Yes, the Brit one. Sure it’s technically not a “real” Thompson, but it’s br2, looks like one and feels like one (at least) 
Close enough.
The marine squad is really nice however! Powerful at br2.
I found this:
" The Mauser MKb 39 was Mauser’s contribution to the same family of weapons as the MKb 35. With the introduction of the Vollmer MKb 35, other companies (Mauser and Walther) also wanted to be part of this project. Mauser started designing their weapon quite late and did not manage to produce a working weapon for the initial round of testing. Information remains scant on the design specifics of this weapon. The weapon was probably designed for 7.75x40.5mm GECO ammunition, which is suggested by the shape of the magazine, but there were also mentions of 7x39.1mm DWM ammunition. It is known that in 1942 the Mauser company entered this model into another competition under the unofficial name MKb 42 (M). Both versions were rejected for being too expensive for mass production. It is known that the only existing prototype is in some French museum after the plundering of the Mauser factory by France after World War II."
Robert not sure about MKB 39 but MKB 42 (m) with DWM was not the variant that was tested with MKB 42(h)
From the Sturmgewehr! From Firepower to Strikepower book
As mentioned here Mauser prewar Machine carbine was tested with polte ammo(8mm kurz) against the MKB.42 (H) this means that ingame model name is wrong either way they can easily change it but they dont seem to want to listen
Ingame model fires DWM ammo which as we know would be before the trials of this rifle so just adding an early to name cant be that hard ? Right ?

Can someone please help me? Before the update, I had 100+FPS. After update, I have below 30FPS. Is there any problem with my computer or is it game´s problem? (I use RTX 3050)
Why not?
Looks like the only actually interesting weapon among all because you can give it to German assault engineers on BR4, since all other STG family guns are on BR5.
The weapons look really cool but for a Christmas event it seems a bit poor there is not even a profile picture or a decal
i hope at least the next event has something for japan and the commonwealth since we had Burma even a squad with recycled uniforms would be better than nothing

Or they could just change the description to say that it’s using the GECO ammo

But it doesent it uses the DWM ammo in the editor for ammo its written 7.39 DWM so yeah MKB 35 program had a walther prototype which used 7.75 mm ammo maybe the source of yours cunfused the two together anyway imma go research more maybe find somthing new BTW

The model in game is based on this one:
Which is what they mean by “The weapon was probably designed for 7.75x40.5mm GECO ammunition, which is suggested by the shape of the magazine”
meanwhile this image says that it’s the 7x39.1…

“In addition to the semi-automatic mode, the rifle also features an experimental 3-round burst firing mode…”
“A rough beast slouches its way towards Bethlehem to be born”
In 5 years’ time it will be simply possess a new host…
Well both look same to me like I said i feel that it is DWM ammo and again the picture that is white and black is from Sturmgewehr book which mentions the prewar model is chambered for DWM and trial variant during 1942 for polte ammo also in the same book there it is written that MKB.42(M) was tested with DWM ammo and we even have stats for it
Thats why i think it is DWM ammo that mauser went and walther went for 7.75 GECO ammo
Well snyways like I said imma go do more research after a power nap
Robet the in game model fires 7.39 ammo both guns on your post are the same picture so inspiration could have come from anywhere man I dont want you to get mad at me dude I dont even have anything against you I just want a name change and there is evidence that MKB.42 (M) in DWM ammo was a prewar prototype so they should just add early to the name as for MKB.42 (M) in 7.75 ammo I highly doubt it but who knows Walther used the ammo so mauser might have copied walther but again in game model fires 7.39 which makes it DWM ammo
Great, US players will be annoyed they didn’t receive it and Japanese players will be annoyed about another non-Japanese gun being given to them.
Yes the Japanese did use the Thompson in just about every theater, but really? After we finally got back on track with the Te-4?
Also that Navy claim is a bit odd, least combat usage wise, I don’t doubt they aquired some considering the Army also had them for trials against their own designs but you could’ve at least said these were captured Chinese guns which is the far more likely case.
Or captured Dutch
Or captured British
Or captured American
… you get the point

Sir this is a Event, not TT, it literally says so right at the top of the page thank you
I referred to the relevant content of the two books “Vladimir Fodov: В поисках оружия. Мемуары создателя первого автомата” and “АК-47. История создания и принятия на вооружение Советской армии”
Magazine size - no problem
Auto fire - this is an improvement made during WW1
chumak’s article - I translated and read it and did not find any mention of burst fire
Conclusion: Fedorov 1913 can fire fully automatic, but there is no evidence that it can burst fire
In fact, the community manager of the Russian forum also admitted that they lack evidence
I guess we’re about to get a new fully auto rifle.

Curses. Sorry my mistake. Still annoyed its another foreign gun when everyone else gets their own stuff.
Edited the message since my point still stands.
If there truly is no evidence for that - then the G43k nerf was in no way justified.
Should this be the case, I would consider this pure toxic bias from the devs. This is unforgivable.
Bring back 3 round burst G43k

Japan don’t have much own stuff in the first place. So they should prioritize putting Japan stuff on tech tree instead of locking them behind event.
