Looking for a Thompson Airsoft Gun?

The Thompson Submachine gun has been famous since it was first invented in 1919 by General John T. Thompson. The gun is easily recognizable and holds historical importance after being used in WWII and during the Prohibition by law enforcement and criminals alike. Informally, the Thompson is known as the "Tommy Gun," the "Trench Broom," the "Trench Sweeper," the "Chicago Piano," the "Chicago Typewriter," and the "Chopper."

The gun was originally invented to be used for trench warfare during WWI, but the war ended before prototypes could be shipped over to Europe. The gun was originally going to be called "The Anihilator" but for post-WWI marketing purposes it was renamed the "Thompson Submachine Gun."

The tommy gun was adopted by the U.S. Military in 1938 and played an important role in WWII for the Allied troops as a weapon for scouts, non-commissioned officers, and patrol-leaders. It was also widely utilized by British and Canadian Commando units as well as by U.S. paratrooper and ranger battalions.

The gun is famous for its use in the military as well as its use by gangsters. We stock two airsoft versions of the gun. One is a replica of the M1 A1 which was used mainly in the military, and the other is a replica of the 1928 version with the drum magazine typically seen in gangster films.

Thompson M1 A1 Airsoft Gun

The M1 A1 Airsoft gun is an authentic replica of the Thompson. It is fully automatic and comes with a 47 round magazine. It features a metal body and reinforced metal gearbox with steel gears and metal bushings, a simulated wood grain stock and front grip. A 1100 mAh 8.4v battery and compatible charger are also included. Fires a steady 340 FPS with 0.20g BBs. This is a great airsoft gun and one of our most popular models.

Thompson M1928 Full Metal Airsoft Gun

The M1928 is the "gangster version" of the Thompson, often seen in the hands of infamous criminals like Al Capone. Our M1928 airsoft gun is an authentic replica of the real gun. The full metal body gives it the feel of the real thing. Everything you need is included with the gun, including the battery and charger. The drum mag holds an impressive 450 rounds, more than enough to clear out your competition on the airsoft field. The simulated wood stock, pistol grip and front grip look very realistic.

Scoping your airsoft rifle

Adding a scope to your airsoft rifle is a fairly straightforward process. The parts you will need to add a scope include a mounting rail, the scope itself, and mounting rings. Most rifles come with a built in top rail, and chances are that your rifle does too. In case it does not, there are many ways of adding a rail to your rifle. See the list below for links to rail mounts which fit different gun styles.

AK47 Rail Mount

M16/M4 Rail Mount

G36 Rail Mount

MP5 Rail Mount

FAMAS Rail Mount

Once you have a rail mounted on your rifle the next step is to pick out the scope that will work best for your needs. As you look for a scope you will most likely come across the terms listed below. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with them as the specs of your scope will affect how well it suits you in the field.

Magnification - This is basically how close the scope brings you to your target. For example, an object viewed through a scope with a magnification of 5 will appear to be 5 times larger when viewed through the scope than when viewed with the naked eye.

Eye relief - The eye relief is the distance from the eyepiece you must position your eye to see the image correctly. The shorter the eye relief the closer you have to be to the scope when using it to aim.

Objective lens diameter - The diameter of the objective lens, usually expressed in millimeters. The larger the objective lens the more light can be gathered from an image.

Tube Diameter - The diameter of the tube does not have a direct effect on the image rendered by the scope, but it does effect how you mount the scope. The tube diameter must be the same as the rings which you use to mount the scope.

When looking at scopes the specifications will usually be displayed as follows: 3-9x50. The 3-9x means that the scope has a variable magnification between 3x to 9x. The 50 stands for the objective lens diameter, which is 50mm.

There are many different scopes with with varying degrees of magnification. For mid ranged rifles (most AEGs) we recommend that you choose a scope with a magnification of 3x-6x. Higher magnifications will not be very useful for your rifle's firing range. Also note that lower magnifications make it easier to keep the image steady, and higher magnifications show a smaller field of view. For sniper rifles a higher magnification will be more beneficial as your targets will usually be at a greater distance.

Once you have a scope picked out the last part is getting the appropriate sized rings. The ring size will correspond to the scope's tube diameter, so a 1" tube scope will use 1" rings. You also need to make sure that the rings fit your rail. For most airsoft applications weaver bases are used, in which case weaver rings should also be used.

We've also added two new full metal AEGs to our line of Echo 1 Products. First up is the Full Metal M4 AEG. This badboy features full metal construction and fires at an impressive 360 FPS with 0.20g BBs. As with most Echo 1's, everything you need is included right out of the box. The battery is a standard 1100 mAh, 8.4v with mini connector which can easily be upgraded to higher voltage for higher RPM. A nice feature on this gun is that the front barrel can be unscrewed, allowing you to add a custom flash hider or fake silencer. This is great if you want to use the rifle for CQB games.

You will no doubt also want to check out the Echo 1 AKM Full Metal AEG. This rifle really packs a punch, it shoots a staggering 440 FPS right out of the box.
