They look like they're ragging on the guy with the Brit smock ... first guy is saying, "Where the f*ck did you get that??" The kid is saying, "Looks like my old Doctor Dentons!" The guy on the right is saying, "Crazy Joe always comes up with weird stuff." LOL

One advantage of the M1/M1A1 Thompson is that you can apply the safety with the bolt in the forward position and not worry about dropping the weapon and having an accidental discharge.
With the M21/28 series you could not apply the safety with the bolt closed on an empty chamber and if dropped, the inertia would allow the bolt to travel far enough to pick-up a cartridge and chamber it firing the weapon. Very few M28 Thompsons were modified with the extra safety bolt notch and these were done by the British in the field.

Note in the above photo all the bolts are closed

Ha Ha Ha Bob S i love it.....more likely he is an "influencial" officer.... judging by the binos round his neck.....who had a penchant for the unusual..but that is definatley a British dennison smock.....by the studs at the crotch....

Perhaps he won it at a game of "craps".....
