Thompson

The M1 Thompson is a .45 ACP-firing submachine gun used by the United States throughout World War II.

Strategy

Single Player

In SP, the Thompson is first obtained at the start of mission 2. Then you can obtain it from a supply drop in mission 3. After that, it appears with you at the start of a new mission.

The Thompson does slightly more damage than the MP40 (8 vs 6). It also has good accuracy even in full-auto, which makes it great for killing the regular Nazi troops (with the exception of the Black Guard). However, there is rarely any additional ammo for it throughout the levels, so don't expect to find any more when you run out.

It is ineffective against X-Creatures, so don't even bother trying to use it on them. Keep it for the regular troops.

Multiplayer

In MP, the Thompson is the American's standard SMG. It has good accuracy.
