The Thompson is an iconic weapon. Though used to great effect by the Allies during World War II, it is vastly more infamous as the signature weapon of America's interwar gangsters. Some historians say that the Thompson is the gun that made the 20s roar. A character may spend one Stamina Point to Magdump! an enemy within Short Range.
America's submachinegun by excellence during WW2 was the Thompson M1A1 chambered in .45 ACP, seeing combat in every region of Earth. Its defining characteristics were a 30-round magazine (instead of the earlier 20-round ones, or the 50-round drum magazines) and the reduction of unnecessary parts. Due to its increased simplicity, the M1A1 could be produced at a fraction of an original M1921's cost, though it remained significantly more expensive than its foreign contemporaries.
