thompson is perhaps the luckiest and easiest gun to use in the game. with the thompson you can do close range, mid range, and you can snipe with it too. It gets rediculous at times. So in my opinion thompson is a far better gun.
My recommendation of an alteration to the gun? thats easy. I wish steam would nerf the stupid gun to be on the same level as the mp40. They need to reduce range to where you cant snipe with it, and they need to reduce accuracy according to range.
