The Thompson submachine gun, also known as the Tommy gun, was an American submachine gun (SMG) that became infamous during the Prohibition era. ...Thompson submachine gun barrels were modified to provide the .45 caliber barrel, which was ported to provide a slow release of high pressure gas. The silencer, over 2 inches in diameter, went all the way from the back of the barrel to well beyond the muzzle (the silencer makes up half the overall length of the rifle), providing a very large volume of space to contain the gasses of firing. This large volume was one of the keys to the effectiveness of the silencer. The Lee_Enfield bolt was modified to feed the .45 ACP rounds, and the Lee_Enfield's magazine assembly was replaced with a new assembly that held a M1911 magazine in place.


After the war, most of these weapons were destroyed for fear that they would fall into the wrong hands.
