The new submachine gun of the Allied forces: Thompson submachine gun (with folding stock)
This is a Thompson submachine gun with a folding stock.
It seems to be designed for the crew members and paratrooper troops, as the foldable gunstock requires less space.
Perhaps, we could use it to form another parachute unit?
Do you hope to see this kind of weapon being used on our battlefield?
Are we sure it’s from WW2?
The photograph shows a rare experimental variant of the American Thompson submachine gun (Thompson M1928A1).
This experimental model was created in the United States in the early 1940s (approximately 1941–1942).
The modification was developed in the United States—most likely by engineers at the Auto-Ordnance Corporation (creators of the original Thompson) or at a government military proving ground (such as the Springfield Armory), where improvements to army weaponry were regularly tested.
The primary goal of the development was to enhance the mobility of airborne units and armored vehicle crews. In the early 1940s, active work was underway to adapt bulky small arms to the needs of The weapon remained experimental, as in 1942 the U.S. Army adopted the M3 submachine gun (known as the “Grease Gun”)—which was far cheaper, lighter, and came with a retractable metal stock from the start—making the complex modification of older Thompsons impractical.new military branches.The exact number of units of this variant produced is not recorded in archival documents, but according to firearms experts, no more than one to five were made.
I think it would be better to have an event for weapons, so you can swap weapons in the airborne squad.
