That is definitely a Tommy Gun smile.

Is this girl old enough that I'm allowed to say there's something schwing about a pretty girl and a Thompson?

 

gonna have to give that one a big probably not. doubt she's older than 16-17.

18 years old.....high school senior. Yes, she had fun. I was giving each student about 4 rounds in the gun. Just right for a nice short burst. Sometimes you just gotta let them shoot without getting too technical on how they are "supposed" to do it. Takes the fun out of it.

I only had 5 kids in my group so I let em do a XX mag each...

I have taken some of the kids in our youth group shooting and like deerslayer said, you don't want to get too technical where it takes away the fun. I do make sure they know what to expect with recoil and muzzle rise, and try to show them the best ways to shoot the gun, but when it comes time for them to shoot, they tend to forget most of what you told them. The full auto grin they have makes it all worth while!!! I get more enjoyment out of letting others shoot my Thompson for the first time, than when I shoot it myself, especially when they are students or young people.
