Server Suggestion Thompson Submachine Gun

[MalekIsWeird]

Suggestion Title: Thompson Submachine Gun
Suggestion Description: The weapon is a unique gun that can take a couple magazines made for it:

“stick” magazines - 20 round magazines

XL Drum - 39 round magazines


The weapon can be fired in 45. ACP. The gun would have considerable recoil to make it difficult to reach long range shots with a full spray and more befitting of suppressive fire and Close-Quarters Battle. It won’t be capable of any suppressors or muzzle attachments to emphasize it’s intended purpose and ensure balancing.

Why should this be added?:
- Unique to all other submachine guns as it holds 10 extra rounds
- Balanced by the fact it won’t reach long range with a full spray
- Allows mafia style organizations to have a gun stylish to their theme
- Opens a door for more roleplay
- Accurate depiction of the real life explanation of the gun, including magazines and name of said magazines.

What negatives could this have?:
- some will consider the drum too op
- some will consider the gun unpopular and thus not worth adding.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Adding a fun weapon that many organizations have wanted to roleplay with as they favor the mafia style theme of crime.

I feel like any form of .45ACP Submachine gun with a capacity that exceeds the UMP would just shift the meta from a UMP to that. Having something drum magazine compatible in .45ACP would be hard to balance, as it would either be complete shit nobody uses due to its terrible stats in other regards or if it was remotely user friendly, it would become the new meta.

I wouldn’t particularly mind and it’d be cool to have, but there’s better firearms out there we could add.

The way I explained it specifies that while it can that +10 rounds on the UMP, it still is no where near as accurate as the UMP because of the recoil making it hard.

It's proven already that statistically meta guns aren't always what is preferred or used most, simply look at the M4A1 for example compared to the Scar-L.
