Took a trip up to Wisconsin (Behind the Cheddar Curtain) this past weekend. Though it was for unpleasant reasons, I did have the good fortune to have a nice shooting outting with a fellow VW enthusiast..
Got to try my hands on an authentic WWII dated Thompson in all it's full-auto glory.

And like another first time, it was over just that quick.

3Also they take longer than a 50 round drum to load.
In a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich the chicken and cow are involved while the pig is committed.

4Runs better than the godawful M3 Grease Guns we were issued for our M60 tanks. Those POS can all be melted down (ok, one or three for museums) as far as I'm concerned.

5Oh, BTW where in Wisconsin was this? I want to know who has a sheriff that'll sign off on full autos in case I ever get the money for an M2 carbine.
