M1A1 Thompson Sub Machine Gun (Cybergun Licensed)

The Thompson is an All-American submachine gun, invented by John T. Thompson in 1919, that was well used during WWII but became infamous during America's Prohibition era. It was a common sight in the media of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals alike.

The Thompson was also known informally as: the "TSMG", the "Tommy Gun", the "Trench Broom", the "Trench Sweeper", the "Chicago Piano", the "Chicago Typewriter", and the "Chopper". In the case of the latter few nicknames, these were generally used to refer to the 1928 Chicago variant. Well used on the Silver screen, the Chicago Typewriter was a later variant and used with the distinctive drum magazine and ribbed barrel in most media. The M1A1 is the base model SMG used by American troops in the war.

This King Arms Airsoft Tommy gun is a fully licensed 1:1 AEG replica of the M1A1. It utilizes the Version 6 style gearbox, a tried and trusted system for many years now, which means it works well as is but also has the potential for further upgrades if you choose to. The hop-up is adjustable via the dial just short of the barrel from the outside, it is permanently exposed, so the bolt does not need to be pulled back to access it.

As the military model, it has the bolt pull in the correct place on the right; the handguard is the plane strait wooden type, and the stock and pistol grip are also wood, whilst the receiver and barrel are Aluminum. The fire selector and safety are two different toggle switches right next to each other, and the magazine release is located on the left side of the pistol grip, using an early form of extended-release catch.

The battery storage compartment is located in the solid stock, accessible through a rear hatch, and is designed to take a Dean-type battery and can support 7.4v Lipo or 9.6v Ni-MH. The hatch is designed to be able to connect/disconnect the battery easily, and the buttplate is removable to make battery installation easier.

The long-type magazine is a 110-round type mid-cap, making it appropriate as a short-range sweeping weapon. The magazine is polymer, making it very lightweight and comfortable to carry multiple on your person. The magazine has the same slotted-style attachment as the real steel, making the otherwise shallow attachment very secure. The King Arms straight box and drum magazines are interchangeable, with both being compatible on this weapon.

The Cybergun M1A1 AEG SMG has great build quality and good performance, making it a very decent SMG AEG in its own right, besides also being a charming replica of a period piece for themed games, whether for use as a military SMG or a law enforcement / criminal sequestered incident.
