Would you defend your home with one?

>>34776320
God yes.

>>34776320
I prefer the 1927 version

>>34776320

No.

Have you actually held one?

They're heavy as shit, awkwardly unwieldy, and generally worse in every way than a host of other options.

They look kind of neat and have a lot of nostalgia value, and would even be a fun range toy, but that's it.

>>34776320
Yes. Yes I would

Firearms have not advanced since the thompson and the BAR.

>>34776320
In a heartbeat.

Literally everything has improved. No, we haven't changed from an automatic weapon to something else, but welcome to mature technologies. Just because the singular changes aren't drastic doesn't mean the end product itself isn't vastly superior

>>34776320
They're cool af

>>34776320
If it was a registered one, I'd be hesitant to after the Gary Fadden and Harry Beckwith incidents.

>>34776320
There's infinitely better options for considerably cheaper
Also
>fuddy-five
With all that being said hell yes I'd use a Thompson for HD

How are 45 AARP ballistics out of a 16 inch barrel? Can a Thompson shoot 45 super?

>>34777502
The current ones can be converted to .45 Super

>>34776320
no. because i dont want it getting thrown into evidence. My shittiest rifle on hand i can afford to lose will suffice.

The stick mags are so fucking pretty.

>>34776320
Hell yes I would.

>>34777750
Audibly keked

>>34776423
this
this so much

No, it's overkill.

>>34778291
Are you retarded?
A .300BLK is overkill when you have loved ones in the house
A .45 ACP is most certainly fucking not

Yes.

>>34777234
The BAR is superior in every way.

>>34776320
If full auto and loaded with HSTs, fuck yes.

>>34776320
I would prefer an M3A1.
