Pros & Cons
Pros
It feels great, looks great, and performs great. It’s definitely a fun gun to plink with. Very nice recreation.
I am blown away. It really is surprisingly accurate. That is an 8 inch target, and it was about 30 feet away. Rate of fire is insane, probably 20 rounds per second on the thompson.
Its weight is hefty and aside from the plastic grip and stock it feels like you're holding a real thompson. It's like holding a piece of history in your hands even if it’s just a replica.
The magazine is a little tricky to load but after a couple times you'll get the hang of it. Spare magazines are a good idea and a strap. It uses two co² cartridges at a time and you get about 3 magazines out of each two cartridges.
Heavy sling swivels. Good overall build quality. Faux wood furniture is solid with no undue movement.
Highlights
Quality
I’m very surprised by the quality of the fake wood, the amount of actual metal furniture and the actual heft of the piece.
Woods fake but good overall build quality is nice.

Price

Packaging/appearance
My brother in-law was afraid to shoot it even though i demonstrated it was relatively harmless.
As far as the piercing of the caplets issue goes, drop a dime (to coin a phrase from the guns era) down the clip before inserti... Read More
Competitiveness
Use the umarex c02 cartridges and bb's.

You really have to crank down the locking screw until it will not tighten anymore

Actually i do know how you can just use one at a time but the fps does suffer as well as the accuracy
