo got yourself one of sci-fi's best firearms.

i once fired a thompson in the "chicago typewritter" configuration, i wasn't expecting much from such an antiquity, well was i in for a surprise when i realised this thing barely had any recoil. from such an old design, made to be mass produced the cheapest way possible, it's genuinely impressive to be able to shot 10 round bursts in a target 30m away when it's not only your first time firing the gun, but a full auto SMG. honestly against soft unarmored target, and as far as big bore SMG, i think it's still among the best one after a Kris Vector.

Thompsons weren't cheap or easy to produce, that's why we sought a replacement throughout ww2. It weighed alot, which helped with the recoil.

@@jozinek876 If you want to know more there's no channel better than forgotten weapons on KZread. In terms of the best rifle that's a hard one because there's so many types rifle. Overall the best one could very easily be considered the stg44. It could do everything a rifle could plus it had a 30 round mag and was automatic. That combined with the intermediate cartridge made it both accurate at long range and controllable in close quarters. Had that gun been rolled out in larger numbers or utilized effectively it would have terrorized the battlefield. The stg birthed the ak 47 and created the assault rifle and intermediate arms cartridges so it's hard to not consider that one in the running. If we had to say overall I'd have to say the stg. However, There's just too many categories of rifles at this point in time. If I were to break it down into 3 categories, assault rifle, semi auto rifle, and bolt action it would be easier. Best bolt action hands down the K98 of which the best version was the m41 out of Sweden. It was just the best version of the best rifle. In semi auto rifles it is highly debated but many people consider the French semi auto rifles like the Mas 40 to be the best. The g43 was kind of garbage, finiky, and prone to breaking a good gun for the range not for a war. the SVT 40 is actually a great gun but had some weird accuracy issues at long ranges. the m1 Garand is well known but only because it was the only semi auto of the war that was standard issue for all troops. It's shortcomings are made up for by having a dozen of them where the other rifles only had one. The En Bloc was genius though which severely cut down reload times where as the other semi autos usually fed from stripper clips and even the ones that had detachable mags were only issued with 1 or 2 because they were expensive. Most of the other semi autos were either obscure oddities that never really got battle tested or prototypes or were cobbled together. In autos the stg kinda wins by default. Nothing was really competing with it.

@OriginalBongoliath

@@pfitz9346 The M1 was the best general issue rifle of WW2. Semi-auto beats bolt-action hands down as a general issue combat rifle. It made everything else obsolete overnight. The SVT-40 came close and was better on paper but in practice was a disappointment. Don't get me started with German semi-auto rifle attempts that were abysmal failures. The StG-44 came too late to have any meaningful impact, wasn't general issue, and was going to be replaced by the StG-45 anyway that never saw service. The MAS-40 never saw combat so completely irrelevant and stupid to call itself the best when it was never proven. Practice always beats theoretics.

And that is the problem with all gun laws trying to cut criminals from getting weapons. They do that in the way that hits no criminal and all civilians. In Poland (and by extend European Union) we have very restrictive gun law (there is no way for you to have automatic fire gun legaly and any short smallarm with calliber of over 12mm- something like S&W 500 is not legal for ordinary people). What did it achive? Almost no civilian has gun (it is like 1 gun per 100 people, where in Germany it is 30 per 100 people and in Swizerland it's 70 per 100), but there are still criminals with guns. How? Black Marcet. It is mind blowingly easy to get illegal gun in Poland (before 2010 there was marcetplace in Warsaw where you could buy all sort of illegal or stolen things- I even once saw automatic AK for 200 PLN- About 60$). Yet there is one type of weapon you can buy without any regulations- Black Powder Guns. You can buy one like bag of sugar and some stores even offer shipping package with one to your home. This law is in existance since early 2000 and we have 2017, and still there was not a single report of someone robbing shop with blackpowder gun or something like that.

There's really only one addendum I'd make to this video, and that's to how the NFA of 1934 is portrayed. It didn't just make automatic firearms more expensive for criminals, it made them prohibitively expensive for the everyday American. Criminals, by definition, don't care about the law. They'll get their weapons regardless.
