The difference is that submachine guns fire smaller caliber rounds such as 9mm whereas a machine gun generally fires larger caliber such as 7.62mm. Hope this helps.
some sbr's like krinkov's are considered submachineguns even in 5.45 or 7.62x39mm. the term machinegun is used for belt fed squad weapons like rpk, m249, etc.
Machine guns are much bigger. It would be very difficult to impossible to shoulder a machine gun and fire it under full auto. They are typically fired in the prone position from a bi-pod.
Sub's are made to be carried by one person, and are made to be fired from the standing position (as seen here).
@wigtrimer ok, i never said the 45 caliber is small, i said its smaller than a machine guns caliber.... and 5 calibers is kinda a lot when ur talking about bullet sizes.... and compared to a fifty cal barret, or machine gun, it is very small.... go do some more research there, buddy
gmanflyairforce3, I do think so. But the Navy model usualy had a horizontal grip. And the rate of fire wasn't THAT lower. The "real" Tommygun, the Colt Thompson M1921A, fires about 800-900 rounds per minute. This one, the M1928, fires about 780 rpm.
Fuck you, my statement is backed up with 100% facts, look outside. I am not a racist at all, I have black friends but I am a realist and they will even tell you the situation is out of hand.
i think this is a pretty sweet gun. I think i could control it better. Try twisting your body against the recoil as it forces itself right, just twist left.
You people should stop fighting because it sounds like you all really dont own a fully automatic weapon. If you did you would admire this.

rather be black than a retard. your a fucking piece of shit redneck dumbass who knows nothing about guns. "thompson is a white trash gun" Hey how about you actually go and fire a real gun! not some squirel hunting pussy air rifle.
Are you stupid that is 45.acp one round from that in the midsection would knock your skinny as down and you wouldn't get back, since you know nothing about guns, take yourself outside and let one of your gangasta thug friends use you for target practice it would be the first they've done, oh wait they do it all the time in fact you ingrate motherfucker cause over 65% of violent crimes in the United States and are 1/8 of the population that is pathetic considering all the gov. handouts you get.
Damnit, this is my favourite gun and I WANT ONE SO DAMN BAD (even if I am only 14)...Thompson...1928 model...full auto....45ACp round...Drooooooool...
well i wouldn't say i'd drool over it, i want one myself. i'm 19 and all i have is a .22 ruger which i bought myself. i don't think my mom would aprove of me buying a thompson, they probably are beyond my budget anyway
All I can say is that I want one! I don't care if it is a sub machine gun, what round it is, if it is a Mexican firing it or the Pope firing it just get me one!
gun is awesome. lots of stopping power in that .45. especially when you compare it to h&ks modern mp5 which fires 9mm rounds, which even for a 9mm gets the job done
"that mexican hold it like mafia should be-" ? Actually the Mafias of the 40's consisted of people that could actually aim well, so most of them did hold it like those "white guys."
That is why it's a submachine gun. Meant to fire pistol rounds. Anyway, the .45 round is basically a magnum round, so it had great stopping power for its' size. But it was inaccurate do to recoil. A rifle would be like the M1 Garand, Carbine, K-98, Mosin Nagant, etc.
what were the results on the target? ;) definately checking out the site

a submachine gun is an area defense weapon
designed for close work (this was the original "assault rifle"). A machine gun is a heavy weapon
used to increase the level of firepower of the
infantry and they are usually crew served (2 or
more troops).
Modern weaponry has blurred the distinctions
since the weapons are no longer used to kill cavalry horses.

submachine guns are smaller and can be easily hidden from view.... they also shoot smaller round calibers..
machine guns, on the other hand, are larger and sometimes have to be carried by two or more people
KsClan1234 2 years ago
so you call the 45 a "small caliber" its only five calibers away from fifty and fifteen bigger than the 308
