Burp guns are not mentioned anymore are they? In the 1950s, every kid wanted a toy burp gun. Or a grease gun. They were stubby little automatics. Like an Uzi.

We had grease guns at Jackson.

They told us about curved barrels used in WWII to shoot around corners; but very few. They said they really chewed up barrels.

I know the Germans used some curved barrels too but many claimed the US did not.

I had a wind-up cap-firing burp/grease gun similar to this real McCoy, and used it battling Russians in Budapest in 1956, imaginary.
