Auto Ordnance WE-Tech M1A1 Thompson Gas Blowback Airsoft Replica by Cybergun

Thompson M1A1 is one of those coveted and in some respect prestigious infantry small arms of World War II. For the GIs the Thompson M1A1 marked special status as not everyone was issued with one. In WWII militaries typically only NCOs carried submachine guns and Thompson’s weapon had already gathered fame during the 1920s unrest in United States.

The M1A1 was military version of Thompson’s original privately funded M1928 gun. In M1A1 the firing pin and hammer were removed and replaced with machining replacement firing pin to the face of bolt. The M1A1 production commenced at the end of 1942 and more than 1.3 million were made and was used up through the Vietnam War.

The Tommy Gun M1A1 submachine gun is an American submachine gun, invented by John T. Thompson in 1918, that became infamous during the Prohibition era. It was a common sight in the media of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals. The Thompson submachine gun was also known informally as the “Tommy Gun”, “Annihilator”, “Chicago Typewriter”, “Chicago Piano”, “Chicago Style”, “Chicago Organ Grinder”, “Trench Broom”, “Trench Sweeper”, “The Chopper”, and simply “The Thompson”. The Thompson was favored by soldiers, criminals, police, and civilians alike for its large .45 ACP cartridge, accuracy, and high volume of automatic fire. It has since gained popularity among civilian collectors for its historical significance. It has had, and continues to have, considerable significance in popular culture, especially in works about the U.S.’s Prohibition era and World War II, and hence is among the best-known firearms in recent history.
