	THE THOMPSON SUB-MACHINE GUN
		From the writer's personal experience in firing Thompson guns with and without the Compensator, the device is a great help, both in full automatic fire, and in rapid single fire from the shoulder-it would certainly be advisable to include it as standard, rather than optional, equipment on each arm.
		However, Thompson engineers state that the action is built sufficiently strong, to resist the slam of the bolt even though the locking surfaces were removed entirely.
		Should any police departments have a Thompson gun in which the lock has been "altered" or "smoothed up" by some over-energetic gunner or repairman, it would be wise to replace this lock with a new one.
