Many, many years ago, (50 or so) a Thompson from the fantail of my destroyer when I was in the Navy.

BAR (great for what it was designed for. Bonnie Parker liked it.)
various US Army Browning 30 cal air-cooled machine guns. (great for troops)
M14 (marvelous gun, too bad they were replaced by the M16)
Thompson 45 SMG (too large and too heavy for most applications)
M3 Grease Gun (a piece of junk that should never have been issued to US troops)
Swedish K (loved it, accurate, little felt recoil, and very dependable)
Uzi (fine as a concealable SMG, but not quite as accurate as the K at distance)
Russian PPSH (better than the US M-3, but that's not saying much.
AK 47 and AK50 or AKM (kinda liked the folding stock version)
Which were the best? The Swedish K was the most comfortable, while the Uzi was most concealable and thus the most useable.
My choice now - definitely H&K MP5, with silencer.

.50 cal. M2 fun to shoot, PITA to clean.
.30 cal. M1919 fun to shoot, reliable but heavy.
7.62 M60 fun to shoot, not as reliable as M1919 but lighter.
5.56 M16 fun to shoot, reliable (if kept reasonably clean) light, easy to clean, whats not to like?
.45 cal. M3/M3A1 (grease gun) heavy & awkward, reliable, accurate (at pistol ranges) but fires so slow it's not much fun to shoot, easy to disassemble for cleaning, but not so easy to reassemble. (trigger group) did I mention heavy?
All enjoyed courtesy of "Uncle Sam".

Just a Thompson once upon a time, fired two 30-rd. mags through it. Fun!

My favorite was the Thompson 1928. It was suprising how accurate it was. We were hitting targets out to 700 yards using the flip up sight. Fired one round, set it down, picked up the binoculars and watch the round hit a gong. It was possible to put most of a 3-5 rd. burst on the gong at the same yardage but not to see it with the binoculars.
