Thompson or AR?

[Old Time Hunter]

Had the opportunity to shoot a full auto, original Thompson once....it was a hoot. Much easier to warm up to the Thompson for me! AR's don't do anything for me, to impersonal....no real history.....GO Vic Morro and COMBAT!

in semi-auto , Thompson is ok , in full auto , a huge ball of smiles...

AR all the way.

Had a Thompson, most expensive , least reliable gun I ever owned, sold it at a loss as quickly as I could. Hunted hogs with my friends AR15, awesome gun.

I have only messed with a Thompson a couple of times and it was the real deal with all the bells and whistles. Don't ever pass up the chance if you get it . Truth be told on the same day I got to run a 20 rd mag through a M16. At the time I had not even shot an Ar!
The answer to your question lies within! It all depends on what you want this gun to do. To my way of thinking if you are not totally sure in what you want the AR would be a beter bet as it can be easily reconfigured to almost whatever you want to do with it
