		I feel that most of the WWII fighting was fought in medium to close range so the Thompson's range isn't much of an issue.
		It would be better using it against an enemy at further distances over the Thompson, but it still isn't a sniping rifle.
		If you think the M1 is going to face off against a sniper, you just keep it cool (or try to get him and get killed instead) while I take the time to go back to base and get a Springfield.
