Well, you didn't specify which gang but common rifles included; the Winchester 1907, Remington model 8, Browning BAR, and the Thompson SMG. Shotguns such as the semiautomatic Browning A5/Remington model 11 were also very popular with gangsters as well as various pumps and single shots, often with the barrels cut back and the butt-stocks cut down. These types of guns are often referred to as "whippets." Handguns commonly used by gangsters in the prohibition era included semi-automatic Colt model 1911 .45 ACPs and 38 Supers as well as various Colt and Smith and Wesson revolvers.
