Weapons of gangsters of the 30s. Gangster weapons

The Thompson submachine gun (Tommy gun) is an American submachine gun developed by Auto-Ordnance in 1917 and actively used during World War II.

The developer of this submachine gun is usually considered to be American General John Toliver Thompson. However, Thompson himself acted more as a businessman, who in 1916, together with Thomas Ryan, who provided financing for the project, founded the Auto-Ordnance company with the goal of developing an automatic / self-loading rifle based on the patent they had bought on the original semi-breather design, issued to John Blish in 1915. The direct developers of the weapon were engineer Theodor Eickhoff, hired by Thompson and Ryan, as well as Oscar Payne and George Goll.

In 1918, a working prototype was ready, which was given a sonorous commercial designation - “Annihilator I” (“Annihilator”). According to legend, the first batch of these weapons, intended for testing at the front, arrived at the New York docks on November 11, 1918 - just the day the war ended.

The first production model appeared in 1921. The Thompson M1921 received its final, familiar design: a barrel with transverse cooling ribs at the base, two pistol fire control handles, a removable wooden butt, a sector sight with a diopter rear sight, designed for shooting up to 600 yards (548 m). Stores - box-shaped for 20 and 30 and drum - for 50 and 100 rounds. This version of the submachine gun was offered on the civilian arms market, although the very, very high cost ($200 - despite the fact that a Ford passenger car cost about $400) did not contribute to mass sales. It should be noted that the design and ergonomics of the Thompson have had big influence on further development American weapons and were subsequently copied many times in whole or in part.

A small number of Thompson M1921s were purchased privately by the US Marine Corps, as well as some police departments. They were used to a limited extent in local conflicts of those years in Latin America(the so-called “Banana Wars”), during which it quickly became clear that at close range, a squad of 4 submachine gunners armed with submachine guns could easily compare in firepower to a full squad of 9 riflemen with rifles. Complaints were caused by the excessive weight of the weapon, low efficiency of fire beyond 50 yards (~45 m) and the relatively low penetration ability of the bullet.

In 1923, Thompson created a militarized version of the weapon - the M1923, which had a long barrel, a bayonet and a slightly simplified design, and also used a special, more powerful 45-caliber cartridge. However, in the Army the idea of ​​such weapons for a long time remained unclaimed.

However, the Thompson still gained greatest fame during this period - the era of Prohibition - as a weapon of American gangsters. Even the state control over the sale of weapons to Auto-Ordnance, introduced in 1928, could not prevent the Thompsons from falling into their hands. Having received the unofficial name Tommy-gun, the machine gun turned from an anti-gangster into a weapon of gangster wars, becoming their main hero and establishing itself with best side. "Tommy guns" were used during the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" that thundered throughout the United States, which occurred on February 14, 1929 in Chicago.

During the Prohibition era, the tabloid press dubbed this weapon the “Devil's Death Machine,” the “Great Helper for Business Prosperity,” and the “Chicago Typewriter.” The newspapers were full of articles about the showdown in the bootlegging business:
On September 25, 1925, Frank McErland and Joe "Polak" Saltis shot the team of the "cool" O'Donnell in Chicago. On February 14, 1929, Jack McGurn, Fred Burke and other associates of Al Capone massacred 7 people from the Moran gang in a North Clark Street garage (Valentine's Day Massacre). On June 17, 1933, Charles Arthur Floyd (Handsome) and two gangsters shot up four police cars at a Kansas City station in half a minute. On November 27, 1934, two FBI agents were shot and killed by Nelson. The next day, Nelson’s body was found, with 17 .45 caliber bullets.

In order to fight gangsters on equal terms, police officers, FBI agents, as well as the US Postal Service and the Coast Guard armed themselves with Thompsons.

During World War II they armed themselves with Tommy guns Marines, sabotage units, paratroopers, military intelligence. Tommy Gun fought not only on all fronts where the Americans fought, but also in the USSR, where weapons were sent under Lend-Lease.

