Actually, the main weapon that the Texas and Lousiana police officers used in that ambush was Clyde Barrow’s favorite weapon. The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). It brought extreme pain down upon it’s victims .30 calibers at a time.

A friend of mine and I, both around 40 years old now, were riding in a car with one of the college-age members of our church, and talking about military service and World War II. I was talking about a guy I knew in high school whose grandfather had been a BAR rifleman in Europe.

The young fellow perked up. "BAR? What's that?"

Trying to be succinct as possible, I replied "It's a thirty-ought-six machine gun."

"...dude!" the kid replied, with wonder on his face.

"Yep, that's the right response," I told him. "That's what the Germans said."

That’s funny....

I have a K-Bar that was presented to me from one of my units in the Marine Corps. (for those that do not know, a K-Bar is a Knife Browning Automatic Rifle, originally issued with the Bar). It would be awesome to fire one of these babies. I’ve fired a lot of machine guns, but not the BAR.
