Timeless Design
The Ares Thompson faithfully recreates the look and feel of the original M1921. From its iconic top-mounted charging handle to its carefully designed barrel and authentic vertical foregrip, every detail pays homage to the legendary submachine gun. The stock, grip, and handguard are crafted from real hard walnut wood, adding not only to the realism but also to the premium feel of this replica.
Electric Blowback for Enhanced Realism
What sets the Ares Thompson apart from standard AEGs is its Electric Blowback System (EBB). With every trigger pull, the EBB simulates bolt action, creating a more immersive and satisfying shooting experience.
Reliable AEG Internals
Internally, the Ares Thompson is powered by a robust AEG gearbox known for its consistency and reliability. It delivers solid performance straight out of the box, making it skirmish-ready for mid-range engagements.
Authentic Exterior with Classic Styling
The Ares Thompson features full metal construction paired with beautifully finished faux wood furniture, giving it a truly realistic appearance. From the distinctive vertical foregrip to the drum-style magazine, every external detail reflects the original firearm’s legendary design.
Versatile Firing and Easy Customization
The Ares Thompson supports semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes, just like the original. An adjustable hop-up system is accessible from the outside, allowing quick and easy tuning for range and accuracy. The thumb-operated magazine release mimics the real steel design, contributing to the overall realism of this platform.
Innovative Stock and Battery System
Designed with practicality in mind, the solid walnut stock is removable, making transport and storage hassle-free. A special contact system transfers power from the stock to the body without exposed wiring, while the battery compartment is cleverly integrated into the magazine. The snap-open battery door locks securely in place during use, ensuring reliable performance on the field.
