Got Uzi Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I have wanted to make a modern version of that movie using all the same guns and see how one person could stack up using them. I need someone to bring an MP40 for me to do this with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Iannamico Posted August 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I wasn't planning on THIS weekend, I'm already bringing TOO many guns (as usual).BUT in the interest of research I'll bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron_brock Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Frank, I love shooting your guns :-). I doubt a long range test will be possible just due to the structure of the event, but its always fun to see non-Thompson guns after the morning shoot!!

Frank Iannamico Posted August 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 It would be great to see how the three guns would fair against each other in the steel plate competition.I would suspect the MP40 would win, but may lack the power needed to knock the targets down.

Got Uzi Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I have a feeling it would be a tough match between the M3 and MP40.....depending on how the course of fire was set, the cyclic rate of the M3 might prove the better advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
