The Thompson M1A1 was issued to scouts, non-commissioned officers (corporals, sergeants, and higher-ranking), officers, and patrol leaders. The gun was widely utilized in British and Canadian Commando units and issued more frequently to in-line infantry units due to its high rate of fire and stopping power. This made it highly effective in close combat situations. The Thompson fired a hefty 230-grain, .45 ACP round, almost twice the mass of the 9mm Parabellum bullets used by the enemy, at a rate of about 650 rounds per minute, making it a formidable weapon.