War is over. Weapon stocks from warehouses have been sold out. It seemed that it was time for old Tommy to retire. But no! Convenient and reliable Tommy gun served in the FBI until the early 80s of the 20th century. Thompson machine guns during vietnam war Both American intelligence units and South Vietnamese police armed themselves.

The M1 model Tommy gun was produced in small quantities until 1971. However, given the huge demand among collectors, its production was resumed in 1975.

The Tommy gun was widely used in the 90s of the 20th century in wars on the territory of the former Yugoslavia.

But what about today, since it’s already the 21st century? Tommy gun is one of the most popular types of weapons at all kinds of gun shows!

The release of Tommy Gun replicas is also quite profitable business. The demand among collectors is still not satisfied. The cost of serviceable Tommy guns made in the USA starts from $10,000, Chinese replicas are somewhat lower, but also not a penny...

The very name “Tommy gun” has already become part of American history. That's what they call songs, films, computer games, fashionable shops, bars on the road... In Hollywood there is even a film studio with this big name.
So, old man “Tommy”, I think, will live for quite a long time!
And the name, I believe, is even longer!

Most of the trunks, which are generally considered criminal, gained their dark fame not because of their participation in crimes, but thanks to Hollywood. This happened with the Thompson submachine gun - the famous “Tommy gun”, which became a symbol of the gangster wars of the 20-30s in the USA. “The majority of Thompsons were not owned by gangsters or the police, but by the Warner Brothers studio,” says the weapons historian.

The Kalashnikov assault rifle had a similar fate: specific gravity This weapon is small when committing crimes and in criminal showdowns - machine guns are bulky and by no means cheap. But Kalash appeared in several high-profile crimes, and then Hollywood created an image for them as the favorite weapon of all the bad guys. What about the real criminals? And they prefer to use something smaller and cheaper.

Slandered "Tommy"

The M1928 submachine gun became the favorite weapon of gangsters during Prohibition. Of course, the bandits used these weapons - the most famous crime where the Tommy Gun appeared was the "Valentine's Day Massacre." On February 14, 1929, mafiosi Al Capone literally killed seven competitors from the Irish Bugs Moran group in the garage. The body of Frank Gusenberg, the only one who survived when the police arrived, was later counted as having 22 bullet wounds. By the way, the killers used not only Thompsons, but also shotguns, but the latter did not become a symbol of gangster wars - the charisma was not the same.

It is believed that General John Thompson began work on the machine gun in 1916. The first production “Tommy” in our usual design appeared in 1921: a barrel with transverse cooling fins, a removable butt, two pistol grips. The machine gun used .45 ACP pistol cartridges with a heavy but low-velocity bullet - their initial speed did not exceed 280 meters per second. Cartridges were fed from 20- and 30-round box magazines or from 50- and 100-round disc magazines.

At first the military did not appreciate this weapon - they did not like the short range, heavy weight, a rather weak cartridge and an exorbitant price: the first “Tommies” cost $200 - that’s about half the cost of a passenger car. Therefore, the machine gun began to enter the civilian market, where it also attracted the attention of criminals.

But its use was not widespread, if only because of cost. The same Italians preferred cheaper sawed-off shotguns - traditional weapons Sicilian mafia (the famous “Lupara”), fortunately in close combat this weapon was not much inferior to machine guns in terms of effectiveness.

Interesting fact: in the car of the famous criminal couple Bonnie and Clyde after their death, a whole arsenal was found - pistols, sawed-off pump-action shotguns, even two Browning BAR M1918 automatic rifles (in American army they were used as light machine guns). But there was not a single Thompson there.

Thompsons began to be supplied to the American military only in the 1930s, and they were first used in combat during an operation in Nicaragua. During World War II, heavily redesigned and cheaper Tommy guns (M1928A1 and M1A1) were used by the Americans, the British, and even sent under Lend-Lease to the USSR. If you believe the memories of front-line soldiers, they were not very popular due to insufficient reliability and a non-standard cartridge. There are, for example, army stories that a Koltov bullet did not penetrate a pea coat from a distance of several tens of meters.

