Buying Thompson Airsoft Guns
You can pay some pretty hefty prices for a Thompson airsoft Gun - it certainly pays to shop around. It should always be on a web shopper's list to check ebay - not only will you save money on used Thompson airsoft Guns, but the prices on new ones can be well below what you find elsewhere, even on the net. Merchants use ebay as a way to sell excess, last year's models, etc.
Why mess around with a lesser brand, when you can pay the same low prices you pay for an inferior airsoft gun, but get the higher quality model you really want? On ebay, you'll find trusted sellers who specialize in airsoft- check their feedback ratings, experience, etc. before you buy, and you'll have virtually no risk.
About Airsoft Guns
Airsoft guns (also known as Soft Air guns by some manufacturers, such as Cybergun and Crosman) are spring, electric, or gas powered air guns that fire small spherical plastic pellets of either 6 mm or 8 mm diameter (0.24 or 0.32 inches), although spring-operated "air guns" may be disputed as air guns altogether. Inexpensive airsoft guns are often very low powered and some players use them as professional airsofters would, but instead they play in areas like a house's backyard. Some of the more expensive models may be used for playing professional Airsoft, which is similar in concept to Paintball, with the exception that airsoft is a military simulation that usually has objectives instead of constant 'deathmatches.'
Generally they are replicas (in appearance only they can not be converted to fire real bullets) of real firearms, but occasionally fictional firearms or body kits are available, such as the M41A Pulse Rifle from the Aliens films. Some very inexpensive airsoft guns are reduced scale models (such as the Boys models by some makers) or caricatures (such as the mini-electrics) of firearms. In addition, some designs are replicas of firearms that never even went into service or production, such as XM8 prototypes.
Classic Airsoft Guns
Classic airsoft guns are usually older variety airsoft guns which are gas powered. Unlike the gas pistols of today, they can run on either an internal tank using conventional airsoft gas or use an external CO2 tank much like a paintball gun. They generally cost more than the standard AEG but provide a more realistic approach to airsoft. There is usually some "recoil" provided by these guns. While these guns can become more powerful than AEG's, almost all users operate them at sub-AEG power. Instead of relying on pure FPS for range and accuracy, they employ a special hop-up called a LRB. The LRB turns the entire barrel into a hop-up system, so the pellet can travel much farther without high muzzle energy. They also have a higher rate of fire because a spring doesn't need to be pulled back each time a shot must be fired.
Thompson Submachine Gun
The Thompson submachine gun is an American submachine gun that became infamous during the Prohibition era. It was a common sight of the time, being used overwhelmingly by both law enforcement officers and criminals. The Thompson was also known as the "Tommy Gun", "Chopper", "Chicago Typewriter" and "Chicago Piano". The Thompson was favored by soldiers and civilians alike for its compactness, large .45 ACP bullet, and high volume of automatic fire.
In 1938, the Thompson submachine gun was adopted by the U.S. military, serving during World War II and later into the Korean War, as well as early stages of the Vietnam War. Other Allied countries purchased the Thompson as well, notably the United Kingdom and France. Modifications to simplify production and reduce cost were made in 1942, resulting in the M1 and M1A1 models, which were commonly carried by both non-commissioned and commissioned officers.
