Videos from Evike.com on their coverage of the SHOT Show 2016 are just starting to come out and they have a video on the KWA M1A1 Thompson Gas Blowback.

A timeless gun's airsoft version gets reviewed by Mach Sakai. The Tokyo Marui M1A1 Thompson, a favourite of collectors and reenactors is the AEG that gets the scrutiny of the champion shooter. He finds there is better balancer and  better maneuverability though there is some rattle so it's not as stiff as you would imagine. For a gun that's based on a World War II weapon, it's still a very much skirmishable and he recommends it for reenactments and World War II Cosplay.

Latest period airsoft gun review from Neo035 covers the King Arms/Cybergun Thompson AEG. This an affordable Thompson replica for reenactors and collectors can collect. This has a faux wood stock handguard and motor grip. The receiver is metal and has the safety selector switches that are found in the M1A1 as made by Auto Ordnance.

Reenactors and collectors might be throwing their money at their computer screens watching this, screaming "take my money!" We might want one of these as we would love a blowback Thompson whether it's electric or gas, as long as there's recoil.
