Fake Tommygun
Look at this photo: it's not a Thompson, it's a PPSh-41 mocked up to look like one. Check the distance between trigger guard and drum mag, for example, and notice that rear half of the receiver is mounted into a wooden stock.
- You are right! I didn't notice it (to my shame). Greg-Z 03:50, 29 November 2011 (CST)
- And the "real" Tommygun was most probably a Denix replica. I highly doubt that a functional Thompson would be available anywhere in the Commie Bloc. From Warsaw with love, --Seriously Mike 08:42, 29 November 2011 (CST)
