like the original, and also operates like the original in every way, such as:

exactly like the original.

The model M1 is a simplified
version of the 1928 A1 model and was adopted in April 1942. The M-1 and M-1A1
updated models of the venerable Thompson were devised by Savage Arms
The M1 Thompson is the last
production version of the Thompson series
This is the model that was
used by Rangers through the end of WWII
This gun is very popular
because of its reliability and use throughout WWII, Korea and Vietnam
Not only did US soldiers use
the Thompson in Vietnam, but they encountered it as well. A number of them were
made in small jungle workshops in North Vietnam. The Thompson is still in use
worldwide especially with guerrilla forces.
In the
United States it was used by law enforcement, most prominently by the
FBI, until 1976 when it was declared obsolete.
A U.S. Marine, fighting in Okinawa,
Japan, during World War II, fires a military-issue Thompson's submachine gun.
The Thompson was very popular because of its
