Can not make out the photo but it almost looks like a drum on the M1928A! TSMG ?
The Marines used them for an inordinate amount of time. They stole them with the US Postal Thompsons they took when they quit guarding the mail cars...on the railway.Quote:

Can you imagine how heavy a gun with 100 rounds in the drum would be to carry?
about 17 lbs, the Chicago gangsters loved them
Machos:lol:
Where is Gakiya?
On the bright side they get progressively lighter as you shoot. It behooves you to shoot more...Quote:
