This Thompson submachine gun takes off expectantly for this shooter. Was the Thompson excited to run away?

SKS can do that when dirty. My SKS would slam fire. Very scary when you fire a round then an extra round fires.
The firing pin will get frozen forward when dirty, causing the extra firing.
Always keep your rifle pointed down range when loaded...

Anyone remember the APACHE? A knock off of a Thompson advertised in gun magazines fifty years ago.
It was later banned when it was found to go full auto if you pulled the trigger, and pressed the safety at the same time.

Given the number of Thompson’s produced and used especially during WW-II, I find it hard to believe this problem wasn’t identified years ago or was at least anecdotal with Thompson users.
