Country of origin: United States
Date of production: 1928
Manufacturer: Auto-ordnance company
Weight: 10.14 pounds
Length: 850 mm
Cartridge: .45 ACP
Capacity: 30, 50, or 100 rounds
Rate of fire: 750 rounds per minute
Muzzle velocity: 280 meters per second

Known by many names such as the Trench Broom, Trench Sweeper, Chicago Typewriter, Chicago Piano, Chopper, and most famously the Tommy gun.
It’s famous for its infamous history of being used in organized crime by criminal organizations during the 1920s and 30s by most notably the Mafia. During the time this was some serious firepower, there we’re even 100 round drum mags available for it and the funny thing was if you were a citizen during the 1920s you could easily buy a machine gun no problem, but alcohol was illegal.

Yours is a remake (If its a class three prior to 1986 ) cause original M-28s commant a much higher value since very few survive in original condition and look differently.
Last M1a I saw that was a class three was like 10 years ago and selling for $9000, also came with a dozen 30 round magazines. It was made in 45 and didn't go overseas but stayed in the states. Later transferred to a police department in the 50s.

That much I knew, a truly original M1928 would be just under 100 years old! But I don’t care too much about authenticity, so long as it looks and functions the same way. Makes me feel gangster man. XD
That’s definitely neato but It’s infuriating knowing how cheap it is to produce some of these things and because they’re capable of automatic fire they get ramped up something like 5000% in price.
