M1928 Thompson After Leo's bodyguard is killed, two of Caspar's thugs (Monte Starr and Don Picard ) each get a Thompson M1928 submachine gun and attempt to murder Leo in his upstairs bedroom. Leo (Albert Finney ) kills one with his New Service and takes his Thompson, fighting off the rest of the assassins. According to information and calculations from the IMDb "Goofs" page for this film, around 524 shots are fired from the 100-round drum in the Thompson: a 5-second burst from the gangster (28 shots), then subsequent 20 second bursts from Leo after taking it, each about 233 shots each. Leo's thugs arm themselves with Thompsons, as do police officers in the film.
