Call of Duty: World at War Thompson (Tommy Gun) guide. Learn its strengths as a close-range SMG and how to use it for suppressing fire.

The Thompson (Tommy Gun) is an American SMG (submachine gun) in Call of Duty: World at War. It excels in close-range combat scenarios, making it ideal for levels like Carentan or for missions requiring you to charge in, such as document retrieval.

While many consider it a poor long-range weapon, it can be effective at distance if fired in short bursts. However, the best strategy for long-range engagements is to disengage and close the distance or retreat.

Tips
  • Use the Thompson for its effectiveness in close-quarters combat.
  • Consider using it for suppressing fire to control enemy movement.
  • If forced into a long-range fight, fire in short, controlled bursts.
  • Prioritize getting closer to your objective or retreating from long-range threats.
