Some of the others I have owned before and or own now. And i have shot and own a WW-1 Black Army Colt Govt model.. And I have shot a full auto Thompson in full auto. It was pre WW-2 and after WW-1... Wicked nice bluing on those.

I would love to own one.
Yeah, i've personally never owned or even shot a Thompson but my uncle that has got me into these guns... He's the one that has one he has a bunch of firearms that i'd like to shoot but he lives 5 hours away from here; and no school break until December so i guess i'll just have to wait; GREAT comment though! I would love to shoot really any of the other WW2 guns but i find myself with limited time D:

By chance were you in the military? That's a ton of guns to shoot as a civilian! Great comment though i would love to shoot some of them myself. how do the British guns fire? Are they nice and smooth or bulky as far as it looks as well.

Do the guns give it away?

How is a British Sten SMG? It's a very crude submachine gun. The one I shot had issues along the way. They were made to be produced cheap and in very very large quanites. It ain't no HK MP5 or UZI.

I forgot that the Model 12 went to war - I have one of those, but not a military one, own and shoot Lugers, including one Artillery model, M1911 of course but not a military one, have shot but don't own K98, own and shoot Garand, Enfield 30-06, Walther PP, and a Colt and Remington pocket pistol, both in 32 ACP.

Own and shoot a Trapdoor Springfield 45-70, as well, but I don't think anyone used them in WWII. Possible that some National Guard units drilled with them, not sure.
