The Thompson M1A1 rifle is a popular rifle among the Airsoft fan base. Its high power rating and authentic look and feel make it an ideal choice for those who want to mix performance with aesthetics.
The most popular among all the breeds is the Thompson M1A1 rifle. It does not only have a high power look but also has the feel of the real guns that makes the gun an ideal choice among the fans. Keeping in lines with the original guns, the Airsoft Thompson have a solid metal body that gives the guns the required weight so that the users can feel that the gun is a real one.
It is not complicated to learn how to use the Thompson M1A1 Airsoft rifle either. In fact, loading it is one of the simplest of matters to do. If you wish to change out a magazine on the gun all you do is feel around for the lever that is “C” shaped. It is located on the left hand side of the gun and right above where the trigger is. You then press on this lever which will release the magazine. Then you can free up the magazine using your other hand. The next step is to pour in the pellets and the priming. After this is done, you can then push the magazine into place, and this is achieved when you hear it go click.
A simple pull on the operating rod on the right side and the gun is reloaded and ready to fire. Even though the magazine only holds about 60 pellets, with 54 usable for shooting, the ease of reloading makes up for the guns low capacity.
Two small switches are on the left side of the rifle and located above the magazine release. These switches are the safety and the automatic switches. In the front of the Airsoft Tommy is the automatic control and to the back of the gun is the safety.
Making accuracy adjustments are also quick and easy. The hop-up control is located at the ejection point. A small, notched, black wheel has no fake bolt covering it, allows for faster adjustments. Hop-up is, of course, adjusting the back spin of the pellet to allow for a straighter vertical flight. Aiming is accomplished through a simple peep-sight. The peep-sight can be easily adjusted with fingers to account for wind and elevation. The sight is protected by metal ears to prevent being knocked out of line.
The peep-sight can be adjusted with fingers. Speaking of the velocity, the pellets of the Airsoft Tommy can be fired at the speed of 330+ FPS with a .20gm pellet and the speed of 420FPS can be attained with pellets weighing .12gms. The guns have amazing accuracy. The scorings can be grouped at 7 inches and 2.5 inches with fully automatic and semi-automatic rifles respectively (with .20gm pellets for both).
The amazing accuracy and the unmatched power of the guns make the Airsoft Thompson a popular choice for the Airsoft games. With these rifles the users can have the closest experience of the real life combats.
