The Thompson M1921 is a submachine gun first released in the 03/20/2013 content update as euro capsule.
Overview[]
The Thompson is a rather effective weapon for close quarters, and boasts a moderate 35 damage and a high 50 round magazine capacity. Recoil is not a problem when bursted and there is nearly no bloom. The user should take note of the rather slow reloading speed. However, when used properly, the Thompson M1921 dominates close quarter combat and easily goes head to head with the AKS-74U Desmodus.
Modifications[]
This gun has no modifications since it is a capsule weapon.

Tips[]
- The Thompson M1921 features a rather long reload time. To save yourself from being killed while reloading, always use the large 50 round magazine capacity to your advantage and reload when in a safe area. Never reload when an enemy is nearby, as the reload speed is almost guaranteed to kill you.
- The Thompson is strictly a burst gun, and should never be sprayed unless within 10 meters or at point blank range. At medium range, the Thompson has jumpy recoil but surprisingly low bloom.
- Again, use the 50 round clip to your advantage. In close quarter combat, the Thompson can easily take down multiple enemies giving the 50 round magazine capacity. When controlled bursting or spraying (depending on range), the Thompson can put down many enemies at once.
- Moveshot is great on the Thompson, so also use it to your advantage. Think of it like a PPSh-41 with less ammunition but more damage and recoil. You can move side to side rapidly and "sweep" the area with bullets.
- Stick with close quarters, as the Thompson is suited for maps such as AI: Township or AI: Pyramid.
Notable Comparisons[]
PPSh-41[]
Thompson M1921 can be considered as an upgraded, easier to use PPSh-41. Thompson has less ammo (50 instead of 71), lower RoF (65 to 70) and same mobility but offers higher damage (35 where PPSh has 31), higher range (30 instead of 25), higher accuracy (43 where PPSh has 40) and much higher stability (47 instead of 38). This leads to easy headshots.
Trivia[]
- When first introduced, the Thompson M1921 was the first euro capsule released on UAVA that could be bought for 1,000 euros + 25 BP. This was most likely a mistake, as it has since been changed back to the traditional 1,000 euros + 50 BP.
- The Thompson M1921 was the infamous 'Tommy' gun known to be used by American gangsters in the 1930's. The gangsters used it because it was efficient and held many rounds. This gun was favored by the infamous Al Capone.
- This gun was often referred to as the first handheld lead stream.
