Best Answer

The Thompson sub-machine gun invented in 1919 was called the Chicago typewriter, not the Chicago piano. That name was given by the US Navy to the ship mounted 20 mm antiaircraft gun which was usually mounted in a Quad assembly for air defense. The weight of this weapon would have made it quite impractical for use by Gangsters.
