@thehumangunstore Wrong. The first Tommy gun was made in 1919. The model of 1919 Thompson submachine gun. Which was the production version, no sights or adjustable sights.
@thehumangunstore the first tommygun prototype was i think 1914, HA!
then it became more famous in the 1920s
and was used allll the way up to the 90s believe it or not, well they simply used those that were already made since it was a badass weapon. the mp18 was just a piece of shit, nobody cared about it xD
at 0:53 the narrator says "this was the first submachinegun", but thats not exactly true guns like the Mp-18 (we could argue that C-96 model 712 is a submachinegun but its just a fully automatic pistol) were around way before the thompson.
@QQ20034 The first Model of Thompson with Compensator is Colt Thompson M1921AC, The one without compensator Colt Thompson M1921A. in 1928 they develop Thompson M1928, It has less fire power. While the M1921's version has better fire power.
@QQ20034 Nope. The M1928 only comes with compensator, M1921 Comes with the version of non-compensator and compensator. I prefer to use the M1921 version. It has better fire power.
@AMASSEY1000 fuck no. the original gatling gun was made long before tge tommy was, i want to say in the late 1800's. there is really nothing simmilar with the 2
The 50 round drum was called the "L Mag" and the 100 round drum was called the "C Mag" after Roman numerals. But they were heavy, expensive, complex, they rattled, they were a bitch to load, and they could be emptied in 3 to 7 seconds of continues fire (something the military rightfully calls "a waste of ammo") and the guns had to be specificaly made to accept them (something that also brought up complexity and cost). It was for those reasons that Thompsons didn't have drum mags in World War 2.
the first submachinebun was the german bergman mp 18 it was used at the end of world war one it fired a 9mm round thats still used in many pistols and smg´s
ok u evr play gta.u no how sumtimes wen ur bored u just go out and spray evrything that moves and the cops shoot u and not peds.thats y.cus u wanna kill evrythin and cops wanna kil u.
my explanation would be: the bad guys spray and pray to create terror and confusion among the pesdestrians (send people screaming and running) to confuse the cops, and to get away easily.
The cops, however, don't want this and they don't want to kill civilians so they just go for "one shot one kill". If ONE accurate shot is enough to kill the bad guys, why need 50?
Depraved-heart murder is an American legal term for an action that demonstrates a "callous disregard for human life" and results in death. In most states, depraved heart killings constitute either second-degree murder or first-degree manslaughter.
Examples might be:
Piloting a motorboat at high speed through a crowded swimming area on a lake.
Shooting a gun randomly at a bus with passengers aboard.
Speeding in a car to the right of a school bus that is unloading children.
no, the first was the " Villar Perosa" a twin barreled SMG for 9mm parabellum.. had a shield used like a heavy MG... development resulted in the Villar Perosa OVP
In the video it states that this was the first sub machinegun - which is not true. I believe the narrator may be talking about the fact that the Thompson was America's first sub, but it definitely is not the first one ever designed and used. The first true sub gun was an Italian-made weapon. Then the Bergmann came out of Germany after that, and then the Thompson was built and issued. Oh well.
These weapons are classed as "machine pistols". Thompson invented the term submachinegun, so it could arguably be called the first in that regard. We're splitting hairs here though...also while those other guns we're issued before the Thompson, its development goes back to at least 1916 so it may indeed preceed them...
The Colt Thompson M1921 and Thompson M1928a1 and M1928 did all accept a 100 round and 50 round drum magazine and the 30 and 20 round stick magazine. The M1a1 and M1 only the 20 and 30 round. That's why the Thompson is to me the best gun ever made. It's just too good to get used by unexperienced people.
i haven't but ive fired guns of that caliber "45-ACP" and yeah they definitely fall out of the air quick cause their pistol cartridges are short with extremely heavy bullets you can see the marks going across the dirt from the bullets after about 100-150 yards =).
yeah. the first submachine gun is Schmeisser MPi 18 but the famous submachine gun is tommy gun. they changed and made into thompson gun. they then never use the drum magazine cos it can prone to more jamming so they use the 30 round box magazine
A box magazine is actually a Standard magazine, as it is shaped as a box, but the big magazines are Drum magazines, since there are no m249 mags for example: m4a1.
it's basically an updated version of the ppsh, all steel construction with a folding stock like the mp40 so it's lighter and a more reliable firing mechanism so it doesn't accidentally go off if you drop, a problem that the ppsh had
Actually they were, especially when the thompson first saw action in WWII as a trench fighting weapon. Soldiers just ended up preferring box mags over drum mags because of ease of carrying and more reliable feed.
I might be wrong but i think the Marines had the drum mag. for shooting through the Jungle to flush out Japs or kill them. The Army didnt used it though.
some of that isnt accurate. Thomson actually wanted to have a automatic weapon that only one soldier could operate and light weight.. so.. they r teh sux
