The drum magazines on the Thompson was fairly rare, same with the 16" bayonet. Most were cut down to 10" during WW2.

Ya, I found your comments interesting, and informative
Those were very interesting pictures, it really captured what had happened. I liked the set from Pearl Harbor (well not like, liked it. You know what i mean.....)ha. But it was crazy like seeing the picture of the civilian car just taken out and the battleship crashing down. Very provoking
We shall meet in glorious battle
the picture numbered 22 also has a thompson with a drum magazine.
