Dieselpunks

Dieselpunk + Steampunk Culture

This is a pretty cool concept. Some gun afficionados who are also lovers of the diesel era started a club where they dress in period clothing and fire period guns. (Not at each other, of course, but they do compete against each other.) The site is very retro as well. Looks like they only have a few "clubs" so far but something like this could catch on!

Fun! There used to be a once-a-month meeting at the local shooting range near my house where they fired historic weapons.

Let me tell you, even without the drum magazine, Thompson machine guns are damn hard to control if you try to go full auto. You're better off aiming the barrel ahead of your forward facing foot and letting the gun climb to it's target. Otherwise, you're just shooting the clouds.
I would expect you might want to turn it 90 degrees and fire it "gangsta" style? Then you'd spray in an arc across your target, am I right? (I got no clue, never fired one before...)

Hey, this is something that could really catch on I bet here in Texas.
One of my favorite guns of the "gangsta stile" is the Lepage .45 cal
my kingdom for a zip gun that wouldn't kill me if I fired it :)
It's times like this that I really really wish, as a fan of firearms, that Canada didn't have such strict gun laws and next to no gun clubs D:
Off topic: I really like your Image Pablo.

I find this image, and feel like mine, but the mirror don't think the same.
The other gun I like Is the Astra 400. When I had licence in my country I use the .380.Superauto like 9mm long and don´t have problem.
