M1A1 Thompson

Summary
This weapon is great at tearing down hordes and having the ability to continuously fire for a while without having to reload. Having great accuracy, damage, and being automatic make this gun a great pick-up for any survivor. Be careful, for it does chew through ammo pretty quick, so don't miss too many shots.

If you like having the ability kill targets at a distance, but don't have the capabilities to use a rifle, then this is the weapon for you.

Background Story
While checking off their hypothetical checklist, it came to light that there was a lack of a fully automatic weapon on the market.

As an introduction weapon to R-Brain Hardwork's new category, the M1A1 Thompson was created. It still holds up to this day as a solid beginning to the automatic series.

Tips

 * The fire rate can be slow, so aim at the head to be efficient.
 * Don't bother tap firing. It's the same thing as going fully automatic.
 * The lack of overheating can help with sustained fire against hordes.
 * While ADS'ing, mind the recoil. Pull down to compensate.
 * You can bring armor, such as the Bulldozer I or the Bulldozer II, and you will have 3 clips, which will make the gun's ammo last longer.
 * Use the Ironsights attachment, as it makes the gun slightly more accurate.
 * It's not as overpowered as you think.
 * Don't panic if you see someone with this in Free For All.
