the very same ammo.....well it had to be powerful enough to cycle the weapon, but yes you could unload a 1911 and load it into a thompson and fire it.Smitty5613 wrote:
i knew the M14 is the .308 caliber version of the 30-06 M1 Garand, the stock was made smaller on it and it had full auto capabilitiesParker wrote:
no the bar is not standard military today, but you can still purchase browning automatic rifles all over the place.Smitty5613 wrote:
i dont think the B.A.R. is used standard in the US military anymore... and they dont use the M1, they use the M14 now.....
and the thompson wasnt very accurate at long ranges.. but i guess if your clearing out bunkers, or ur in hedgerows, then its pretty accurate
the M14 is an updated version of the M1.
the thompson uses pistol rounds so anyone that thinks it would be accurate at long ranges is mistaken. the accuracy i was referring to was in full auto.
do you know much about firearms?
but i actually didnt kno the Thompson used pistol ammo, i thought i was just a modified .45 caliber or something... so it took the same ammo as the M1911
anytime you hear the term sub machine gun it is referring to a small rifle that fires pistol ammo.
examples would be-uzi, mp5, ump, p90 and the thompson among many others.
