Cybergun/WE Thompson M1A1 Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle (Wood Finish)

The Cybergun/WE Thompson M1A1 GBB Rifle isn’t just another replica — it’s a living, breathing tribute to one of WWII’s most iconic submachine guns. Fully licensed by Cybergun and brought to life by WE-Tech, this is the first gas blowback Thompson on the airsoft market. It delivers everything you’d expect from a GBBR: raw recoil, steel-on-steel action, and a satisfying mechanical clatter with every trigger pull. If you're after battlefield immersion and historical authenticity, this one’s for you.

Visually, it hits all the right notes. The full-metal receiver and barrel assembly give it that cold, solid heft in the hands. While the furniture is polymer rather than real wood, the grain pattern and reddish finish are convincing — enough to fool all but the closest inspection. From the charging handle to the classic rear peep sight, every line and curve screams M1A1 Thompson, and the iconic “Chicago Typewriter” silhouette is unmistakable whether you’re storming trenches or staging for a reenactment.

Functionally, it’s a joy to shoot. The open bolt blowback system isn’t just for show — it gives every shot a metallic snap and real recoil that kicks into your shoulder with surprising force. It’s loud, punchy, and thoroughly satisfying. Unlike an AEG, which simply buzzes through bursts, this GBBR makes every trigger pull feel like an event. FPS clocks in at around 330 with 0.20g BBs, making it skirmish-legal while still packing enough punch for close to mid-range engagements.

The rifle operates in Safe, Semi, and Full-Auto modes via a selector switch on the side. Reloads are performed with period-accurate 30 or 50-round magazines — no high-cap wheel winding here, just pure realism. It comes with a 50-round low-cap magazine out of the box, and spares are readily available for those wanting to build a proper loadout. The hop-up is accessible inside the breach and can be adjusted for heavier BBs, allowing you to fine-tune performance for your field or role.

Like all gas rifles, it has its quirks. It’s not fond of cold weather, and it demands more maintenance than your average electric rifle. But what it offers in return is character — mechanical, physical, and tactile. It’s a rifle you feel, not just fire. Every bolt slam, mag reload, and recoil thump adds to the immersion. If you're a WWII loadout purist, a reenactor, or just someone who values realism over convenience, this Thompson absolutely delivers.

Whether you’re running an Allied impression, playing themed milsim events, or just want something that makes a scene whenever it’s fired, the Cybergun/WE M1A1 stands alone. It’s loud, heavy, historical — and completely unique in a world of polymer M4s. And remember, if you see it listed cheaper elsewhere, let us know — we’ll beat that price every time.
