It would indeed be a "HAPPY FATHERS DAY" if my little ones could come up with a Chicago Typewriter for me!

The Thompson is nice but it's pretty heavy and complicated. I'd rather have the old M3A1 Greasegun. Much lighter, easier to maintain and fun to shoot.

Gotta love the Tommy gun. It's a real classic piece of Americana.

I've never seen any indication the govt. issue M3's were 9mm. All the ones and literature I saw through the Army were in .45 only.

Correct.  The 9mm myth was a rumor started by europeans, mostly eastern block countries to slander the .45 ACP, and to claim that their european round was better.

Indoor gun range I shoot at rents out a full auto Thompson on "Machine Gun Night".   They rent out a bunch of submachine guns then, and it is a blast.  I went once and shot the Tommy gun, really cool.
