Thompson Submachine Gun

This is a full scale, printable version of the original Thompson. It includes both the classic drum magazine, the vertical foregrip, and all of the engraved text of the original firearm. The only difference is the original ladder style rear sight has been replaced with the more popular fixed sight.

While the finished model is very sturdy overall, there is one weak spot: the connection of the foregrip to the barrel. This is the same weakness that resulted in the grip being replaced with the standard barrel foregrip, so it's at least historically accurate.

The model has no moving parts, and is fairly easy to assemble, even without internal guide rods. It does take almost an entire 1kg roll of PLA to print, and better than 80 hours of print time.
