so in practice it's simple blowback just with a 2 pound hunk of machined bronze in it causing it to cost twice as much

    "Anular delay" is also nonsense. The principle is that by cutting a larger diameter at the front of the chamber, fired brass would expand into it causing the brass to keep the chamber sealed until pressure lowers to a safe level whereby the brass will be compressed by the smaller, normal diameter rear section of the chamber and be extracted by the remaining pressure and extractor. The Detonics Pocket 9 here supposedly uses this mechanism. It stings like a heckin son of a gun because the anus doesn't work, it just functions like a blowback in 9mm instead of .380.

    I'm also reminded of the MAB P15/PA15 which has a rotating barrel that supposedly locks the action but actually doesn't because it starts un-rotating immediately with no dwell time like a true rotating barrel locked breech such as the Beretta PX4 or Boberg XR9. The MAB consequently is also extremely brisk recoiling and feels like a direct blowback 9mm, despite the very heavy all-steel construction.

      It strikes me that it's going to be taking some of the edge off straight blowback, but the amount is going to be very dependent on the specific ammo you're using. The sort of thing that might work okay for a military, but a utter shitshow on the Johnny moron market.
      Unless of course the ring is literally right at the front of the chamber, in which case the brass has probably fricking moved past it by the time it's expanded.

        It's hard to get a pic in there but the sphincter is at the very forward edge of the case, like the first 1-2mm. I can't imagine it doing anything in that spot at least, the bullet is seated much farther than that into the brass. It wouldn't experience any pressure at all until the bullet fully leaves the case.

        Burt, does the annular delay cause a ring-shaped bulge in the ejected brass? If it does, it therefore must be absorbing some energy, no?

        Shoot it's been a long time since I shot that thing and I may not even have looked at the brass if I didn't know about the chamber gimmick before hand. I dunno, but the memory of hand sting is strong lol

          the case ballons against the chamber wall under pressure. unless there is a perfect fit, which there isn't, the case will form a lip. I'm pretty sure the force needed to swage the lip back is negligible though.

            The problem is it's started moving slightly backwards before the pressure's even peaked. There's nothing holding it closed but a spring.

          Google patent number 4539771, they had an idea to make a sort of self-correcting locking latch. Kinda neat idea, and given the weight of that thing I think it probably really would have held up to factory .44 and even some spicy .357. However, reloaded .44 beyond SAAMI spec, probably not, especially over a lifetime. I certainly would have liked to have seen it, the idea for caliber conversion is neato.

    Explain to me why the blish lock doesn’t make the thompson roller delayed. Yeah the friction thing is bullshit but it still has to push the lock aside before the action can open. isn’t this mechanically very similar to the roller delays that give the MP5 such a good reputation?

        No, but it has a wedge that has to move to the side before the bolt can move back, thus delaying blowback

      Roller delayed bolt is not friction bolt. Its inertia bolt like straight blow back. Only it uses mechanical link via rollers to accelerate bolt so it may reduce bolt weight. because bolt impulse = M*V

      The blish lock actually slowed down the rate of fire on the M1928's compared tot he later M1/M1A1's - which had a simplified and heavier bolt (which usually results in a lower ROF)

      Testing would had been as simple as making the lock out of the same material. Luckily for him he got the first-mover advantage into the American submachine gun market so that fact that he was making shit up and couldn't be bothered to do a basic sanity check didn't hurt him much. He likely came up with the geometry of his lock by randomly adjusting dimensions until it worked too. It could even had been a marketing stunt, in that he knew it didn't do anything, but pretended it did regardless.

    It wasn't simple blowback, it was angular delayed blowback.
    The H bar acted on two cuts in the receiver to delay the opening of the action until the lugs cleared the angular cut cam track.

    I wouldn't call blish lock simple blowback, it did have a delaying factor and this was proven by the M1's (simple blowbacks) had a much higher firerate than the M1928 or other earlier variants of the thompson which had the blish lock.
    It was delayed but just not how blish thought it would.

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Pre-Blish 1919 Thompson was ~1200rpm
      range was from 1100-1500rpm

      Blish 1921 Thompson -800rpm

      Blish M1928 ~700-800rpm
      The 1928 series will introduce a new/heavier duty actuator than the 1921....eventually - early 1928's were 1921 overstamps with very minor changes

      Blish M1928 Navy - 600rpm
      It's important to note here that they achieved this ROF with the new actuator design and specifically with a much heavier recoil spring

      Blish 1928A1 ~700rpm
      Most produced variant of the Thompson

      Non-Blish guns - straight blowback
      The M1 and M1A1 had vastly simplified bolts, that were heavier than all earlier variants. Both variants utilized a heavier spring set which on paper was supposed to mimic the 1928 Navy and achieve 600rpm

      Post-Blish M1 Thompson - 600-700rpm
      3rd most produced Thompson variant
      Simplified bolt with free float firing pin
      Due to the heavier spring wearing out the M1's rate of fire could jump to ~850rpm approaching 900

      Non Blish M1A1 - 600-700rpm 2nd most produced thompson
      The final thompson did away with the free floating firing pin for a fixed one and had a simplified hammer, largely resolving the ROF jump with the M1.

      To concur:
      The blish is responsible for lowering the rate of fire and provides some level of moronation to the 1921, 1928, and 1928A1's with their light bolt design.
      Note how the principle difference between the 1919 Thompson pushing over ~1200rpm vs the 1921's 800rpm is the presence of the Blish lock in the latter.

      The Blish lock allowed for a lighter operating mass. The M1928A1 is only nominally heavier than the M1A1 yet the M1928A1 has:
      >Vastly more complex and heavier folding adjustable sight
      >Barrel cooling fins which add mass to the barrel
      >A big ass cutts compensator
      >Foregrip handguard
      >Drum magazine

      The feature rich M1928A1 is only 8oz heavier than the simplified (in both reciever and bolt) M1A1 which has none of those features, and arguably has a pure fricking dogshit sight that makes the Greasegun blush.
