This video from Forgotten Weapons features a range test and comparison of three iconic Thompson submachine gun models: the 1921, the 21/28, and the M1A1. The host, Ian McCollum, explores the differences in handling and shootability, particularly focusing on the impact of the Cutt's Compensator and varying rates of fire. Surprisingly, despite its weight and awkwardness, the 1921 model is found to be the preferred firearm due to its effective high rate of fire, offering less vibration and sight disruption than the other variants.
This video explores the US Marines' adoption of the Thompson submachine gun, focusing on the transition from the 1921 model to the 1928 model. It details how the US Navy requested a reduced rate of fire for improved controllability and ammunition conservation, leading Auto-Ordnance to modify the actuator with added mass. The discussion highlights the "21/28 overstamp" designation for guns modified from the original 1921 production. The video touches upon the limited sales of the Thompson in its early years due to its high cost and lack of a major conflict, and its relatively small adoption by American law enforcement agencies like the FBI.
