	Late response. The original Model 1921 did not have a compensator; the compensator was added with the Model 1921AC and became standard with the Military issue Model 1928 and 1928A1.		Late response. The original Model 1921 did not have a compensator; the compensator was added with the Model 1921AC and became standard with the Military issue Model 1928 and 1928A1.
	The compensators were slightly helpful in countering recoil in full auto fire. However, the recoil of .45 pistol ammo from a 12 pound two-handed shoulder-braced gun is not so great. Many users found ways to control the Tommy gun without the compensator even when firing bursts longer than three or four rounds. In semi-auto fire it was not necessary. Most Thompsons produced by the end of WWII did away with the compensator, first as a cost cutting measure, second because it was not that big a help, and third because it directed gases up in your line of sight obscuring the target. (Smokeless powder is actual less smoke powder.)		The compensators were slightly helpful in countering recoil in full auto fire.