The gun that blacks love

Assault pistols are another class of weapon that is strongly associated with the criminal world. They were born due to weapons bans and gained fame as criminals due to their cool appearance. The very term “assault pistol” is absurd: it is difficult to imagine soldiers going on the attack with pistols. In America, this is the name given to civilian versions of submachine guns that have no automatic fire mode and no stock. For example, in the 1990s, he was firmly among the ten most criminal trunks. Its history began in the 1980s of the last century in Sweden, when the local company Interdynamics AB created an unremarkable submachine gun. Realizing that it would not be possible to interest local military and police officers in the new product, the company’s management organized production in the United States of a self-loading version of the DC-9 for the civilian market.

The weapon was cheap, had a terrifying appearance and a large capacity magazine. Security forces and civilians did not need Intratec: it was bulky, heavy, and, in addition, unreliable and inaccurate. But he gained popularity among black street gangs, because you could pose effectively with him and do fingering.

The situation was approximately the same with the Ingram MAC10 submachine gun of the American Gordon Ingram. Its production began in 1970, the distinctive features of the weapon were simplicity, reliability, compactness, high rate of fire - 20 rounds per second - and the .45 ACP cartridge. However, the MAC10 was very inconvenient; due to its low mass, it shook violently and, as a result, it was difficult to hit even at close range. Ingram was not liked by the security forces, but writers and directors appreciated him. In action movies, it is recommended as a machine gun that can be used to cut down trees and smash a 50-kilogram carcass into pieces in seconds. Street gangs picked up the trend and began using versions of the MAC10 in the format of assault pistols.

The most lethal

And now about what American crime really uses. A list of such weapons is periodically published by the American Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Control, firearms and explosives (ATF). Up to 90 percent of crimes are committed with the participation of cheap revolvers and pistols, and the main criminal long-barreled weapons can be considered a sawn-off 12-gauge double-barreled shotgun and a Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun in various modifications. Shotguns in this series have been produced since 1961 and, along with the Remington 870 and Winchester 1300, are among the three most popular pump-action shotguns in the United States. Since 1979, the Mossberg 500 has been in service with the US Armed Forces, and is also widely used by the American police and security forces of other countries.

The top three most criminal short-barreled guns are opened by the unremarkable cheap pocket pistols Raven and Lorcin.
The first owes its appearance to the anti-gun act of 1968, which limited the import of compact pistols for self-defense into the United States. Then the owner of a workshop for the production of missile parts, George Jennings, founded the Raven Arms company and launched the production of small six-shot pistols chambered for the weak .25 ACP cartridge (6.35x16 millimeters). The project turned out to be successful: in just over 20 years, Jennings’ enterprise produced about three million Ravens. However, in 1991, the owner of the company closed his business and sold the rights to produce the pistol to the weapons company Phoenix Arms. Perhaps Jennings was prompted to curtail the project by the fact that throughout the years of Raven's release, the anti-gun lobby did not give up attempts to push through laws prohibiting the production of cheap weapons in America.

Lorcin is a family of pocket pistols manufactured by Lorcin Engineering in California. Lorcin are produced in different calibers- from the “small” .22LR to the quite impressive 9x19 Parabellum (adopted as the main pistol cartridge in armies). The company operated from 1989 to 1999 and was closed due to large-scale thefts of weapons from its warehouses.

The experience of the First World War showed that several dozen people with rifles and a couple of machine guns holed up in a shelter created an almost insurmountable defensive line. Only a massive artillery strike, which practically “dug up” the enemy’s positions, helped to take it. Without artillery support, even a multiple advantage in manpower did not help the attackers. The reasons for this were seen in the low density of fire in the rifle chain. Magazine rifles and rare light machine guns could not completely suppress enemy fire, which practically knocked out the first ranks of soldiers.

