  • Thompson Brochure 9Th Edition.Indd
    9th Edition Own A Piece Of American History Thompson Submachine Gun General John T. Thompson, a graduate of West Point, began his research in 1915 for an automatic weapon to supply the American military. World War I was dragging on and casualties were mounting. Having served in the U.S. Army’s ordnance supplies and logistics, General Thompson understood that greater fi repower was needed to end the war. Thompson was driven to create a lightweight, fully automatic fi rearm that would be effective against the contemporary machine gun. His idea was “a one-man, hand held machine gun. A trench broom!” The fi rst shipment of Thompson prototypes arrived on the dock in New York for shipment to Europe on November 11, 1918 the day that the War ended. In 1919, Thompson directed Auto-Ordnance to modify the gun for nonmilitary use. The gun, classifi ed a “submachine gun” to denote a small, hand-held, fully automatic fi rearm chambered for pistol ammunition, was offi cially named the “Thompson submachine gun” to honor the man most responsible for its creation. With military and police sales low, Auto-Ordnance sold its submachine guns through every legal outlet it could. A Thompson submachine gun could be purchased either by mail order, or from the local hardware or sporting goods store. Trusted Companion for Troops It was, also, in the mid ‘20s that the Thompson submachine gun was adopted for service by an Dillinger’s Choice offi cial military branch of the government. The U.S. Coast Guard issued Thompsons to patrol While Auto-Ordnance was selling the Thompson submachine gun in the open market in the ‘20s, boats along the eastern seaboard.

  • The History of Firearm Magazines and Magazine Prohibitions
    KOPEL 3/17/2015 11:41 AM THE HISTORY OF FIREARM MAGAZINES AND MAGAZINE PROHIBITIONS David B. Kopel* I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the prohibition of firearms magazines has become an important topic of law and policy debate. This article details the history of magazines and of magazine prohibition. The article then applies the historical facts to the methodologies of leading cases that have looked to history to analyze the constitutionality of gun control laws. Because ten rounds is an oft-proposed figure for magazine bans, Part II of the article provides the story of such magazines from the sixteenth century onward. Although some people think that multi- shot guns did not appear until Samuel Colt invented the revolver in the 1830s, multi-shot guns predate Colonel Colt by over two centuries.1 Especially because the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller2 considers whether arms are “in common use” and are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes,”3 the article also pays attention to whether and when particular guns and their magazines achieved mass-market success in the United States. The first time a rifle with more than ten rounds of ammunition did so was in 1866,4 and the first time a * Adjunct Professor of Advanced Constitutional Law, Denver University, Sturm College of Law.

    TWILIGHT 2000 Twilight 2000 is a Role playing game set in a fictional future, one where World war 3 began in the late 1990's and eventually slipped into a nuclear exchange changing society as we know it. The players assume the roles of survivors trying to live through the aftermath of the war. Twilight 2000 was published in the mid 1980's by Game Designers Workshop who unfortunately closed their doors in the early 1990's. The copyright was purchased by Tantalus, Inc but there are no stated plans to revive the game. Despite the lack of any new material from a publisher the game continues to expand through the players on websites such as this. This is my contribution to the game, this site will be in a constant state of change, I plan to add material as I get it finished. This will include new equipment, optional rules, alternate game backgrounds and other material as it accumulates, currently I am working on source material for a World war 2 background, but I also have been completing some optional rules of my own as well as modern equipment.

  • To See Which Assault Rifle Can Best Withstand the Rigors of the Sandbox, the Army Conducted a “Dust Test” Between the M4, SCAR, 416 and XM-8
    By David Crane Photos courtesy U.S. Army olt’s M4 carbine came in dead last in an “Extreme Dust Test” (EDT) con- ducted in the fall of 2007 that pitted the current-issue carbine against the FN’s Mk16 (SCAR-Light), HK’s 416, and HK’s XM8. The impetus for the test, the second dust test con- ducted on the M4 in the same year (2007), was CSen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who believed that more reliable assault rifles and carbines than the M4 existed and should be compared to the M4 before the U.S. Army issued an approxi- mately $375-million sole-source procurement contract to Colt. In April 2007, Sen. Coburn stated in a letter, “I am concerned with the Army’s plans to procure nearly half a million new rifles outside of any competitive process.” So, Coburn asked that the Army hold a “…free and open competition.” Accordingly, the U.S. Army Test and Evalu- ation Center (ATEC) team tested 10 sample guns of each weapon system, 40 guns total, and exposed them all to 25 hours of “dusting.” Dust testing consisted of each rifle getting a heavy dose of lubricant, the muzzle being capped, and the ejection port cover closed. Then, each weapon was exposed to a heavy dust environment in a dust chamber for 30 minutes. After the dust bath, a tester fired 120 rounds through each weapon. Then, back in the dust To see which assault rifle can best withstand the rigors of the sandbox, the Army conducted a “dust test” between the M4, SCAR, 416 and XM-8.
