Kind of interesting. I have in my travels had the pleasure of handling some other real rarities, including a Savage Tommy gun in 9mm, an aluminum framed Tommy gun, and seeing (not handling) the rare 1923 Thompson in 45 Remington-Thompson (the last one is in a museum in Beijing, of all places).

Interesting gun but the fact it weighs more than even a Garand rendered it no more than a novelty. Like Ian said
"Gee, thanks but no thanks".

Depending on use weight may not have been a bad thing. I'd imagine it would be like shooting a 22 rifle. Might not have been such a bad thing for personnel that weren't constantly on the move.
In .30 carbine I'd much, much ,much rather tote around an M1 carbine even at the expense of full auto fire. But it was never intended as a serious submission, just as a proof of concept thing, and for that it is very interesting.
