But which WW2 era submachine gun?
The Thompson
With a drum mag
And call it the Chicago Typewriter
Listen, my grandpa sold Thompsons, I hate to slander that gun, but it was heavy as fuck and very expensive. There's a reason the British replaced it with the Sten and the Americans dropped it for the grease gun.
The later revisions of the Thompson were simpler to manufacture and cost around a third as much as the originals. Your points are still all correct but I think it's interesting to point that out.
“I hate you!”
PPSH obviously
41 or 43?
Pronounced pepesh, of course
Ofc the rus. pronounciation aka. ППШ
Browning M2 please. It's technically a sub machine gun because there are both guns and machines that are larger than it is and I would like one, thank you.
