	The Thompson submachine gun~~, also known as~~ the ~~"Tommy gun," was invented by U.S. Army Brigadier General John T.~~ Thompson ~~in 1918. Although it missed World War I combat~~, ~~it saw early~~ use ~~by the U~~.~~S. Marine Corps, the Postal Inspection Service, the Irish Republican Army, the Republic of [[China]]~~, and ~~the FBI~~. ~~The weapon became notorious during Prohibition as the favored weapon of organized crime syndicates. Widely adopted by U.S. and Allied forces during World War II~~, ~~the Thompson's main models were~~ the M1928~~, M1,~~ and ~~[[M1A1]], with over 1.5 million units produced during the war~~.		The Thompson M1928 is an American .45 ACP submachine gun in the Thompson family, built around the earlier Model 1921 pattern but tuned for military use. It is best known for its distinctive profile with a top-mounted charging handle, and for variants commonly fitted with a Cutts compensator and finned barrel. Unlike later simplified Thompsons, the M1928/M1928A1 pattern can use both box magazines and drum magazines.
	=HISTORY=		==HISTORY==
	~~Brigadier General John T.~~ Thompson~~, of~~ the U.S. ~~Army's ordnance department~~, ~~invented~~ and ~~developed~~ the ~~Thompson submachine gun to replace bolt~~-~~action rifles like~~ the ~~[[M1903 Springfield]]. He utilized John Bell Blish's 1915 patent for~~ the ~~Blish lock~~, ~~leading~~ to ~~the foundation of the Auto-Ordnance Company in 1916 with Thomas F. Ryan's financial backing~~.		The Model 1928 grew out of the original Thompson Model 1921 after the U.S. Navy pushed for changes better suited to military service, including a reduced rate of fire and improved controllability. This was achieved by adopting a heavier actuator (to slow the cyclic rate), along with features such as the Cutts compensator and a horizontal fore-end on many Navy-configured guns. Early Navy guns were often “overstamps,” with an “8” stamped over the last “1” in “1921” on the receiver marking, and are commonly referred to by collectors as “1928 Navy” or “28N.”

	~~Developed mainly in Cleveland, Ohio, by designers Theodore H. Eickhoff, Oscar V. Payne, and George E. Goll~~, the Thompson ~~submachine gun used a friction~~-~~delayed blowback action~~ and ~~was chambered in~~ .~~45 ACP~~. ~~Initially named~~ the ~~"Annihilator I~~,~~" it was rebranded~~ in ~~1919 as~~ the ~~"Thompson Submachine Gun" after World War I ended before prototypes~~ could be ~~deployed~~.		In World War II, the M1928A1 became the main mass-produced military form of the 1928-pattern Thompson and saw extensive early-war service before being relegated as production shifted to the simpler M1 and [[M1A1]] variants. Wartime experience also drove preference toward box magazines over the heavier, bulkier drums for routine field use. In the [[Vietnam War]] era, Thompsons remained in circulation through older stocks and foreign inventories, and they appeared in the hands of [[South Vietnamese]] forces and could also be encountered in captured or improvised use.

	~~The Model 1928, first widely used by military forces, was primarily purchased by the U~~.S. ~~Navy and Marine Corps in the 1930s. Originally Model 1921s with added weight to the actuator to meet Navy requirements, these~~ guns ~~had~~ the ~~"1921" on the receiver stamped with an "8" over the last "1". Collectors refer~~ to ~~this~~ model ~~as the "Colt Overstamp," "1921 Overstamp," "28 Navy," or "28N~~."		* [https://www.nramuseum.org/guns/the-galleries/wwii%2C-korea%2C-vietnam-and-beyond-1940-to-present/case-40-wwii-more-arms/usauto-ordnance-model-1928-thompson-submachine-gun.aspx NRA National Firearms Museum — US/Auto Ordnance Model 1928 Thompson Submachine Gun]

	~~The M1928A1 variant entered mass production before Pearl Harbor, replacing the vertical foregrip with a horizontal forend and adding a military sling provision~~. ~~Despite Lend-Lease shipments and~~ U.S. ~~military needs~~, ~~only two factories produced M1928A1s early in WWII.
