Trivia

Trivia[]

Midas' Drum Gun resembles the M1 Thompson Submachine Gun.^[1]
- Despite this the model itself still has aspects of the M1928 Thompson merged with the M1 Thompson such as the rear iron sight, finned barrel, and flash compensator. All of which are either reworked or removed entirely on the real life M1 Model Thompson.
