It also shoots pistol-sized ammo. YKW will undoubtedly have this hanging from a wall soon:

If shot a Thompson .45 yes a selective one. It dumps a 25 end load pretty easily. Heavier than it looks but quite handleable.

Did you buy one?

Not hardly. I'm thinking Harry would like one of these as a remembrance of his secret duties in
Vietnam.


Glad y'all brought up Viet Nam.
I'm recording and viewing a lengthy series on Maine PBS about that war.
Trouble is..it always ends the same with y'all cutting and running from that embassy roof in Saigon. Darn shame for those poor trusting folks who believed your bull****.

What wars in your lifetime did the politicians not run? They sure as
hell "ran" WWII.

Politicians cause wars, start the wars but these days they don't seem
to know how to stop the wars they start.
When was the last time we actually ended a war? (terms, agreement,
signing and such) 1945?
The rest are still going on ... except the one we just gave up on.
(Vietnam).
The episode I most remember from the show is the guy who was later
given up as dead telling about a hill they took, at great loss of
life. They took a few pictures and flew away, giving the hill back
That is what was wrong with the war. Politicians made the decisions
about what they did and why they were doing it. Like most government
operations in the last 70 years, it was a cluster****.

The wars were all started by politicians. But WW2 was probably the last
one they did not micromanage. Rumor d that LBJ let big campaign donors
pick targets for the day. We have had 3 POTUS before Trump, who did seem
to know how to end the wars. Got us in to more. Why did we go to Syria?
DOD pick it?

How do you figure? We are still in every war we started since the GHWB
administration. (basically Afghanistan and the area around Iraq) They
just morphed into another war in the same general place without ever
having a clear objective or anything to actually win.

The shame is everyone including Canada still falls for the ****. How
many Canuks went to the middle east in the last quarter century or so?

Thanks for your kind comments regarding your next door neighbor but
Canada isn't completely fault-free as far as Vietnam goes. Your country
didn't do any of the dirty work involving fighting and dying but your
industry manufactured and supplied the US military with some of the
tools and weapons used, including napalm and Agent Orange.

From Wiki:

"500 firms (Canadian) sold $2.5 billion of war materials (ammunition,
napalm, aircraft engines and explosives) to the Pentagon. Another $10
billion in food, beverages, berets and boots for the troops was exported
to the U.S., as well as nickel, copper, lead, oil, brass for shell
casings, wiring, plate armour and military transport. In Canada
unemployment fell to record low levels of 3.9%"

So, making a buck off of someone else's dirty work is ok with you?
