Tommy Gun sound effects for the chatter every gangster film needs. Short bursts, long rattling sprays and single shots, recorded outdoors so the tail rolls off through the trees. Then the bits in between: the bolt pulled back, the magazine going in, the handling that sells a close-up. Ricochets and bullet impacts too, for whatever's on the other end.
A Tommy Gun fires big pistol rounds very quickly, which gives it that fat, thumpy chatter rather than the crack of a rifle. The recordings capture the Thompson from several distances and mic positions, so a scene can cut from wide to the barrel without the gun changing character. Prohibition gangster films, wartime dramas and period shooters are where it turns up most. Old cartoons too.
