MPM has it right on the mags for the Thompsons. The 20rd sticks have been around since the weapon was designed and the 30rd mags came into being in 1942 to increase the amount of ammo you can carry. A pouch carrying one 50rd drum can carry about five 30rd mags in the same space. That's extra 100rds and they are easier to load than the drum.
