M1928A1? I just love these drum feed models. I especially like the horizontal fore grip and Cutts Compensator.

Heavy
The Thompson was over 10 lbs. With loaded drum it was almost 15 lbs.
Real men measure once and cut.

15 lbs or not, I reckon the bloke was glad to have it with him given the situation. I doubt the weight worried him.

When we were younger, the weight didn't bother us much did it? You had to carry and your weapon was the least of it.
