Description
Thompson Submachine Gun, Model 1921.
Invented by John T. Thompson in 1918, the Tommy Gun became infamous during the Prohibition era, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals.
The Thompson was favored by soldiers, criminals, police and civilians alike for its large .45 ACP cartridge, accuracy, and high volume of automatic fire. It has since gained popularity among civilian collectors for its historical significance.
Probably one of the most iconic guns ever.
