Having fired a Thompson with it's freedom mode intact, I can safely say that they are absolutely wonderful firearms, which is why it's on the same level as the MP5 in my opinion. Having control over your spread is more important to me than fire rate or overall weight.
 
Having owned a Thompson, Sterling and uzi in South Africa, my vote goes for the sterling, comes to the shoulder easier, and shoots accurately and generally handles better that the other two. That said, the Thompson is a classic too.
 
Having shot several of these guns in full auto at ranges in the US, my vote goes to other. Other being the PPsH. That was the flattest shooting SMG I'd ever shot. Other than the occasional jam with the mags, it was an absolute pleasure to shoot.
 
I voted before I read the thread. Glad the MP5 was added as it's what immediately comes to my mind when someone says SMG.
 
Try American 180 22.. why are all fa's being offered deactivated before being offered as live?..
 
Thompson all the way. Such a fun gun to shoot and a really cool piece of history! I wish I could have taken the one in Vegas home with me!
 
Gotta love the tommy gun! Hey wolverine, any chance on bringing in the khar arms tommy guns in? I was looking at the specs on them and they should pass all our bs laws and conditions ( they have new manufactured recievers and are designed to be semi auto only)
Would love a ppsh 41 too!
 
I would vote for the Sterling at 2.7 kilograms ( 6.0 pounds ). ( http://modernfirearms.net/smg/brit/sterling-l2-l34-e.html )

The M1A1 shown is a Thompson look alike, the Thompson mechanism is entirely different and at 5 kilograms ( 11.0 pounds ), both are heavy. ( http://www.koreanwaronline.com/arms/thompson.htm )

There is a big difference form handling and firing a gun at the bench and lugging it and its ammunition around all day.

For WW2 I always liked the PPS 43. ( http://modernfirearms.net/smg/rus/ppp-43-e.html )

The M1A1 Thompson shown is an original, this was simply a development from the earlier 1928 model. The M1A a simplified version, designed to speed up production and lower costs during WW II. The M1A1 had a fixed butt stock, plain barrel, stamped rear sight, simplified bolt with no "blish lock", no cuts compensator, no checkered selector and safety and not machined to accept a drum, normally parkerised,
