I have the Marlin Camp carbine in .45. I picked it because it uses the same magazine as the 1911. (If your going to have interchangeable ammo you might as well use the same mags.) Also I don't own any 9mms since I'm trying to stick to as few different calibers as possible.
CSM Galen "Pappy" Kittleson in the book "Raider: The True Story of the Legendary Soldier Who Performed More POW Raids than Any Other American in History" said he preferred the Thompson for use in the jungle.
I'm not sure of .45 ACP ballistics out of a 16 inch barrel. I'm in the middle of a move or I'd chrono a few different rounds.
