No war had more famous weapons than World War 2,and perhaps no firearms are more recognizable than the two main weapons from WW2: The Thompson M1A1 and the German MP40.
The Thompson M1A1 and the M1 Garand were the primary weapons used by the The United States Army during WW2.A simplified version of the M1928A1, the M1A1 could be produced in half the time at a much lower cost, both of which were key ingredients to it's implementation during a war time "tight" economy. The M1A1 was also used by the United Kingdom and France because of it's dependability. By the End of 1942,over 1.3 million Thompson M1A1s were made.
Both saw action in the European theater and both have a rich history. True to the originals,the Airsoft versions of the M1A1 and MP40 give you the 1.1 scale and high fire rate that made them famous.
