The Thompson submachine gun, commonly known as the "Tommy Gun," is a .45 caliber submachine gun that was developed by John T. Thompson in the early 20th century. It gained fame during Prohibition in the United States for its use by gangsters and law enforcement alike. Characterized by its distinctive wooden stock and high rate of fire, the Thompson was used extensively during World War II and has since become an iconic symbol of American firearms. Its design allows for both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire, making it versatile for various combat situations.
