Going to go burn some .45 in a FA Thompson tomorrow. Any questions I ought to ask?

[Maple Syrup Actual]

Tomorrow (July 27) is scheduled to be a great day. I'm taking a full auto Thompson out and, presumably, shooting men in zoot suits or, possibly, escaping the coppers and robbing banks in East Chicago, see?

Anyway, it turns out the local ERT unit kept their 1930s Thompsons in working order all this time and I'm going to try to talk them into doing an upcoming raid using period gear because that would be awesome for reasons I don't feel I should have to explain. They've bravely agreed to let me goof around with one for a while, which I really can't explain.

I don't think I really know enough about these things to have a bunch of built-in questions to answer. So if anyone has outstanding questions not resolved by watching The Untouchables, fire away. I could use some intelligent questions, because I'm pretty much planning on just hosing bullets and alternating between saying "Natch, see? The dirty coppers can't put on over on old Missy" and "fuck, this is awesome".


Your thoughts?

Enjoy. Thompsons are fun.

#1: Should you still see a doctor if the resulting erection lasts more than 4 hours?
#2: If you could sleep with any female celebrity or shoot the FA Thompson, what would you wear to the range?
#3: Seriously, that 4 hour thing, should I be concerned?

Oh, and smack yourself in the face with a hot iron if you don't put it in a violin case at least once.

[Maple Syrup Actual]

Oh no

I have no violin case

face smacking ensues

There's still time...right?

You've at least got a fedora. Tell me you've got a fedora.

[Maple Syrup Actual]

I have to be at the range at 9 am.

Man, tomorrow morning is going to involve some pretty frantic shopping.

There's got to be a thrift store you can knock over on the way to the range.

Pinstripes? What color tie?

[Josh Runkle]

I'd be asking local gun stores if they would be able to deliver a pallet of ammo last-minute.

Most. Fun. Shooting. Ever. Mag dumps in a B8 at 5-7 yards possible. Kind of like that game at the fair where you have to shoot out the star with BB machine guns, but real.

We have a couple 1928 Navy Overstamps. I want to take one on a raid before I retire.
