The same town they are now filming the silly Jersey Shore TV program.
The only real sub-machine gun I got to play with was an old Thompson that a friend had gone to the trouble of getting a class two license to own.
My reaction was that it was a very cool “toy” but there is no way I could afford having 45 rounds leaving the weapon at 600 rounds per minute.
On top of that you could not used reloads in such a weapon as jamming is bad enough with a 1911 model A handgun with reloads.
Yes; very true. Those re-loads are a lot more trouble than thay r worth.
Use good, new ammo.
When I was a boy (age 8 to 13) in Arizona,
I lived next door to a captain in the U.S. National Guard,
who had a boy my age. On Saturdays, he used to drive the kids in the naborhood (there were a lot of us) to an Army fort,
where we worked out on its gunnery range. Sometimes we took 2 or 3 cars; took food had picnics, sometimes the whole family.
It was a lot of fun. We worked out with all kinds of firepower,
including the Thompson Sub, using both kinds of magazine.
I liked the round drum, with 200 rounds, as I remember and different handguns.
Sometimes we drove out on the desert.
We also brought a lot of our own guns that we wanted to use.
I miss some of my friends from back then, mostly a kid
who had the same first name that I do.