The way out of the impasse was the introduction of light automatic weapons into the troops - light machine guns, automatic rifles and submachine guns. One of the first successful examples of this weapon was the American Thompson submachine gun. Note that in the twenties there was no division into machine guns and submachine guns, so these concepts in the article are considered equivalent, although the creator of the weapon, General John T. Thompson himself, used the term - submachine-gun (SMG), translated something like “ sub-machine gun” or “sub-machine gun”.

How the legendary Thompson was created

General John Toliver Thompson is considered the creator of the submachine gun, although in fact the machine gun was developed on the basis of the Blish bolt group by a team of several American engineers: Oscar Payne, George Goll and Theodor Eickhoff.

But first things first. In 1915, John Thompson became excited about the release of automatic infantry weapons. For this purpose, he acquires a license for a semi-free shutter from the then famous engineer Blish. In 1916, the production company Auto-Ordnance was created. The hired designers begin work.

Since it turned out that the use of high-power cartridges is poorly suited for the Blish bolt group, it was decided to use the “pride of America” - the .45ACP cartridge.

In 1918, the company released its first SMG, Annihilator I. But this machine gun was already late for the war.

In addition to the fact that the army purchasing commissions were somewhat stagnant after the end of the war, the cost of the Thompson submachine gun was very high and this was not due to the appetites of the creators. To manufacture a Thompson assault rifle, mechanical processing of the metal was required - a milled bolt group and trigger, receiver, turning and planing. This increased the number of labor hours and increased the overall cost of the weapon.

However, the machine gun began to be produced in small quantities for sale to civilians and supplies to the armies of other countries. Interesting fact: in the mid-20s, a batch of Thompson SMGs was purchased by Soviet Russia. They were intended for the troops Political Department and border guards. In the hands of the latter, they took part in battles with the Basmachi in Central Asia, where they performed simply superbly.

How the machine gun served in the mafia's arsenal

Prohibition, which broke out in the United States in 1920, could not stop people who wanted to take a dose of alcohol from drinking alcohol, but it had a very beneficial effect on smugglers. The profits of illegal immigrants delivering alcohol from Canada (there was no ban on drinking alcohol there) reached sky-high levels.

Where there is a lot of money, there will always be people who want to “protect” such “money dealers”. This led to a sharp increase in organized crime and, inevitable in such a situation, bloody redistribution of spheres of influence.

The bandits quickly and appreciated the advantages of rapid-fire hand weapons. The police, armed with revolvers and pistols, could not resist automatic weapons. In their showdowns, the mafiosi also preferred to use the reliable and fast-firing Thompson submachine gun, which by that time had received a new name “Tommy Gun” for advertising purposes.

The introduction of these weapons into the life of the mafia was so great that it found a place in the great works of American cinema and literature.

The famous Bonnie and Clyde from the film of the same name were armed with Thompson weapons, just like their real prototypes; in the film “Some Like It Hot,” these weapons are used in mafia showdowns.

Finally, in “ Godfather“Mario Puzo Don Corleone and his son Santino suffered from these same machines. In reality, there were so many murders committed with this weapon that the tabloid press excitedly talked about its next use.

Here are a few excerpts from famous murders:

• 09/25/1925, execution by competitors of the gang of “cool” O. Donnell in the city of Chicago;
• 02/14/1929 Al Capone's people shoot 7 people Bugs Moran, also Chicago. This shooting was called the “Valentine’s Day Massacre”;
• 06/17/1933 “Handsome” Charles Floyd with a couple of other mafiosi shoot four police cars at once, this happened in Kansas City;
• On November 27, 1934, Nelson killed two FBI agents. On November 28, security officers shot Nelson himself during his arrest. The list goes on and on.

In 1933, after the shooting in Kansas, the Thompson SMG entered service first with the FBI and then with the police department. The guards of law and order were now able to at least adequately shoot back.

