15 март 1921 г. - Colt begins the first production of the Thompson sub-machine gun (the "Tommy gun")

Описание:

This portable machine gun was very popular among Prohibition-Era gangsters. As the gangsters used this gun more, it created a public perception of increased crime and violence. However, there is little evidence that there was any actual increase in crime or violence.
