    Actually the Thompson was a great sniper rifle, out to 15 feet! Only surpassed by the Model 97 Winchester 12 gauge pump shot gun.
    Sorry guy's I couldn't resist!

    Perhaps if you were to use a 1.5 scope perhaps you could work it if your enemy didnt have a gun but the recoil would likely throw off even your first shot.
