	Just before the prison break, Stan ([[Stan Laurel]]) gets passed a [[Colt M1921A Thompson]] from under the table in the mess hall. Stan, not knowing what the gun is, nonchalantly examines it before showing it to Ollie ([[Oliver Hardy]]). Ollie freaks out which causes Stan to discharge the Thompson, inciting the riot. The weapon then ends up being used by The Tiger (Walter Long) during the gunfight. The Thompson oddly has a fire moderator (resembling a scope) fitted to the bolt. Because Stan Laurel was unsure on how to end the movie, two separate climaxes to the prison break were filmed, the latter of which is the most familiar amongst fans. In the second ending, Stan and Ollie end up with the Tommy Gun and hold the prisoners at bay, firing it wildly, until the National Guard arrive. In this ending, the Thompson lacks the ~~crude scope~~.		Just before the prison break, Stan ([[Stan Laurel]]) gets passed a [[Colt M1921A Thompson]] from under the table in the mess hall.

Get Em Puppy: This is not a scope - it is a piston-type bolt moderator that is intended to reduce the firing rate.

	==Colt M1921A Thompson==		==Colt M1921A Thompson==
	Just before the prison break, Stan ([[Stan Laurel]]) gets passed a [[Colt M1921A Thompson]] from under the table in the mess hall. Stan, not knowing what the gun is, nonchalantly examines it before showing it to Ollie ([[Oliver Hardy]]). Ollie freaks out which causes Stan to discharge the Thompson, inciting the riot. The weapon then ends up being used by The Tiger (Walter Long) during the gunfight. The Thompson oddly has a fire moderator (resembling a scope) fitted to the bolt. Because Stan Laurel was unsure on how to end the movie, two separate climaxes to the prison break were filmed, the latter of which is the most familiar amongst fans. In the second ending, Stan and Ollie end up with the Tommy Gun and hold the prisoners at bay, firing it wildly, until the National Guard arrive. In this ending, the Thompson lacks the fire moderator.		Just before the prison break, Stan ([[Stan Laurel]]) gets passed a [[Colt M1921A Thompson]] from under the table in the mess hall.
