 Thompson M1A1 Sub-Machine Gun Gel Blaster infamously called ’The Typewriter’ due to the sound of metallic chattering whilst firing.

This JinMing Thompson gel blaster is an authentic looking & affordable blaster perfect for Collectors & great for new players or for playing with friends in the backyard or on a Gelsoft field.

We love gel blasters that are a bit different. This is not only a great blaster for a collector, but a great fun as well. It’s finally here and ready to go.

With that said the Thompson submachine gun (Tommy Gun) was one of the most iconic guns of all time.

The Thompson submachine gun is an American submachine gun first invented by John T. Thompson in 1918 during World War I and became infamous during the Prohibition era, being a signature weapon of various organized crime syndicates in the United States. It was a common sight in the media of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals.  The Thompson submachine gun was also known informally as the “Tommy Gun”, “Street Sweeper”, “Annihilator”, “Chicago Typewriter”, “Trench Broom”, “Chicago Submachine”, “Chicago Piano”, “Chicago Style”, “Chicago Organ Grinder”, “Drum Gun”, “the Chopper”, “the Tommy Boy” or simply “the Thompson”.

The Thompson was favored by soldiers, criminals, police, the FBI, and civilians alike for its fully automatic fire, while still being relatively lightweight, portable and easy to use. It has since gained popularity among civilian collectors for its historical significance. It has considerable significance in popular culture, especially in works about the Prohibition era and World War II, and is one of the most well known and recognized firearms in history. The original fully automatic Thompsons are no longer produced, but numerous semi-automatic civilian versions are still being manufactured by Auto-Ordnance. These retain a similar appearance to the original models, but they have various modifications in order to comply with modern firearm laws.
