Got a sound file of it? ;-)

I'm having it rechambered at the moment from 9mm PAK to 9mm
Para so I can use the DAG 9mm blanks the police use. The
PAK blanks are too dirty and the thing seizes solid after one
mag.
The sound it makes when fired sounds like the pulse rifles
in "Aliens", likely because those were blank-firing Thompsons,
no doubt with lightened springs and/or bolts to accomodate
the blanks.
You have to be careful with these things, I get a mouthful
of brass when I fire it!
Steve.
