Thompson

The Thompson provides a mid-range alternative to other submachine guns while still offering close-range firepower. Its high accuracy and damage allow the user to take targets further away than other SMGs. With the recent QoL update, the Thompson can now take underbarrel attachments, such as the Flashlight and Laser, marginally buffing it in comparison to the other SMGs.
