The Thompson (in it's many different models) has been used world wide since it's design to the present day. It has been used by American military personnel in virtually every conflict the United States has been involved in from around 1927, up to and including the Korean War. And, though the Thompson was considered obsolete after the Korean War, it was used during the Vietnam War, and can still be found in the armory's of special forces organizations. Aside that history, it has been used as captured weapons from each of the belligerent forces the US was engaged with, and has been found in the hands of rebel and terrorist organizations throughout the globe.
