Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally invented by Brig. General John T. Thompson in 1918, the Thompson Submachine Gun was envisioned as a "one-man, hand-held machine gun" that would bring an end to WWI's entrenched stalemate. The air-cooled, recoil-operated, magazine-fed "trench sweeper" weighed less than 16 pounds (when equipped with a 50-cartridge magazine) and could be used for both automatic and semi-automatic fire. Although the weapon debuted after WWI came to an end, the Thompson was quickly adopted by the Marine Corps, FBI, and by the general public - including by organized crime. During the Prohibition Era the "Chicago Piano" or "Chicago Typewriter" became a mafia favorite due to its high rate of fire and large magazine capacity. During WWII, the "Tommy Gun" was widely fielded by the U.S. armed forces, with over 1.5 million produced by the end of the conflict. The main models in production were the M1928A1, M1 and M1A1. Originally published in December, 1941, this basic field manual was standard issue for U.S. Army personnel. It features a chapter on weapon mechanics with sections on weapon assembly and disassembly, care and cleaning, spare parts, functioning, safety precautions, and a primer on ammunition. It also includes chapters on technique of fire, marksmanship from a moving vehicle, marksmanship against air and ground targets, and advice to instructors. This high-quality reproduction presents the manual in its entirety. Although slightly reformatted, care has been to preserve the integrity of the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of a series of Second World War booklets on weapons intended for the training of recruits, this treatise is dedicated to the venerable military type Thompson .45 calibre submachine gun. This model (M1928) had provisions for box and drum magazines. It had a Cutts compensator, cooling fins on the barrel, employed a delayed blowback action and its charging handle was on the top of the receiver. The booklet describes the correct loading and unloading of the gun; the action of the firing mechanism; the magazines; the action of gases and the cooling system and notes on how to deal with jams and stoppages. The Thompson was used in World War II in the hands of Allied troops as a weapon for scouts, non-commissioned officers (corporal, sergeant and higher) and patrol leaders, as well as commissioned officers, tank crewmen and soldiers performing raids on German positions. In the European theatre, the gun was widely utilised in British and Canadian commando units, as well as in the US Army paratrooper and Ranger battalions, where it was issued more frequently than in line infantry units because of its high rate of fire and its stopping power, which made it very effective in the kinds of close combat these special operations troops were expected to undertake. Military Police were fond of it, as were paratroopers, who 'borrowed' Thompsons from members of mortar squads for use on patrols behind enemy lines. The gun was prized by those lucky enough to get one and proved itself in the close street fighting that was encountered frequently during the invasion of France. Through Lend-Lease, the Soviet Union also received the Thompson, but due to a shortage of appropriate ammunition, its use was not widespread. The Thompson submachine gun was also known informally as the 'Tommy Gun', 'Street Sweeper', 'Annihilator', 'Chicago Typewriter', 'Trench Broom', 'Chicago Submachine', 'Chicago Piano', 'Chicago Style', 'Chicago Organ Grinder', 'Drum Gun', 'the Chopper', 'the Tommy Boy' or simply 'the Thompson', and is one of the most well-known and recognised firearms in history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Influenced by the German MP 40 and the British Sten, the .45-caliber M3 “Grease Gun” served as the primary US submachine gun for almost a half-century. Designed to replace the expensive Thompson SMG, the M3 was issued to airborne troops and others during World War II thanks to its compact design with sliding wire stock. An improved variant, the M3A1, was favored by armored crews right up to the beginning of the 1990s, seeing service in 1991's Operation Desert Storm. In Korea and Vietnam, reconnaissance troops and special-operations forces were at times armed with the M3A1 – also available in a suppressed version – and it was the first SMG issued to the US counterterrorist unit Delta Force. Featuring full-color artwork, first-hand accounts, and archive and close-up photographs, this is the engaging story of the M3 submachine gun.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osprey's new Weapon series provides a highly-detailed yet affordable overview of the development, use, and impact of small arms throughout history - from the sword to the machine gun. Learn the true story of one of history's most well travelled weapons. Developed late in World War I (1914-1918) to be a fearsome trench-warfare weapon, the Thompson submachine gun's fame and success came in unexpected quarters. An iconic and innovative design, the M1921 Thompson was soon adopted by Prohibition-era gangs and used ruthlessly on the streets of New York and Chicago. But its military career was relaunched with the outbreak of World War II (1939-1945), used by armies, commandos and resistance groups worldwide. Using expert knowledge and first-hand accounts, this chronicle of one of the world's greatest submachine guns analyzes the Thompson's development, its legacy, and the experiences of the men who used it in combat. Features rare photographs and original artwork by Peter Dennis.
