Central to these operations was the Thompson submachine gun. Costing roughly $200 – nearly half the price of a contemporary Ford Model A—the weapon reflected the significant capital criminals poured into their armaments. These high-speed raids were devastatingly effective; for example, the Dillinger gang’s Greencastle heist yielded the equivalent of $1.5 million today. By the late 1930s, economic stabilisation and modernized law enforcement tactics finally brought an end to this era of high-profile gangsterism.
