M1A1-Thompson
The M1A1-Thompson is a ranged weapon from TABG. It is not used by any unit and is found only in the Unit Creator.
Characteristics
The M1A1 - Thompson is a submachine gun, a fast-firing weapon but lacking in damage. The weapon's high fire-rate can knock around and opponent, hindering their advance. However, the lack of raw power may prove problematic when facing groups, causing it to get overwhelmed easily.
The M1A1 - Thompson has a subpar effective range, due to its bullet spreading more the longer the distance. In addition, it has a clip size of 30 shots, which will require a reload after all shots has been fired. It takes a while for the weapon to reload, leaving it vulnerable during the timespan.
Like most modern firearms in the game, the time it takes to reload a clip cannot be altered in the Unit Creator. Shields can also stop its bullets as well as absorbing the knockback.
Trivia
- The M1A1 - Thompson uses the same ammunition as the PPSh-41 in-game.
- Due to its reload time for each shot being faster than its warm-up, the first shot may fire two bullets at once.
- The game based the Thompson on the M1A1 variant, which is much cheaper to produce than the M1928A1 variant.
- The M1A1 - Thompson fires .45 ACP ammunition in real-life.
- It is more formally called the "Thompson submachine gun".
- It has many nicknames, such as the "Tommy Gun", "Street Sweeper", "Trench Broom" and a lot more referencing Chicago, for some reason.
