Using walmart ammo.. not a right way to treat that gun.

this gun is amazing!! a true American classic you are a lucky lucky man!! Take good care of her

[imarkglass]

Seriously? Did you just rotate the Thompson towards the observers offline from your arm? Really? What if the rounds ran away or you jerked your finger, which was still in the guard. Wow. Oh, my GOD, I would consider you a threat at the range and treat you accordingly.

@imarkglass I knew I saw something weird or unsafe about the video.

you're using wallmart ammo in a gun that's 60 years old?

[airsoftrules987]

@rtday67 why would that hurt it. Its a 45 caliber that the pressure has not changed at all if barely any since ww2 so it will not hurt it at all. You supposed to use p+ loads so you dont have 2 bullets hit each other in the barrel because p+ is faster and more pressure so walmart ammo wont hurt it you gun illiterate twit

@airsoftrules987 Excuse me? I'm a lieutenant in the United States Marine corps. I am far from being a gun-illiterate twit. I can guarantee I have more experience with fully automatic weapons than you do. You should also read your replies before posting them if you want to make a coherent argument, and change your name from "airsoftrules" if you want to be taken seriously as a firearm expert. +p rounds are indeed faster than average rounds but, your theory that 2 rounds will hit each other in

[rtday67]

@airsoftrules987 the barrel of a Thompson is absurd. The rate of fire would have to be impossibly high for that to even be a possibility. You also assumed that all wallmart ammo is +p, which I'm betting isn't the case. Even if it was, +p ammo is harder on a firearm than regular ammo, because it was designed to be as powerful as possible without causing the gun to explode because of the increased pressure (my DI liked to call this "spontaneous disassembly").

[rtday67]

@airsoftrules987 Even so, I've seen a Glock 21 fly apart in a guy's hands because the pressure from the rounds he was using was too much for the gun to handle. A gun that is practically an antique probably isn't the best candidate to use higher powered rounds in.

@rtday67 thompsons built in america not austria
