I believe you Oswald. 
The anti-tank gun doesn't look like it would fire anything big enough to take a tank out.
But,what do I know.

That's a good price on those French guns. They've never been fired and only dropped twice.

The left and liberals would have a stroke and fall into a coma if this had come out today.

Oswald was a Patsy. The obvious clubs is that the term "6-round Clip" was used in the ad? No way that happens.
Side note. What made a Thompson a SUBmachine gun? Never hear this term really, except when referring to a Thompson.

Is it bad that I want that toy bazooka more than any of the other guns listed?

Some of the rare gauge/ configurations old American side-by-side shotguns. High grade Parkers, Lefevers, Foxes in sub gauges and long barrels...

tidal, I thought so too. I wonder how powerful it really is.
If 20x105mm is comparable to 20mm Vulcan then it's about 3x what a .50 BMG offers.

So what has changed with the average American since post WWII to now that the government no longer sees fit to allow us to own anti tank weapons without the need for all of the requisite hoop jumping?
NOTHING.
The government has changed, and it is all about controlling the masses.
Those left leaning pukes that say you don't NEED ______ need to go frick themselves and gander at the freedoms that we once had and now have been stripped from us.

Sub machine gun is just a full auto rifle/carbine that shoots a pistol caliber round. Thompson is a .45 ACP which was originally a pistol round. Lots of submachine guns. MP5, Uzi, Mac 10, etc.

The Tommy gun fires a pistol round, not a rifle round. Thus it is a submachine gun

Can you imagine the SJW meltdown that would happen if that was recreated today?

That's a cool ad.
Probably worth over 1000x initial investment if bought back then

Well, setting the ATF's stupid definition aside, you have 6 or 7 "broad" categories of automatic small arms.
Heavy machinegun
Medium/GP machinegun
Light machinegun
(Machineguns tended to be differentiated by weight - a heavy machinegun could have a larger crew, even, as the component parts were heavy, as was the ammunition - by WWII, the aircooled medium or general purpose machinegun became the standard)
Automatic rifle/Squad automatic weapon
"Assualt rifle" (a weapon suitable for a rifleman, but with select fire capabilities)
Submachinegun (sometimes considered with and sometimes separate from machine pistols)
Now, all of the above are chambered in a rifle round. A submachinegun in almost all cases is chambered in either a pistol round, or some purpose-built/designed intermediate round. The Thompson submachinegun, for example, was famously chambered in .45 ACP for most models. The MP5 line of weapons is primarily chambered in 9mm parabellum. The machine pistol is, obviously, more of a compact weapon than a submachinegun, but with essentially the same function. These are urban or trench warfare weapons to provide suppressive fire at close range. The Germans loved them in WWII. Hitler thought rifles made the infantry too passive.
So, that's your difference.
