Cybergun/WE Thompson M1A1 GBB Airsoft Rifle in Wood Finish

Cybergun/WE Thompson M1A1 GBB Airsoft Rifle in Wood Finish

The Cybergun/WE Thompson M1A1 GBBR isn’t just an airsoft gun — it’s a battlefield legend brought to life. This is the first gas blowback version of the iconic WWII Thompson submachine gun, and it absolutely delivers on both looks and performance. Licensed by Cybergun and built by WE-Tech, this M1A1 replica is designed for players who want more than just another skirmish tool — they want character, history, and recoil you can feel in your bones.

From the moment you shoulder it, the weight tells you everything. Full-metal receiver, steel internals, and a convincing faux wood finish on the stock, handguard, and pistol grip — this GBB rifle feels like the real deal. The reddish grain and era-correct proportions capture that unmistakable Thompson silhouette, and every control — from the bolt handle to the fire selector — is functional, tactile, and satisfying to operate.

Fire it, and it gets even better. The open-bolt gas blowback system cycles hard with every shot, delivering proper recoil that rattles through the rifle and into your shoulder. This isn’t a toy that just spits BBs — it kicks, clatters, and brings the drama. Whether you're lobbing semi-auto shots downrange or ripping bursts on full-auto, every trigger pull feels impactful. Expect around 330 FPS out of the box with 0.20g BBs — perfect for most UK skirmish sites.

The adjustable hop-up is housed inside the breach, so it's protected and easy to access with the bolt locked back. You won’t be sniping with this, but for room-clearing, ambushing, and aggressive mid-range play, it holds its own. The 350mm 6.03mm inner barrel gives it decent range and accuracy for a GBBR, and with the right BBs, you’ll get a tight grouping out to 30–40m without fuss.

This Thompson comes with a 50-round low-cap magazine (gas), with compatibility for 30-round mags if you want to replicate the earlier war variants. Reloads are authentic, and the mag release is classic — firm, deliberate, and suited to period-correct loadouts. Fire modes include Safe, Semi, and Full-Auto, so whether you’re recreating a WWII firefight or storming a CQB site with Allied swagger, you’ve got the right tools.

Make no mistake — this is not a casual player’s primary. Gas blowbacks require care, good gas, and a bit of mechanical sympathy. Cold weather can reduce efficiency, and reloading takes longer than on your average hi-cap AEG. But for players who live for the realism and want something that looks, feels, and fires like a proper historical weapon, this Thompson is hard to beat. It’s a standout piece for WWII reenactors, milsim roleplayers, or collectors looking for something skirmish-ready and full of soul.
