Airsoft Tommy guns offer toy gun enthusiasts the chance to experience a very lifelike replica. Made famous by Al Capone and his notorious Chicago gangsters, the Tommy gun reigned supreme in Chicago in the 1920s. Now, thanks to the magic of Airsoft, you can fight with your very own Thompson 1928.
The Tommy Guns produced in accordance with Airsoft rules only fire one bit of ammunition at a time. Although the rifle shoots its charge at over 300 fps, the spring mechanism ensures safety for the user. Nevertheless, we do recommend that you wear protective eyewear whenever engaging in an Airsoft firefight.
Winning the Battle with Tommy Guns
Like most Airsoft spring rifles, the Thompson works best with .12 gram BB rounds. You can investigate which BB's work best with your rifle by shooting off practice rounds on a firing range or open field. Bring along a notepad and jot down how each brand of BB handles.
While the standard BB brands--like Tokyo Marui and ICS--suffice for most target shooting operations, you should at least check out the top shelf ammo. Excel and TM market BB's that have won plaudits from numerous online reviewers. Experience the difference for yourself before purchasing a full cache of 8000 .12 gram BB's!
