If gangsters during prohibition had todays choices what would they grab?

[Drakkule]

Glock 18's, easy to hide, fairly controllable, plentiful parts, ammo, and high cap mags, that's what i would pick.

I would think the ideal weapons in today's world might be an unfortunate fall down the stairs or an unexpected suicide...the crime being more sophisticated than the actual weapon. Also, suppressors have come a long ways from the prohibition days. Realistically, anyone with some time and access to a machine shop could put together an effective suppressor.

Maybe an IED if a statement must be made (e.g. the chicken man).

This, or a computer and your credit card, that's today's mob.

To make things even (caliber wise atleast) If I was offered a H&K UMP in .45acp then I would still take the Tommy Gun.

Pulling an H&K out of a violin case just looks silly.

Judging by the confiscated weapons I bid on recently (didn't win) being sold by a local police department I would have to say Lorcin's, hi points, Ravens, Jennings Arms, (did I mention hi points?), Rg revolvers, and amazingly enough, a Pre-Model 27 with a 6 1/2 inch barrel, one Glock, one Smith M&P, and a couple of model 10 Smiths, but by far and away the cheap under $100 automatics seem to be the weapon of choice for what passes for "Gangsters" now days. It's a pity, Dillinger at least had class in his weapons.

Well, what about from under a trench coat?

Gangsters

I would imagine they would use AK's. They are'nt difficult to operate and require absolutly no knowledge of maintenence.
Just right for the average Moron gang banger.
