M1A1

Being a post WW2 film (the events take place in 1949) we see ex military M1A1 Thompsons mixed in with the M1928 style submachine guns. Some of the M1A1 Thompsons have the straight foregrip (as they appeared in the Army) and some of them have the older style forward pistol grip reminiscent of the M1928 guns.
