Eric, the M1928 Thompson Submachine Gun that is held by "Lois Lane" in the black and white photo from the 1950's TV Superman series you posted above... if you look closely, it is a mock-up that is made of wood. The reason for that is that a Thompson weighs enough with a drum magazine that the actress would not have been able to hold it up for the scene being filmed.
