The British thought that their good old SMLE was not second to any other gun, after all, speaking about infantry,Β their main enemies were the Italians, the Japanese and a small German expeditionary corp in Africa, for the rest the Russians and then the Americans Β solved everything else.

I sway between ww1 and ww2, in fact it can create some confusion.

The Bren Gun is still used to this day, I believe, by third world countries and such.

Nice, except I don't think the British used the M1 and M1A1Thompson.Β They did acquire Model 1928 and 28A1s I think.

I've found several references and photo, they weren't directly purchased, but they come with the Lend-Lease act.

okay, which ones?

The M1928 had been purchased then it was lend, the M1 and M1A1 were lend.
But at the end of the folk I replaced the M1 with a M1928.

Ok, I never thought the M1 variants were used by the British commonwealth because they had the sten series by then. But I knew their M1928 Thompson had some unique features such as how the sling swivels were mounted.

Didn't know Bran was based on a Czech submachine gun!
Thompson was a decent weapon, best of its time till the Germans developed their selective-fire Stg 44!

The Thompson was a very expansive weapon,Β even after the simplifications made to the M1 model, the M1928 modelΒ had a bolt made of solid bronze.

It was designed by the Capitalist

The Sten if I recall was kind of an emergency weapon put into production after the British left a good deal of their equipment at Dunkirk. It only cost $10 to make whereas the M1A1 Thompson I believe was $25 per gun. I'm told after the war the Israelis made Stens out of pipes and manufactured the cartridges from discarded lipstick containers.

I agree with you, it was a raw weapon designed in the dark years of the war,Β
I read that it could also be produced in a small blacksmith's workshop.

I think the they were even making the mane springs from bed springs in England!

it wouldn't be that surprising. I've read accounts of it going off if it hit something hard enough or it';s bullets bouncing off a thick coat.
