The thompson is a truely nice weapon.... Even if the gansters did get their gruby hands on em in the movies

 

[ViperJeff]

Mobsters used them for real, the movies came later

Mobsters , Gangsters??? Crap they were called Folk Hero's back in the day
If you don't believe me just ask John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Machine Gun Kelly , Ma Barker, Bonnie and Clyde. Oh and I can't leave out Mr. G-Man Melvin Pervis and the All mighty J. Edgar Hoover

You forgot the great TONY MONTANA!!!!... hehe

Actually I would not be surprised is Al Capone's men used them a lot as well.

Ok, it's true Capone's guys used them a lot.... And Tony loved his little friend
The US Military Also adopted them

I bought a Auto Ordnance Thompson with 10 round drum not to long ago. Very Heavy gun but a lot of fun to shoot. Can't Imagine keeping fully auto on target or caring a gun that heavy in the field for miles & miles. Top 10 historical for sure but probably more know to average joes from gangsters & not WWII

 

[Arckadian]

Regardless of where it started and where it went the Thompson is a very well respected weapon for a reason

Saint Valentines day Massacre :shooter: Oh , I forgot they never found out who was involved :Frustrated:

WWII used them everywhere ....

Very beautiful weapons. I've always wanted a model 1928 with the pistol foregrip instead of the normal foregrip.
