John Jr Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Just what is the love affair with the Thompson? What makes this gun THE DEFINITIVE gun of the 20th century. Everybody knows THE TOMMY GUN. WHY? Was it the gagsters that used them, the military that used them, or was it Hollywood? Everybody HAS to have one....

PK. Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Most of us can’t really say want makes a beautiful woman such; it’s a combination of features that, when considered as a whole, are simply irresistible. The Thompson has that combination of “curves and anglesâ€. No one feature makes the gun, but when considered as a whole, it is “simply irresistibleâ€.

full auto 45 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Just saw a ad on subguns that a guy wants, or is asking, $23k for a WH Korean commerative gun. Last one of those had trouble selling at $15k the guy wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamm Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 What is it about the Thompson? Imagery. It's what we grew up with...war news, movies, comics, Capone Bingo! Phil hit's it on the mark. It is just the most recognized firearm in the history of guns. It's the Mona Lisa of Full Automatics It's "cool" factor is way up there... It's in our genes to follow these things around like dogs in heat! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
