The Tommygun,
If We knew Then
what We know now!
Amen to that.
FYI, the Tommygun as a firearm is actually not that great - it is a fairly unreliable design, and parts break way too often. That is the word I have gotten from a friend of mine who owns/operates a gun store and range, who’s father bought one (violin case and all) about a year before he died. It was a dream of his to own one, and it cost him about $15K (about 12 years ago). My friend says that it is too damned heavy for what it does, yet hard to control, jams a bunch and breaks fairly often. She has a full-auto MP-5 to compare it to - and I’ve fired that, and it is a dream.
All that said, I would almost kill to own a Tommy Gun. I’d love to put on the pinstripe suit and a hat, and strike that pose with a cigar that Churchill once did. It’d be fun at Halloween parties, too. :>)