Thompson's working principle

The principle of operation of the mechanics of the Thompson assault rifle is based on the semi-free bolt of the original design.

When fired, the recoil slows down not due to the inertia of the massive bolt body, as in a free bolt, but due to the friction that occurs between the walls of the receiver and the extensions of the Blish bronze insert.

The cartridge is fed into the chamber from the magazine when the bolt is retracted and sent forward, at the moment of retraction the trigger is cocked, when the trigger is pressed, the hammer is released from the cocking action and the firing pin hits the cartridge primer.

The bolt begins to slowly roll back, as it is slowed down by the liner, which rests against the walls of the grooves of the receiver.

Ejector tooth removes spent cartridge case, a cartridge from the magazine is inserted in its place, and the striking mechanism is cocked. At the end of the recoil, the return spring returns the bolt forward, sending the cartridge into the chamber.

Use of a machine gun during World War II

Although combat use The Thompson submachine gun was limited by its large weight, even despite the appearance of a box magazine with a reduced number of cartridges, as well as bulkiness, it left a certain mark on combat operations.

From 1940 to 1944, the US industry produced almost 1,400,00 Thompson assault rifles.

It was used in combat on almost all fronts where the Americans fought. It was used in North Africa, and quite a few copies of this weapon were among the troops that landed in Europe.

In battles against Japan, its use was noted after a turning point during the fighting. There are widely known images of paratroopers in Okinawa armed with “Tommy guns”. The machine gun entered the British Army as part of the Lend-Lease program.

The USSR received about 75,000 machine guns, mainly as component heavy weapons configurations. The British sought to saturate their units as much as possible automatic weapons(due to the relatively small population of the country, the divisions needed maximum striking power), so all machine guns were welcome.

The USSR, on the other hand, did not express much enthusiasm. Soviet machine guns were not inferior to them in terms of characteristics, and there were many of them. Industry alone produced more than 6 million. Nevertheless, images of North Sea sailors with Thompsons in their hands are quite widely known.

In the twenties and thirties, China produced unlicensed Thompson assault rifles and used them against the Japanese invaders.

In addition, the Chinese army received several batches of machine guns under the Lend-Lease program. Resistance movement in different countries was armed by the allies, and Thompson submachine guns were supplied among the weapons.

Germany had several thousand of these machine guns captured in 1940 from the British and French and later from Resistance fighters.

How the machine gun was used after the war

Although the Thompson submachine gun proved to be somewhat outdated in the Second World War (large mass, technological complexity of processing), many submachine guns were manufactured, and there was no full-fledged replacement.

This weapon was loved by ordinary soldiers and special service soldiers. Therefore, the Tommy Gun remained in service until the mid-1970s; the final replacement occurred with mass production.

It was actively used in the Korean War 1950-53. During civil war in Vietnam, Thompsons were armed mainly by South American soldiers; in American units it was used in groups special purpose.

The last real use of “Tommy-Gan” in combat conditions by army units was recorded during the Balkan troops of the nineties of the last century.

However, one should not think that the machine gun is no longer used in combat - it is still found in local civil conflicts in third world countries.

What civilian variants did the machine gun have?

As you know, citizens of the United States of America have the right to freely bear arms.

Yet civilian weapons should have lower characteristics than the army one, so manufacturers have released several versions of sports and civilian assault rifles. True, they were renamed self-loading carbines.

Among them, the following models should be noted:

• M1927A1– the Thompson self-loading carbine has undergone changes to the bolt, as a result of which it has lost the ability to fire in bursts;
• M1927A3- a self-loading sports carbine for shooting with a twenty-second caliber. The weapon became lighter and was successfully used at the shooting range;
• M1927A5- a self-loading carbine chambered for a standard Colt pistol cartridge. Some of the steel parts were replaced with aluminum, and the barrel was shortened by half (to 5 inches) so that the carbine met US requirements for conventional pistols;
• Thompson 1927A was produced in 2008 in a small batch, without a stock, with a barrel length of 266 millimeters, but with a disk magazine for fifty rounds.

