I was a little confused at first. I thought that she had a BAR. So I looked up the Colt Monitor. Were they based off of the BAR? They look similar.
The Monitor was a refinement of the BAR design to make it shorter and lighter. It was purchased by the FBI and a number of law enforcement agencies in the US, and widely exported, in a number of foreign service rifle calibers. Colt also offered them for sale to the public in the 1920s but no sales to individuals were recorded, possibly due to the $300 price tag, the equivalent of about $3600 today. Some businesses did purchase them for use by armed security guards.
Thompson was called the Chicago typewriter because it made so many headlines.
