Umarex Legends Thompson M1A1: Iconic Historical Shooting at Top Airguns

The Umarex Legends Thompson M1A1 brings a legendary piece of 20th-century history to life in your hands. This faithful CO2-powered replica, available at Top Airguns, offers collectors and shooters the thrill of handling the iconic “Tommy Gun” with the safety and affordability of BB shooting. Our review covers its authentic feel, performance with the drum magazine, and popular upgrades like the wood stock.

Authentic Design and Handling
Umarex meticulously recreated the look, weight, and handling of the original M1A1 Thompson. The full-metal construction and realistic heft provide an immersive experience that plastic replicas cannot match. It functions as a semi-automatic BB gun, firing from a closed bolt for a satisfyingly authentic action cycle. The classic vertical foregrip, top-mounted charging handle, and adjustable sights complete the legendary profile.

A standout feature is the optional Umarex Legends M1A1 Drum Magazine. This high-capacity rotary magazine authentically replicates the iconic 50-round “drum” and significantly enhances the fun factor during shooting sessions.

Performance and Shooting Experience
Powered by standard 12g CO2 cartridges housed in the magazine, the Thompson delivers a satisfying shooting experience. Its smooth semi-automatic action is perfect for controlled plinking and target shooting. While its effective range is typical for a smoothbore BB gun (optimal within 10-15 metres), the true appeal lies in the immersive historical experience it provides.

For owners looking to personalise their piece, the Umarex M1A1 wood stock upgrade is a highly sought-after accessory. Replacing the standard synthetic stock with a classic wood stock elevates the replica’s authenticity and aesthetic to collector-grade levels, making it a centrepiece of any collection.
