Historical background:

The Tommy Gun, used by the Italian Mafia during the famous Prohibition period in the USA. The difference lies in the front handle included in the handguard and its camembert magazine.

The Thompson M1A1 military version became one of the best-known weapons. Used by the American armed forces during the Second World War and featured in numerous video games, the machine gun was later used by the FBI during the Prohibition era.

A little anecdote: the right-hand magazine was known to have problems reassembling the bullets, and many soldiers wanted the less problematic Camembert, a request refused by the top brass because it was mainly used by the Mafia.
