The Thompson was first utilized by the United States Marine Corps during the Banana Wars, as well as by the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Irish Republican Army, the Republic of China, and the FBI after the Kansas City Massacre.
It was also available for purchase by the general public. Due to its extensive use by criminals, the Thompson gained a notorious reputation during the Prohibition era, becoming the favored weapon of many organized crime groups in the 1920s. It frequently appeared in the media and was wielded by both law enforcement and criminals alike.