What were the main modifications and their performance characteristics?

Despite a significant number of different modifications, Thompson submachine guns had quite a lot in common. First of all, this is the bolt group, which has remained virtually unchanged during numerous alterations and simplifications.

The second is caliber. SMG Thompson - for army units it was produced only in .45 caliber.

During production, the barrel length and finish changed, the magazines changed, from 100-round “pancakes” to short 20 local magazines. The receiver also changed, its production was simplified, and sights.

Conclusion

Even though the Thompson submachine gun did not become the most famous weapon on the fronts of World War II, its mark on combat operations is undeniable, and for the US Army it turned out to be the best way increasing the density of infantry fire.

“Tommy Gun” became iconic for American mafia, whose fighters we are used to seeing from the screen armed with precisely these automatic weapons.

Video

At all times there have been those who break the law. Some cross the road in the wrong place, others do things much more dangerous to society. “Inveterate” bandits are found in every corner of our planet. And many of them have real weapons on their shoulders or in their pockets. This review will focus on pistols, shotguns and rifles that are preferred by criminal elements.

"Tommy Gun"

There is no more charismatic submachine gun in this world than the M1928 or Thompson submachine gun. It was created in 1916 by American weapons designer John Thompson. In the 20-30s, weapons were indeed incredibly popular among gangsters, but they were not the only thing they used. “Tommy” gained fame throughout America after the “Valentine’s Day Massacre,” when Al Capone’s men shot seven competitors from a neighboring gang in a garage. Some had 22 bullet wounds in their bodies.

Intratec TEC DC-9

The assault pistol emerged due to numerous weapon restrictions. In essence, this is still the same submachine gun, often shortened and lightweight, and without the function of automatic fire. It’s hard to imagine a soldier like this in battle, but in the criminal world they have found their recognition. One of the most popular in the USA was and remains the Intratec TEC DC-9, which is strongly associated with black gangs. Intratec's creation was not the most reliable and absolutely not outstanding. It failed to interest the military. But it looked menacing and was “scarily” cheap.

Ingram MAC10

Another submachine gun that has found recognition in the criminal world is the Ingram MAC10. It was created by the American Gordon Ingram. This miracle began to be produced in the 70s of the last century. The weapon turned out to be simple, reliable and very compact. But most importantly, it fired 20 rounds per second with .45 ACP caliber cartridges. One of the disadvantages of the MAC10 was its low mass, which caused severe shaking of the weapon when firing. The pistol also did not have good ergonomics.

Mossberg 500

The Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun in various modifications is the barrel that accounts for the lion's share of all crimes in the United States. Simplicity and reliability of design, excellent ergonomics, 12-gauge cartridge - all this will make a smoothbore gun an ideal killer and a constant participant in criminal cases from domestic to gang warfare. This miracle has been produced since 1961. Along with it, Remington 870 and Winchester 1300 and their derivatives are popular.

Raven MP-25 and Lorcin L380

Small pocket pistols, which are among the top ten sad leaders in terms of the number of crimes committed in the United States. The reason for this is simple and obvious - weapons can be easily hidden. Despite the small dimensions, they use the impressive 9x19 Parabellum military cartridge.

By the way, it is these pistols that are responsible for the increased nervousness of the US police. Every now and then the incidents that occur with the injury or murder of some poor fellow who has not very successfully pulled his hands out of his pockets are connected precisely with the bandits’ love for these kids. Moreover, these pistols account for the majority of police killings in America.

Smith&Wesson

The five-shot 38-caliber revolver has been repeatedly recognized as the most deadly weapon in USA. The Smith & Wesson revolver has killed more people in the United States than any other handgun. It is worth noting, however, that Smith & Wesson has been producing revolvers since 1899. During this time, the design and design of the weapon changed several times. The Smith & Wesson M60 is considered the most popular model among bandits.
