The Thompson SMG (or "Tommy Gun") is an American submachine gun designed in World War I by General John T. Thompson and made (in)famous in the prohibition era. Due to its high capacity "drum" magazine, which allowed a single shooter to clear a room fairly quickly, it was popular with law enforcement and mobsters alike. The Thompson achieved most of its early notoriety in the hands of Prohibition and Depression-era gangsters and in Hollywood films, most notably in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. It was often referred to as the "gun that made the twenties roar".
