Thompson Submachine (Tommy) Gun @ Las Vegas Gun Store

While in Las Vegas, Nevada, my friend, Eric took an opportunity to shoot a 70+ year old Thompson Submachine Gun. Eric paid $80 to shoot 3 magazines with 25 bullets each. Eric thouroughly enjoyed his once in a lifetime experience. I just wanted to watch and video tape his experience. According to the gun shop, the Tommy Gun is valued at $20k. And we also got a history lesson about the gun from the instructor too. It was a VERY COOL experience.

It's not a Tommy, it's a "WWII". The Tommy version is the Mafia Drum mag with grip Thompson. And good job.

@linbiao What!? Anyway, the answer is that this Tommy Gun fires from a bolt-open position. Pulling the trigger slams the bolt shut and fires the gun. When all the ammo is expended it stays closed.

I love how he says, "Machine Gun Market", it is not machine gun it is a "submachine gun.

The bolt goes back when the magazine is empty. The bolt only goes forward when the drum is empty.

Weird, whys the bolt popping to the back position when its empty? Its meant to stay forward when theres no more rounds left.
