Reposting most of a thread by a Philippine reservist (handle: cebuboy)

Many thanks to the US Army and US Air Force
for a medical mission successfully completed in Cebu, Philippines!
Your guys and gals got to pose with the local reservists' tommy guns:

Nice guns.

I got to shoot a Thompson once upon a time with a WWII Re-Enactor friend of mine...awesome firepower. Good to know that they are still in use somewhere. TDCJ (Texas Prison System) used them until the early 1980s.

Just my .02,

If I send you my FedEx account number and mailing address, do you suppose they could send just one of the Thompsons to me?

Just askin', I mean, I'll pay for the shipping and all...:cool:

The Philippine Marines are also using M3A1s. They needed a .45acp subgun with the ablity to be suppressed. Looked at the cost of the H&K UMP, then looked at the M3A1s they had, recondionted them and used them instead. To recondtion 40 of them was the same cost of one UMP.
