---|---|---|
This Thompson M1928 submachine gun is a sinister looking weapon; every time you hold it, you have an urge to put on a fedora hat and crack your knuckles. The Thompson is well-fed by a large 75 round drum magazine. | ||

Basic information
This gun has an attractive magazine size and rounds-per-burst, but the damage is very inconsistent -- a gambler's weapon, perfect for a mobster. On the other hand, .45 rounds are laughably quick and easy to make since they use raw junk instead of metal parts, so impoverished low-level players might find this weapon a very attractive one if they want to level up by hunting critters. For its tier, it does pretty high damage per burst (roughly 180 compared to the combat shotgun’s ~130 on average), but again the damage can also swing very low. If you are a burst-specialized character with crafting abilities, consider the combat shotgun instead against enemies with high DR/DT and for more consistent damage – this weapon will never be effective with enemies that have substantial DR/DT because of the underwhelming properties of the .45 caliber round, whereas the combat shotgun can be quite effective against armored enemies when using flechette cartridges. Another extremely important and often-overlooked drawback is that this gun is two-handed, despite the fact that it is technically a submachine gun. One handers and gunslingers look elsewhere.
