Thompson Submachine Gun

thingiverse

This is a comprehensive, printable replica of the iconic Thompson firearm. The model features both the classic drum magazine and vertical foregrip, replicating every intricate detail of the original firearm's engraved text. A notable modification from the authentic version is the substitution of the ladder style rear sight with a more practical fixed sight. Despite its robust overall construction, one potential weakness exists: the connection between the foregrip and barrel, mirroring the same vulnerability that led to the standard barrel foregrip replacement in historical models. This aspect lends historical accuracy to the replica. The model boasts no movable components and is relatively straightforward to assemble, even without the aid of internal guide rods. However, it requires a substantial amount of material – nearly an entire kilogram roll of PLA filament – and approximately 80 hours of print time.
