The thompson uses the ver.6 mechbox though, as far as I know the strongest mechbox design there is. The most popular mechbox design is still by and far the ver.2 which is fundamentally flawed but because its in the M4/16 series and MP5 series everyone uses em. So really the advancements between the ver.6 in the thompson and the ver.7 in the M14 are very few. Heck the P90 has the most efficient hopup design ever made and its a ver.6 too.

As for the thompson vs. M14 thing...you rarely see a thompson at any game, you see lots of M14's around, its for a reason. I am dying to get my M14 up and running so I can start using it (wiring problem, motor heats up like crazy when the battery is plugged in even when not firing) but its on a waiting list with the local gun doc
