The Thompson M1A1 is a .45 submachinegun, first introduced in Jagged Alliance 2. It is a powerful firearm, which does good damage due to its ammunition, but with a higher AP requirement per shot.

Official description

"As the successor to the Tommy gun, this weapon became very popular on the streets of prohibition-Chicago and the beaches of Normandy."

Pros: Reliable

Cons: Heavy, Hard to Repair

Attachments

• Laser Scope
• Gun Barrel Extender
• Silencer

Locations

• Ice Williams and Dr. Clifford "Cliff" Highball have such weapon as their optional gear in Jagged Alliance 2. Both mercs carry one gun this type with two standard .45 SMG magazines.
• Area D11 - at least one Thompson M1A1 rests on a box inside a smaller building.
• Random sectors/enemies. The weapon can be more commonly pick-pocketed from a living enemy than looted from a dead one.
• It can spawn in the SAM Site near Drassen.

Tips & Tricks

• The Thompson can be fed both from 0.45 pistol magazines and 0.45 SMG magazines, which come in AP and regular variety.
• The gun is best used in burst mode from close distance.
• The M1A1's main drawback is its high Action Points cost to fire. For those, who wish to use the weapon, it can be overcome with Spring & Bolt Upgrade, which will improve the weapon's rate of fire.
• Just like most of submachineguns, Thompson loses on usefulness, when assault rifles become available in better numbers. Those SMGs are best sold to Tony in San Mona.
