Grease gun worked alongside it until nearly Vietnam, when we phased out the Thompson. It certainly wasn't a direct replacement.

Also keep in mind the Thompson was the oldest SMG to fight in WW2 by a decade, in an era where firearms development progressed so fast 6 months was enough to see most designs obsolete.
>>
>>30225359
>Auto 5
>ever cheap
Nigger, for the last 30 years you could buy decent quality new-production semi's for less than an A5 in bad shape, and a good condition one was Benelli-tier pricing.
>>
>>30225043
>itt: people who dont understand what the word "overrated" means
it has to be a popular and well known firearm to be overrated. otherwise youre just fags pointing out the obvious.
>>
>>30225430
But the mauser 98 action is so proliferated and very robust. Honestly a good action and a good service rifle for the germans WW1.

also the 1911 was very quality for a long time, only really being outclassed once double-stack 9mms entered the pistol world
>>
>>30225456
>only being outclassed once double-stack 9mms entered the pistol world
I'd say a bit later than that, the BHP didn't really shine til they figured out mag issues (both capacity and reliability) and that didn't happen til the late 50's.
>>
>>30225449
Auto-5's demand a slight premium over, say, the model 11, but really I could have either for under $300 in workable condition. If I really wanted a nice one I'd maybe have to go to $600, but they're still the nugget of shotguns.
>>
>>30225456
Overrated doesn't mean bad, just disproportionately loved. There are retards for both the 1911 and the 98 that think their respective fetish guns are god's dick in firearm form. Thus, they are overrated.
>>
>>30225492
A $300 A5 is going to look like it went through a wood chipper then had a cow shit on it. A $600 A5 might actually function but'll have no finish left and the stock'll be cracked.
>unless you're one of those lucky fucks that finds a nice one in an estate sale run by morons
>nugget of shotguns
That'd be the Maverick 88 by a large margin, unless you mean out-of-production guns. In which case it'd be the JC Higgins/H&R/Savage bolt-action 20ga's.

>>30225496
Then you have the retards at the other end of the spectrum that think if it isn't the best of the best fighting gun currently produced it's utter shit.

As an example, the Mauser 98 action lives on in pretty much every safari-caliber rifle still produced, and the 1911 is still the reigning king of competition shooting with over 70% total representation in USPSA, IPSC, IDPA non-production, and NRA bullseye.
>mainly due to the awesome trigger that's unique to the design
>also inb4 someone claims a double-stack 9x19/.38 Super 1911 isn't a "real" 1911
>>
>>30225108
Get fucked. Its not better nor worse than other contemporary submachine guns. And you forgot the ONLY real point thats shit about the Thompson: the awfully long stock.

Cut the stock down 5 or 6 inches to the same lenght of an MP40 or PPSh or PPS and youre ready to rock.
>>
>>30225245
>M-3 (aka MP-40)
Pretty much the only things they have in common are that they're open-bolt tube style SMG's.

Just like 90% of all other SMG's ever made both before and after the MP-40.
>>
>>30225136
Perhaps he was talking about wartime Thompsons

But he also forgot

No known troubles with the 20 and 30 round magazines unlinke other smgs of that era

Actually more accurate because the heavy construction is better suited for the open bolt construction
>>
>>30225538
There's a gun store near me that has a whole rack of A5's and Model 11's.

The cheapest is a Model 11 for about $250 that has no finish left on it, but pretty good wood that's clearly been replaced recently.

The most expensive is $600 for an A5 with almost spotless bluing and really good wood except for the fact that some retard apparently rubbed the foregrip against some rocks at some point. It's even got some nice engravings on the side.

I'm not saying it wasn't, but considering it's construction and furniture its surprisingly lightweight, especially when put against the other heavier smgs of the war.

Crazy how easy it would have been to improve the design though, just with a caliber swap and an inline stock, maybe a shorter barrel since it's blowback anyway buuut it wasn't made for the war after all. Too bad the belt fed prototype never worked out.
>>
>>30225272

It would take more effort for me to remember how many guns i own that it's worth to tell you.

Stay mad, retarded faggot.

'the open bolt ruins the gun' kek holy fucking shit.
>supposed to be a pistol caliber SMG

That's the fucking definition. The thompson is the quintessential, definitive SMG. What the fuck kind of rambling shit are you even saying? It isn't a SMG, or in a pistol caliber? The weight of contemporary SMG's is very close, and the difference is likely attributable to the fact it used .45 stopping power instead of 9MM ammo, so of course it's going to weight a little more.

Okay by the time it was used in WW2 the design was over 20 years old, which was why it was getting phased out with the production of the grease gun.

After handling one of those in person...
They're just awful, but at least they're a lot easier to use with the stick mags vs the drums.
It feels like one solid box of heavy steel and is as ergonomic as a large, jagged stone.
Thank god firearm design evolved past that point.

Then you don't understand the M1 design. The clip/en bloc system guides press against the stock, and are totally open. The wood in that area is thin as it can be already and prone to cracking. Removing the wood and replacing it with steel would not make it lighter.

$400-600 for a semi shotgun that slows recoil and cycles fine after 80+ years of duck hunting abuse is pretty outstanding. Source: Muh 1924 US browning. That "humpback" non-raised rib makes aiming so fucking natural, it's beautiful, and fun.

Is that because they used an absolute? Or because you feel there's a more acceptable firearm?

>>30242746
That InRange mud test was eye-opening.
>>
>>30242765
A little bit of both. The AK-47 was far from being perfect and if it was then the AKM wouldn't of existed. The mystique surrounding this rifle has been greatly over-exaggerated by media. I do agree that the AK is more reliable than the AR platform and even though it's not as accurate as the AR, the difference in accuracy is negligible at actual combat distances. I prefer the AR because of aesthetics and ergonomics. The AK-47 is fine, but just overrated.

Poured mud directly over the rifle, Rifle should have been drooped in multiple conditions on to the mud loaded safety on-off, mag in no round chambered safety on-off, no mag safety on-off must have mag locked in after being drooped,

crawling with the rifle threw the mud in similar conditions.

Basically things that can actually happen not sorry I poured mud in your rifle.

would be fair point, if not for the fact that they did this for AR-15 and every other rifle they've tested.

AR-15 they tested pasted that test, because it had tighter internals. Which is good when preventing mud getting inside, but at the same time would be problematic in colder climate of Mother Russia.

And these. Both these guns are the bane of interesting ones. Every time a new rifle comes out all I hear is "does it have EXACTLY the same controls, EXACTLY the same ergos, and EXACTLY the same modability as the AR15?" the glock is better for that because it doesn't utterly dominate the market with generically handsome black polymer, but glocks are still not the best best.
