Actually, the Original "Trench Broom" was a shotgun, often with a barrel of less than 18" and a bayonet.
Thompson's came later, look at their model numbers.

Use .45 rounds in an MP5 style weapon.

Not sure why you seem to prefer the M1A1 Thompson to the M1928 with a Cutts compensator to help keep it down.... Have you ever spent much time on a range with a Thompson? They're not easy to be accurate with, and they really tend to climb, especially if you try to fire more than 3 round bursts. Takes a very delicate touch. And heavy? And the 50 round drums tend to jam....
