Original Information: The Thompson is an American submachine gun, invented by John T. Thompson in 1919, that became infamous during the Prohibition era. It was a common sight in the media of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals. The Thompson was also known informally as: the "Tommy Gun", "Trench Broom", "Trench Sweeper", "Chicago Typewriter", "Chicago Piano", "Chicago Style", and "The Chopper".

The Thompson was favored by soldiers, criminals, police and civilians alike for its ergonomics, compactness, large .45 ACP cartridge, reliability, and high volume of automatic fire. It has since gained popularity among civilian collectors for its historical significance.

The Thompson first entered production as the M1921. It was available to civilians, though its high price resulted in few sales. In 1938, the Thompson submachine gun was adopted by the U.S. military, serving during World War II and beyond.

Because of their quality and craftsmanship, as well as their gangster-era and WWII connections, Thompsons are sought as collector's items.
