Tokyo Marui Thompson M1A1 Automatic Electric Airsoft Rifle

Tokyo Marui Thompson M1A1 Automatic Electric Gun
John T. Thompson who helped develop the M1903 Springfield rifle and M1911 .45 calibre pistol, began work on a 'trench broom' for close quarter combat shortly after his retirement from the Army in 1918. He recognized that the .45 calibre slug used in the M1911 pistol would be devastating when used in a fully automatic weapon.
By the spring of 1920 Thompson's company (Auto-Ordnance) produced a prototype capable of firing 800 rounds a minute.
Despite its excellent test performance, the Thompson was not adopted for use by either the US Army or Marine Corps. Still, Thompson contracted with Colt for the manufacture of 15,000 guns, designated 'Thompson Submachine Gun, Model of 1921'. The 15,000 guns manufactured by Colt lasted until the eve of World War II. In 1940, the U.S. Army ordered 20,000 Thompson submachine guns; in 1941 the Army ordered an additional 319,000.

When Marui made their first AEG in 1992, they embarked on a quest to make a second generation gun that was of superior quality, design and build. Through many plans and trials, and many years later the Thompson SMG was born. Using many metal parts and paying high attention to detail, this certainly lives up to their standard as a second generation AEG. The body and all upper parts are constructed from metal whilst the very realistic wooden effect grips are developed in the same way as the AK47 series grips and stock. A new mechabox has been designed for this model - the version 6, using a powerful EG700 motor. All of this comes together to give you a truly fantastic gun.
