Yeesh. I thought if it was real that there was a non-zero chance that this thing had ended at least one person's life... the dates could fit. Not sure how long they stayed around after the battle was over in March 1945. My grandfather always said he fought in Iwo Jima, but that's my dad's dad, my mom wouldn't have kept it just because of that.

My dad was given my grandpa's M1 Thompson from the war. Until he gave it away because the FBI has a special fine for unregistered fully-auto Thompsons.
I could only imagine what it was like to shoot it. Dad said he would cut wood with it.
