"Its a very good gun i've had mine for a very long time now and it's always served me well. The only bad things i've encountered are that the screws come out, make sure to tighten them up and never ever wind the mag the wrong way cuz it will break it and then only shoot like 5 rounds before you have to spin it instead of like 20-30. also there isn't any place to really attach a sling on the front. but otherwise it is really heavy, the mag holds 450 rounds which is nice, its all metal and the ABS plastic really looks and feels like wood. i'd reccommend this if you like old style guns. although i have no idea what you would use to upgrade anything in it. if anyone knows that would be helpful.

"I got this AEG for a birthday present, and I couldn't be happier with the performance. The only drawbacks I could find was that it is a bit too large for smaller players, and not quite historically accurate.
On the real M1928, the charging handle was situated on the top of the main receiver, whereas this model uses the side mounted charging handle found only on the later (and much simplified) M1A1 model adopted by Allied forces during WWII. The M1A1 was unable to acommodate drum magazines, due mostly to the stick type magazines being much more affordable and less prone to rattling or jamming than the drum versions. The trademark forward grip was also removed to cut down on costs, as well as the cooling fins along the barrel.
But enough of my gun-nut rambling. If you want a hardhitting, dependable and intimidating as all h*ll AEG, there is none better at this price. You won't regret it.

"i got the thompson m1a1 and it amazing! havent had a problem with it yet. the only bad thing about the m1a1 is that i only hold 47 rounds but you can upgrade to high cap mag. i have a friend that has this and its awsome! it is a long reach to the grip but you can also hold it by the mag! over all, this gun is a beast!

"WHAT A BEAST!!! Me and my friend were doing a CQB (Close Quaters Battle) and he was using an MP40
he bought that had about the same fps. I aimed at his legs and and shot about eighty rounds and he gave up. I was only hit four times and he had big knots on his legs. If you want a gun that kicks butt then here it is!!!
Also if you havent seen the movie "Public Enemies" or "Dillenger" then you may not like the way it looks but if you have then you know what I mean!

"Got my Thompson in today and I love it; unfortunately, the drum mag worked only once then failed to feed, even after winding it. So I had to reset the spring but haven't tried to fire it yet, but I think I might just hang on to it for show and purchase a stick mag on my next check.
In total 5 stars for the gun.
-1 for the drum mag.

"Awesome gun. bought it for myself for my birthday and I love this thing so much.
Pros:
Very high fire rate (with a butterfly type 9.6V 1100 mAh)
Shoots very accurately with .28's
(for my fellow airsofters that live in a very tight neighborhood) Super quiet and barley echoes when shooting at the lake.
Feels very sturdy
very nice weight
Cons:
Only comes with imitation wood, not the best feeling, and real wood parts are kinda hard to find.
the forward grip feels pretty wobbly, but this can be easily fixed
you have to break your grip to eject the magazine and switch between the fire selector

"Very consistent no hickups. Mags fit well and tight.

"This is the first gun I bought that worked from this site. The only con is that you have to turn the thing at the back of the magazine (or bottom if it's the small box, not the large mag) to load some BB's. It's annoying but I am so satisfied with the quality of the gun. On top of that, other sellers are charging $30+ for small pistol magazines while the big box mags that are high quality cost the same price.

"I got to say I never thought this gun was good at first. Two years ago I bought this gun and this was back when I was first getting into airsoft.I bought a sig 551 at the same time and I played way to much with that gun and never gave it a true chance. I recently went out to an airsoft event and now i consider myself a veteran player, I decided to bring out the old tommy. I was kind of skeptical on actually playing with it especially since the drum mag was broken (slightly it would only shoot 3 or 4 rounds before having to wind it up some more). but then i fell in love with it as soon as the game started i immediately was nailing people left and right and it was getting some crazy accuracy and range and i have a upgraded Krytac crb with a mad bull barrel and R-Hop and it was reaching just as far and maybe farther! After that day i immediately bought spare mags to continue to play with this gun cause i had a blast using it!

"I highly recommend this gun. I've had it for many years now although all it does it collect dust for me now. But anyways, when i used to use it as my primary weapon i loved every second. The only complaint i can say i have for this gun is the mag. I didn't tell my friend when i lend it to him that you have to crank it a certain way. If you don't follow the arrows on the mag to wind it, it just about breaks instantly and they are around 45 bucks to replace which is a downer. Also i am a smaller guy so the stock is somewhat large for me but I've found that if you just tuck the end of the stock under your armpit instead of holding it like you should, its a perfect shot down the sights. Overall I highly recommend this gun and it has lasted me many fun years and maybe even more to come. If you are debating between getting this or not, id say get it. You"re not wasting a penny.

"This is a gorgeous gun, heavy metal frame, and quite good for the price. I've had this gun a little over 3 years, the only thing that you need to do, is get a better battery, probably about a 9.6v small type, the stock battery mine came with was bad and gave me a lot of trouble, it would jam, and things like that. And I recommend getting a stick mag for this, the drum is very nice and showy, but the winding mechanization isn't all that great.
PROS:
Heavy
Durable metal frame
Good FPS around 400
Beautiful Sub machine gun
CONS:
The heavy plastic handle, stock, and grip can be a bit flimsy at times
Stock battery
Drum mag has flaws
Overall, it's pretty good.
