What kind of gun is the detective holding, second from the left?

wow you're good! I thought something looked odd with how he was holding it.

I guess it launched a projectile from off of the end?
 
What movie? Looks like NY cops, vintage 1930's. I would love to have that 100 round Thompson drum.

Mike, the tear gas projectile was loaded in what looked like an oversize shotgun shell. The gun broke like a single barrel shotgun to load from the rear. Police still have them.

(It has to be a movie or a posed picture; in a real standoff, the photographer would not have been or allowed to be out front to take the picture.)

1 gauge shotgun.:eek:

Look at the huge drum on that one Thompson. Holy cow...what, 150 rounds? And the guy next to him looks like Herman Munster.
