Ingram Model 6: Like A Thompson Without the Price Tag (Sort Of)
The Ingram Model 6, designed by Gordon Ingram, was an early attempt to create a more affordable alternative to the Thompson submachine gun. Produced by the Police Ordnance Company, it featured a simple blowback operation and a proprietary 30-round magazine. While visually similar to the Thompson, it was lighter and simpler in construction, utilizing cost-saving manufacturing techniques. Its largest sale was to Peru, with limited production in the US.
