It has no real purpose; the early devs just thought it'd be a fun addition. However, it didn't get its animations finished before the initial release, so it was never added to the game.
Eventually, the missing animations were created, but it still hasn't been added to the civilian because it completely breaks all of the existing gametypes that the civilian is used in (for example, civilian with a tommygun on waterpolo or hunted means 1-hit kills from across the map).
It'd be possible to add it to the civilian and then remove it on any maps that it would break, but I'm not sure how much benefit it'd have overall anyway. So it's basically just an unused easter egg at this point.
EDIT: If you want to try it ingame, you can use the command 'give ff_weapon_tommygun' in console (needs sv_cheats 1).
