They had barrels that would allow them to fire 9x19 rounds in some cases.

Barrels were steel tubing w/o rifling, just a plane old smooth bore firing a big chunk of lead.

PS War time production brought the straight blow back (no Blish lock mechanism) Thompson down to about $78/each, the M3 was $11/each.
