The Thompson submachine gun, aka the "Tommy Gun," was a 1920s icon, spitting .45 ACP rounds at 700 per minute. Designed for WWI trenches, it missed the war but became a Prohibition-era favorite for gangsters like Al Capone. Fun fact: Cops loved it too, leveling the playing field. Talk about a gun with a rap sheet!
