Only a modified muzzle can accept a suppressor, it was tried by the US Army and OSS in WWII Europe, and determined to be much less effective than the silenced M-3 "Grease Gun" or the silenced M-1 carbine, it was much too loud, and jammed far too much, the Project was canceled after only 6 weeks of development.

The Thompson as a suppressed weapon never became a reality, and never saw combat.
