Thompson in 1918 which became infamous during the Prohibition era, being a signature weapon of various organized crime syndicates in the United States. It was a common sight in the media of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals.[18] The Thompson submachine gun was also known informally as the \"Tommy Gun\", \"Annihilator\", \"Chicago Typewriter\", “Trench Broom”, \"Chicago Submachine\", \"Chicago Piano\", \"Chicago Style\", \"Chicago Organ Grinder\", \"Drum Gun\",\"The Chopper\", and simply \"The Thompson\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Thompson was favored by soldiers, criminals, police, FBI, and civilians alike for its large .45 ACP cartridge and high volume of fully automatic fire. It has since gained popularity among civilian collectors for its historical significance. It has considerable significance in popular culture, especially in works about the Prohibition era and World War II, and is among the best-known firearms in history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorld War II\u003cbr\u003eIn 1938, the Thompson submachine gun was adopted by the U.S. military, serving during World War II and beyond.
