Using a Rust script with the Thompson
A Rust script (also called a recoil script or no-recoil macro) moves your mouse against the Thompson's spray for you, so your shots stay where you aim. The WipeReady Rust script has a profile tuned to the Thompson's exact spray pattern for every attachment, matched to your sensitivity and FOV.
You decide how much it does: at 100% horizontal and vertical control it holds the Thompson steady, and lower settings hand more of the work back to you. Not sure yet? Feel it first in the free Recoil Range.
