The Thompson submachine gun (also known as the "Tommy gun", "Chicago typewriter", "Chicago piano", "trench sweeper", or "trench broom")

Is a blowback-operated, selective-fire submachine gun, invented & developed by US Army Brigadier General John T. Thompson in 1918

It was designed to break the stalemate of trench warfare of WWI, although early models did not arrive in time for actual combat

The Thompson saw early use by the US Marine Corps during the Banana Wars, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Irish Republican Army, the Republic of China, & the FBI following the Kansas City Massacre

The weapon was also sold to the general public

Because it was so widely used by criminals, the Thompson became notorious during the Prohibition era as the signature weapon of various organized crime syndicates in the USA in the 1920s

It was a common sight in the media at the time, & was used by both law enforcement officers & criminals

The Thompson was widely adopted by the U.S. armed forces during WW2, & was also used extensively by other Allied troops during the war

Its main models were designated as the M1928A1, M1 & M1A1 during this time

More than 1.5 million Thompson submachine guns were produced during WW2

It is the first weapon to be labelled and marketed as a "submachine gun"
