Re: Muzzle climb on a Thompson.

Gents,
Havent seen the movie but, if the Tommy has the Cutts compensator, (1921/28 AC) there is negligible muzzle climb, just a sustained gentle rearward push. I have .... shot and sold several Tommys and all were very smooth and very accurate. This often comes a a surprise to a first time Tommygun user. With a drum (referred to by oldtimers as a cookie cutter", the piece is exceptionally stable, although it is sometimes hard to hold it steady because of the giggling that the shooter inevitably does as all those 45 slugs go flying down range.
