Presumably, Thompson would show up with a Thompson, and start dropping worthless hacks left and right.

Well, OK, maybe he'd just show up, wave his submachine gun around a bit, then spray mace to the face of everyone not hiding. Then he'd light a few things on fire, and split.

It'd be more of a moral victory.

If that.
