Thompson muzzle attachment

The square attachment is clear in the screencaps, I was guessing a military blank firing attachment? Other films made in the UK made the time Went the day well which used the same weapons do not feature this attachment. Any ideas? --Maskedweasel (talk) 18:53, 17 July 2014 (EDT)

Can it be a device for attaching a bayonet or maybe a bipod? Greg-Z (talk) 03:15, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

It could be that this is a military BFA meaning that this is a live fire weapon which is being used in the film. In other films they may have been using weapons specifically converted to blank fire by changing the barrels/springs/bolt/whatever. --commando552 (talk) 05:35, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

I think I've found it. It appears to be a rare commercially available "after market" muzzle break. The only mention I have found is on the forum which is linked below. I'll do some more digging see to see if I can find some images. --Maskedweasel (talk) 08:44, 21 July 2014 (EDT)

"Little Caesar" has a similar one. I'm sure this is a blank firing attachment. --Slon95 (talk) 14:22, 21 February 2021 (EST)
