Product Description
The 1928 version of the venerable Thompson was fitted with a Cutts compensator to counter barrel climb on full auto, and a finned barrel to aid cooling - both items lost during wartime production. In addition it was fitted with a Blish lock to retard the rate of fire and to delay breech opening (rapidly disposed of as it was singularly ineffective!) and a ladder rear sight graduated out to something silly like 1000 yards! The CYMA version is slightly inaccurate (we'll say it before you do!) in that the cocking handle is in the wrong position and the sight is basically the M1A1 version. Used by the early British commando units, the drum mag was quickly found to be too heavy & too noisy, being replaced with 20 or 30 round box mags. In US Service, it was taken up by the USMC well before WWII, but was supplanted by the M1A1 version very quickly. The 1928 was found worldwide for many years after WWII however, used amongst others by Israeli terrorists in their efforts to drive the British out of Post-War Palestine, a testament to the gun's longevity & reliability. The example tested was shooting at 375 fps with 0.2g BBs, so check you site limits! We do not guarantee that all of them will shoot at this velocity as spring consistency is almost non-existent in China. Yours may shoot bricks out of the side of your house or it may tickle the lovespuds of your resident tree squirrel, who knows?
