Page 2 of 4 - Thompson M1928 Full-Metal Airsoft Submachine Gun Reviews

the most appealing thing about this tommy gun is the look of the real thing and the realistic weight along with the fit and finish of all the parts is spot on. there have been no malfunctions after shooting 1000 rounds mostly on full auto.i use the gun as a prop when dressing up as a 1920s gangster for our model a ford club banquets and keeping the squirrels out of the bird feeders. its worth the $160. bucks i paid for it and a real conversation piece at the dress up events we attend. i also like the fact that the real thompson logo is stamped on the front of the drum magazine and there is no MADE IN CHINA stamped anywhere visible that i can see. it was only stated in the owners manual.

i wish there was a little more room for the wires that hook up to the battery. i found that if you remove the foam piece in the upper chamber of the stock, you can gain that extra room needed for the wires that hook up to the battery. it would also be nice if the spring holding the butt plate to the shoulder stock was a little stronger so the butt plate was more secure. the rear sight is kind of mickey mouse with no actual click adjusters for windage and elevation but after all this is supposed to be a toy. the thing i would really like to see changed is the instruction manual because it doesn't go into details that feel are important like using finger pressure to pull or push up and down or right and left to change the rear sight. no mention of what the wind up lever on the front of the drum magazine is for and to never turn it the wrong way or you will damage it beyond repair however there are arrows stamped into the lever. finally the "hop up" feature could be explained much better.

as mentioned above, the "hop up" feature is not explained very well. the directions say to rotate the hop up wheel for different weights of the airsoft
BBs. do you rotate the wheel counter clockwise for lighter weight BBs or do you rotate it clockwise for lighter or heavier weight BBs? its stuff like this that should have a detailed explanation.i called a technition at pyramid air about the hop up feature for details on which way you turn the wheel for the different weight BBs. sadly they were unable to give me an answer. can anyone give me an answer to my question?

Like the size and weight.

I would change the receiver to the 1928 version with the charging handle on the top --- This version is like the Military M1A1 Thompson with the charging handle on the side of the receiver. I would make the Cutts compensator more accurate and with the logo.

Shoots fast and pretty accurate.

nothing

Shoots the 2.5 bb's better then the lower ones.

The sub-machine gun is top quality. Everything is as it should be and it even came with a sling I wasnt expecting. It is fantastic.

When I got it I was surprised on how original it looked. Very well built. Kind of heavy but like a real Tommy gun would be. Made out of metal not plastic. Nice gun and shoots very well.

I would like it to be a real metal BB gun not soft BB's, but still fun to shoot.

It is heavy. If you have small kids that want to shoot it you might have to help them.

very quiet for aeg. solid. reliable.

the plastic fake wood looks good, but definately cheapens the overall gun since the rest if it is SO GOOD.

GREAT LOOKING REPLICA

PYRAMID AIR'S COMMUNICATION FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE PHONE SYSTEM IS TOTALLY ABSURD!!

I RECEIVED THIS ITEM, PREPARED IT AS INSTRUCTED IN OWNER SHEET, TRIED TO FIRE IT, IT CYCLED 4 TIMES IN SEMI AUTO AND DIED. BATTERY AND ALL CONNECTIONS GOOD BUT TRIGGER DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - SENT IT BACK FOR REFUND, NEVER GOT A REPLY ABOUT REPLACEMENT TIME SCHEDULE UNTIL WHEN I CALLED PYRAMID AIR (WHICH TOOK 30 MINUTES OF WAIT TIME TO FINALLY TALK TO A PERSON) I WAS THEN TOLD THAT REPLACEMENT WOULD NOT BE SHIPPED FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS BECAUSE THEY ARE ON BACKORDER. (HAD I NOT CALLED I WOULD NOT KNOW ABOUT THE DELAY) I THEN REQUESTED A REFUND, AND WAS GIVEN IT.

the look -- the feel --- but i have to say writing this review i cannot really tell you much because when i got the gun the drum magazine had a problem it would only let you fire 10 to 15 bb's then the gun stop firing so i return the gun with no problem's from pyramyd air at all but i think if were to buy the thompson al capone stile machine gun some time down the road i'll get the kingarms version wish i beleave to be a better build gun

nothing

if your buying this gun from Canada with the exchange rate on the dollar tax's duty shipping the cost is more than you may think.

WOW! This is a fun one folks! Heavy all metal design and a real eye catcher, pretty accurate too!

Drop the cheesy wood grain plastic and use real wood! For the money and attention to detail this really brings down the look of quality.

The battery has okay life span but died fast. The blaze orange pastic cap breaks off easily when banged, so beware if local laws requires it. Overall I had a blast shooting some .20g metal bbs through this as a stack of glass jars and bottles! Pick up one, looks great in a display case.

All of it! It is pretty much all -metal, very heavy! Not for the kids! My boys have their auto guns too, but run for the hills when this puppy comes out to play! It has a very fast fire-rate, and hits hard! Adjustable hop-up for the type of round you use. .20 g works the best. We tore through a beverage can in seconds, and split it into two halves! When you hit hard surfaces, the rounds just disintegrate ! Feels great, looks great!

Nothing really... Just keep in mind that the grips are plastic, but look like wood... If anything to change would be wood grips instead of the fake stuff.... But has nothing to do with the performance anyway.

Make sure to turn the winder in the drum mag in the correct direction! I saw a warning on this, and i make sure to do it right. Just want to pass it along.... Also use a silicone light oil on the barrel and workings of the gun. Too heavy for youngsters to use, so I would not get one for them... I'm sure with its given weight, dropping it will do much harm to the gun.. Not for the kids at all.... Mine cant hold it up to take single accurate shot...
